"1901" is the 1st single to be taken from Phoenix's Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix which is the French band's 4th studio album.
Today, it reached top 50 on Mediabase Alternative:
59 50 PHOENIX 1901 181 150 31 0.639
25 stations playing.
Not sure if it ever went for adds.

MTV has been playing this (yeah, really) in their early morning "AMTV" slot. I can vouch for that. Although I changed the channel because I don't care enough to put Phoenix on my musical radar just yet. (I've been aware of their presence for 4 years.) EDIT: Well then. With this on Sunday night's official update, I'll have to acknowledge their every single from now on.

Sorry, but these guys are just boring. If they were American people would say the same. Maybe it's because I've heard it before, from a lot more catchier/interesting bands. Gave it a shot because I thought they could be up my alley.

The only one by these guys I really like is Girlfriend. I heard it on some Alt station once at my friends house.

After a few listens it's grown on me to be pretty good. I actually find it pretty catchy. I remember listening to a few songs a couple years ago and wasn't that impressed but this one has slowly grabbed the attention meter (get your minds out of the gutter!!!)

I'm learning to be funny to have a chance....

Being funny is incredibly underrated. I don't consider myself to be good looking and I'll probably never be even close to rich during my lifetime. However, I am in a very happy relationship and one of the main reasons why my girlfriend has told me that she's not running for the hills is because she finds me to be funny. I'd assume she also likes that even though I'm an asshole sometimes that ::sighs:: I guess I'm a nice guy, but FUNNY is the keyword here. So, with that being said, try designing a comedy act and you should have the females all over you in no time.
The more you know ;)

This song will eventually go Top 10, it deserves to. The album is fantastic as well.

Hard to predict, but with bands like Kings Of Leon, Cage The Elephant, and Manchester Orchestra all going top 10, this definitely could

I think their career might have already peaked... the local Hot AC station just played it now.

I heard a song of theirs from a previous album and thought it was better than this. Maybe they have better stuff than this.

The bullet is now +88. So much for me bitching about the lack of an adds date.

They're all bands that in another day and age would not even dream of charting on Alternative and yet here they are. They are surprises.

They are surprises. yes that's exactly what I meant, no they do not sound alike but they are all heavily alternative-leaning, and this is yet another pure alternative influenced band, so why not have a shot at the top 10?

I'm surprised this isn't in the Top 10, for all the buzz it got and the fact that it made the charts three months ago. But then again, alternative radio almost looks like AC at times.

I've given up on trying to predict the chart. I think there are just too many discrepancies between what stations consider "alternative".
