Ever since the Chicago Cubs ended their 108-year title drought, the team's anthem, "Go, Cubs, Go," has been played nearly everywhere. And thanks to all of that Cubs love, the catchy song has made it onto the Billboard charts for the first time since it was released in 1984.
According to Billboard, downloads of the song increased by 125 percent in the week following the Cubs' World Series win. In the same tracking week, the anthem totaled 2.5 million streaming plays, a 110 percent increase. The song enters the Pop Digital Song Sales chart (dated Nov. 19) at No. 21.

With the song traditionally played after every Chicago home win, as long as the Cubs carry over their winning ways to 2017, we'll be hearing this song for a while.
