Popular Everton song Spirit of the Blues has reached no.1 in the iTunes chart.
The recording remains a firm favourite at Goodison Park and gained fresh prominence on social media due to a series of supporters’ viral videos.
Fans dubbed the 1985 terrace anthem over various movie clips and internet memes as Carlo Ancelotti’s side enjoyed a 100 per cent start to the season.
Spirit of the Blues climbed a remarkable 1,053 places on Sunday to dislodge Miley Cyrus’ ‘Midnight Sky’ in top spot for the biggest digital download.
Merseyside songwriters Kenny Parry and Billy Kinsley penned the effort recorded at Kirkby’s Amazon Studios during the club’s mid-1980s heyday.
“I was sat at home on Sunday not feeling great, then I got a call from Billy asking if I wanted some good news,” Parry told evertonfc.com.
“He told me we were number one. I didn’t believe him. I am floating now.
“It is surreal and difficult to take in. It has been good news for the family.
“I lost my wife seven years ago, we were together since the days of The Cavern Club and were soulmates.
“It is a little lift from the sorrow for all of us. It has been lovely.
“Janice would be made up with what’s happening. I am loving it, it is a reason to live. It might not last long but while it does I am riding it.”
