I'm wondering too and I thought "maybe it's the Superbowl" again and yes that's it!

Watch

I knew it would be #1. This was climbing so fast on Monday that I told myself "It will be number 1"

I love this song!!! 8-)

Number 1 on US iTunes. I'm thinking this could be up there as 2012 best sellers along with Gotye. Chart Music is looking better for this year.

How did that happen? And why all of a sudden

?

EDIT: Set Fire To The Rain, Stronger and now We Are Young at No. 1: Could we seriously get a break from generic party/club songs

Very pleased this is smashing, it's such an anthem. 8-)

The snippets from their new album on iTunes sounds really good, love the touch they put on their songs!

So happy this is doing so well in the US now! Brilliant song.

Wonder if this can be a hit in the UK aswell.

Saw this on iTunes and randomly bought it after listening to the preview. Had no idea it was connected to so many things such as Glee.

It's such an amazing song!

Who knew that Glee would make this such a huge hit!

by **cristy** » Sun Feb 12, 2012 2:13 pm

Okay, so Glee got this to #12 on iTunes after the episode aired, it then settled in the lower top 50 for a while. Then, the Superbowl ad got this to #1.
:wink:

Songs on Glee get just a temporary boost, 1-2 weeks, this got to the top because of the Superbowl.

BUT.. Without the Glee exposure would the song really have been picked for the Superbowl Ad... Hmmmmm ;-)

Maybe.

Who knows? Commercials often use lesser known songs, but there's no way for us to know for sure.
I was just saying that this sudden success of the song isn't a direct result of it being covered on Glee. :wink:

Why must it go to number 1? :lol:

I wanted this to remain a secret only I knew of, now it's going to blow up and become famous.

It's the first song to give me goosebumps since Florence's "Shake It Out", they both have such a massive, golden sound. This song is like My Chemical Romance's "Welcome to the Black Parade" crossed with a Ryan Tedder ballad but made 10x more amazing.

Can't believe a song this good is #1 on US iTunes

by **nas4life123** » Fri Feb 24, 2012 5:38 am

very deserved no. 1

by **shrimpy_boy11** » Fri Feb 24, 2012 11:46 am

The lyrics right at the beginning of the very song are some of the best!

Give me a second I
I need to get my story straight
My friends are in the bathroom
getting higher than the empire state
