BOTH Israel's winning entry and the UK's offering at the Eurovision Song Contest have been left behind by Motherwell's Scottish Cup final song.
Up The Well, by The Banter Thiefs, was released today, and has already shot to 18th on the iTunes download charts.
The track is ahead of Toy by Netta and Storm by SuRie. Other notable artists the Motherwell fans are charting above einclude Selena Gomez, Justin Timberlake and Cardi B.
The four Motherwell fans recruited the help of Chris Cadden, Liam Grimshaw, Richard Tait, Cedric Kipre, David Turnbull, Barry Maguire and Jordan Armstrong to record their version of Up The Well.

The band, who're hoping to inspire their team to cup final success against Celtic on Saturday, asked supporters to help provide backing vocals.
Band member Derek Watson told our sister paper the Evening Times: "We really wanted to encapsulate what was going on in Motherwell right now and capture the real feel good factor about the club.
"We didn't want to make it about us especially when it really feels like everyone is in this together.
"So, we wanted to make the song as inclusive as possible and appeal to everyone at the club."
Their ambition hasn't been satisfied yet though – the campaign is on to get the track to the top spot.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
