Mogwai's Stuart Braithwaite told The Independent of getting the top spot, "It’s not something we ever considered or prepared for. It’s just this massive lovely surprise."
He added, "It’s cool. Ghetts was on the news driving a tank through London and we thought ‘This is insane…’ I don’t know anyone who knows a tank."
