Everton knock Miley Cyrus off the perch

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.

The Liverpool club are one of the surprise frontrunners of the English Premier League with three wins from their opening three matches.

They currently sit second behind Leicester City on goal difference after victories over Tottenham, West Bromwich Albion and Crystal Palace to begin the season.

Following Saturday's 2-1 victory away at Crystal Palace 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.
