The second U.S. radio single from British band Mumford & Sons. 60 50 MUMFORD & SONS The Cave 115 94 21 0.26 ^ It appeared on the Sunday chart. It's gone from the chart now. I am just thinking that stations are playing this because of "Little Lion Man" and the name Mumford & Sons. But I think it's a sign. ;) Video:

^Dont jinx it! This is far from a done deal. And to maintain perspective, a top 20 from "The Cave" should not be viewed as failure, and a top 10 should be viewed as a success, especially given The Crash Kings' and Dirty Heads' follow-ups have had more rocky climbs thus far, and neither appears bound to repeat.

^ This fits the format much better than LLM, so I'm pretty sure this will spend at least one week at the top....

You know, I thought all along with "Little Lion Man" that the song's biggest obstacle would be a false impression that the song might not 'fit in'. Aside from prominent banjo parts, which have never really fit any mainstream format, I thought the song fit here perfectly. It was released right about the same time as Edward Sharpe, both notable for being definitive 'change of pace' tracks, and it was pretty clear that if one of the two songs would emerge and become a big deal, it was going to be "Little Lion Man".
Honestly, I don't expect too much out of "The Cave"; it kind of takes too long to hit a stride. I think top 20 would be considered a big success. It's not like they're going to become a staple artist here.

I'm pretty sure this'll hit Top 20, since all of Glassnote's sucessful artists (Phoenix, Temper Trap) have and/or having great sucess with their followups. I think Glassnote does very well for an independant label.

It's getting great updates and is up to #35 on Real Time already. Perfect timing to keep sales alive during the Holiday season.

I Like "Little Lion Man" but this one IMO is definitely better!

^ "Little Lion Man" is way catchy and anthemic than this. Still both are awesome, along with practicly everything on the album.

Being someone who hasn't made it all the way through Little Lion Man yet, I have heard this entire song on radio. That has to make it at least slightly better for me!

I don't know if any of you were aware, but Mumford & Sons put together a 3-part documentary (below) about touring around the world and the experiences they've had along the way. It's definitely worth checking out:
These will be included on the Sigh No More Deluxe Edition, coming out December 6th (I don't know if that's internationally or not, hopefully!)

^Extremely deserving! They certainly make more sense getting nominated than Silversun Pickups an album era too late haha.

I agree that "White Blank Page" should be released, hopefully as the third single in North America!
Their album is #1 in New Zealand and in top 10 in the UK and the US. It probaby shipped over 2 million copies worldwide, especially selling very well in English-speaking countries like those three already mentioned above and Canada and Australia.

I'm all for either of those those two. "White Blank Page" sounds the most like a hit and "Thistle & Weeds" is imo the best song on the album. Both are good choices. I guess I'm rooting for "Thistle" but WBP is by all means a smart choice.

^ Yeah, they messed up their era in the UK by releasing "Roll Away Your Stone" there, so hopefully they don't make the same mistake here.

I too hope White Blank Page is next. It's #83 on Alternative iTunes (highest from album aside from LLM #3 and The Cave #5).

^^Ick, "Rolling Away Your Stone" is my least favorite song on the album. It's not terrible by any means, but wow is that a mistake.

This moved 99 - 68 on Billboard Hot 100 this week, probably from Sunday night's Grammy performance of "The Cave". "Little Lion Man" most likely would've charted Top 50 by now if it never went recurrent >:(

I've got a new favorite from Mumford & Sons. It's a Collaboration with Laura Marling and The Dharohar Project:
It's a redo of "To Darkness" with dueling banjos & sitars and I think it's awesome!
"To Darkness/Kripa"
I believe it's been released as a single. I doubt it will get any airplay in the U.S.

I might be the only person that likes "Roll Away Your Stone."
This song has really grown on me a lot this week. I've always liked it, but now I'm playing it all the time.

^ I like it alot!
And for the other guy that said "To Darkness/Kirpa" was a radio single, he's wrong. It, along with 3 other songs recorded during their visit to India, was released as an EP on iTunes.
