Everton may have been knocked off the top of the Premier League table by Leicester on Sunday evening, but they're still No 1 after fans took a 35-year-old club anthem to first place in the iTunes chart.
Following Saturday's 2-1 victory away at Crystal Palace, which made it three Premier League wins from three for Carlo Ancelotti's men, thrilled fans began buying Spirit of the Blues in their droves.
Available for 79p on iTunes, the club's official record from 1985 soon began shooting up the charts, rising more than 1,000 places in a matter of hours
Spurred on by a social media movement which saw fans put the catchy tune over the top of famous clips from TV shows and movies, the song officially displaced American popstar Miley Cyrus' Midnight Sky as the UK's No 1 tune on Sunday night.
Spirit of the Blues was released shortly after the Toffees completed a First Division title and European Cup Winners' Cup double during the 1984-85 season.
The song is still played before games at Goodison Park to this day - and it is now getting recognition on national radio after its rapid climb up the charts.
The popular tune was featured on Radio X's The Chris Moyles Show on Monday morning, with fans continuing to download it - and an album entitled Forever Everton - in huge numbers.
The club's official Twitter account even got involved on Saturday evening, dubbing the song over a video of South Americans Yerry Mina and Richarlison enjoying a dance class with local children on Merseyside last year.
