How Everton Fans got ‘Spirit of the Blues to the top of the iTunes chart

The popular Everton song ‘Spirit of the Blues’ got to the top of the iTunes chart on Sunday night after their fans had some fun on Social Media. Twitter use FinKitch started putting the song over classic film scenes and the process soon went viral amongst Blues supporters. Everton beat Crystal Palace on Saturday to continue their 100% winning start to the season, with Carlo Ancelotti capturing the imagination of the Everton fans once more. The campaign has even been picked up by Everton’s official Twitter account, who have posted a video of Richarlison and Yerry Mina visiting a school and dancing with the kids, now to the tune of the iTunes chart-topping Singing the Blues.
