Sydney duo Bag Raiders' classic tune Shooting Stars has re-emerged in recent weeks thanks to a weirdly magnificent meme and thanks to those 10-20 seconds of internet perfection, the track has cracked the US Billboard charts.
The song no doubt got America's attention with the 'Lady Gaga Superbowl dive' meme and because of that, Shooting Stars, which was released way back in 2009, has popped up on three separate dance charts.
It has made its way onto the Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart to place at #11, the Dance/Electronic Streaming Songs chart at #13 and jumped up 11 spots to come in at #7 on the Dance/Electronic Digital Song Sales chart.
As well as this, the guys' 2010 debut album has found its way onto the Top Dance/Electronic Albums chart to land at #15.
Not bad for a song that came in at #18 on the triple j Hottest 100 eight years ago.
If you aren't familiar with the memes going around right now, see below. And, you're welcome.
The Music has contacted Bag Raiders' reps for comment.
Meanwhile fellow Sydney artist Starley has debuted at #38 on the Dance/Mix Show Airplay chart with her hit track Call On Me, just days after making her US TV debut on Good Morning America.
