The new Google bombing?

Is it just me, or does anyone else find it odd that the song “I’m Gonna Be (500 Miles)” by the Proclaimers is currently number ten on the iTunes Top Ten Songs alongside more obvious songs like OutKast’s “Hey Ya!” and “Stacy’s Mom” by Fountains of Wayne? Is there a big Benny and Joon revival underway that nobody told me about?

    That is kinda… unusual. Not a bad song though.

    Only number 10…that is odd.

    For what it’s worth, it had briefly moved up to number nine as of last night, but it’s back at ten now. ;)

    Yeah…a little surprising, but everyone I know around where I live is pretty fond of the song so I guess it’s just a nationwide favorite.

    If I remember correctly, its one of the songs in a compilation that Apple was hyping on the front page of the music store for a couple of weeks.
    It’s essentially the digital version of the Billboard CDs that just lump a bunch of popular songs together.
