The song remained at the #1 position on the [[Alternative Songs|Billboard Alternative Songs]] chart for 17 nonconsecutive weeks, and has become the band's most successful song in the United States. The song was mixed by Mark 'Spike' Stent.<ref>http://www.soundonsound.com/sos/feb10/articles/it_0210.htm</ref> It was also the last [[United Kingdom|UK]] single to top an [[United States|American]] chart for the [[2000s in music|2000s]], according to the December 30, 2009 [[Nielsen BDS]] alternative chart, and also the first UK single to top an American chart for the [[2010s in music|2010s]]. Excerpts are used in the trailers for the 2010 [[Tom Cruise]]/[[Cameron Diaz]] spy comedy ''[[Knight and Day]]'', promotions for the US television series ''[[V (2009 TV series)|V]]'',featured as the track for the 2010 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show Finale, and the song is a playable track in ''[[Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock]]''. ==Background and composition== The title "Uprising" was first revealed on 3 July 2009, when the album's track listing was released sporadically on the band's [[Twitter]] page; the song was unveiled as the opening track of the album, preceding the [[title track]] "Resistance".<ref>{{cite news |url=http://muse.mu/news/article/414/the-resistance-the-tracklisting/ |title=The Resistance: The Tracklisting |publisher=[[Muse (band)|Muse]] |date=July 4, 2009 |accessdate=July 20, 2009 }}</ref> In a pre-release review, French media source ''JudeBox'' described the song as follows: {{quote|Matt Bellamy’s voice is more serious and academic than usual. However it is delivered in a similar vein: Conspiracy, Apocalypse … He announces a “union”, speaks of “victory” that “they do not control.” Sound is still very heavy and dense, accompanied by mounted synthesizers. The structure of the song is simple for once.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.muselive.com/index.php?m=single&id=4737 |title=The Resistance Mini-Review |publisher=Muselive |date=July 9, 2009 |accessdate=July 20, 2009 }}</ref>}} The song is often considered to be based on the hit [[Blondie (band)|Blondie]] song "[[Call Me (Blondie song)|Call Me]]",{{Citation needed|date=July 2010}} because of the thumping bass line and the occasional lead guitar riff (Blondie have in turn referenced this in their live performances by singing the lyrics of "Call Me" whilst covering the music of "Uprising", most notably at the [[RockNess]] festival in June 2010{{Citation needed|date=July 2010}}). However, "Uprising" can be argued to have more in common with the [[Black Sabbath (band)|Black Sabbath]] song "[[Children of the Grave]]" which Blondie's "Call Me" may have been based on.<ref>{{cite article|url=http://www.thatsongsoundslike.com/2010/12/29/blondie-vs-black-sabbath/|title=Blondie vs Black Sabbath |publisher=[[That Song Sounds Like]] |date=December 29, 2010 |accessdate=January 2, 2010 }}</ref> Many journalists have mentioned that "Uprising" is similar to the [[Doctor Who theme music|theme music]] for the British [[science fiction]] television series ''[[Doctor Who]]''.<ref>http://www.nme.com/blog/index.php?blog=10&p=6886&more=1&c=1</ref><ref>http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/chartblog/2009/09/muse_uprising.shtml</ref><ref>http://dogandpanda.com/production/muse_uprising.html</ref><ref>http://www.veidt.com/?p=1020</ref> Continuing the similarities, the drum line is extremely close to that of Sammy Hagar's Mas Tequila off his Red Voodoo album with the Waborita's. Also, parts of the synth line sound similar to [[Billy Idol]]'s "[[White Wedding (song)|White Wedding]]" and [[Gary Numan]]'s "[[Cars (song)|Cars]]". ==Release and reception== While "[[United States of Eurasia]]" was initially thought by the Muse fan community to be the first single due for release, Muse revealed, via their Twitter page, that it would in fact be "Uprising".<ref>{{cite web |url=http://twitter.com/musewire/status/2634252928 |title=To clarify!: Treasure hunt ... |publisher=[[Muse (band)|Muse]] ([[Twitter]]) |date=July 14, 2009 |accessdate=July 20, 2009 }} {{Dead link|date=October 2010|bot=H3llBot}}</ref> It was revealed in July 2009 that the band would perform at the [[2009 MTV Video Music Awards]].

After being released to radio in the United States, the single reached #1 on the [[Modern Rock Tracks|Billboard Hot Alternative Songs]] chart on September 9, 2009,<ref>http://www.americasmusiccharts.com/index.cgi?fmt=R3</ref> becoming Muse's 6th Top 10 single and first #1 on that chart, eventually spending 17 weeks at #1, becoming the second longest running #1 song ever on the chart. It became their first [[Billboard Hot 100]] single (and Top 40 single), peaking at #37 on the week ending October 3, 2009 and spent 20 weeks on the Hot 100. The song peaked at #9 on the [[UK Singles Chart]] and is the band's fourth top 10 single on that chart. The song was a huge success in Poland, going up to number 1 on the Singles Chart. "Uprising" won the Best Single award at the 2010 Music Producers Guild Awards in [[London]].<ref>[http://www.songfacts.com/detail.php?id=16299 Uprising Songfacts]</ref> == Uses == '''Sports''' *Used when the [[Sydney Roosters]] enter the field at their home games. *Used in the [[Calgary Flames]] intro video before every home game. *Frequently sung at [[San Diego State Aztecs]] basketball games.

At times, they are also seen performing inside a [[recreational vehicle|trailer]] which seems to be exploding. Through the window of a TV shop the band at one point looks at TVs with teddy bears on the screens; Matt smashes the window and TVs with his guitar. At the end of the video a group of [[teddy bear]]s (with small fangs, claws and reptilian eyes) rise up from the ground and start destroying the miniature city, only to fall down at the end of the video. This is said to pay homage to the climactic scene in ''[[Ghostbusters (film)|Ghostbusters]]'', one shot even mirroring the [[Stay Puft Marshmallow Man|Stay Puft Marshmallow Man's introduction]].<ref>http://www.rollingstone.com/rockdaily/index.php/2009/09/17/muse-nod-to-ghostbusters-in-explosive-uprising-video</ref> The video won "Best Special Effects" in the [[2010 MTV Video Music Awards]], but lost "Best Rock Video" to [[30 Seconds to Mars]]'s "[[Kings and Queens (30 Seconds to Mars song)|Kings and Queens]]". ==Track listing== All songs written by [[Matthew Bellamy]]; "Who Knows Who" co-written by [[The Streets|Mike Skinner]]. ;Digital download #"Uprising" &ndash; 5:03 ;7" vinyl <small>(WEA458)</small> #"Uprising" &ndash; 5:03 #"[[Who Knows Who]]" <small>(with [[The Streets|Mike Skinner]])</small> &ndash; 3:24 ;CD single <small>(WEA458CD)</small> #"Uprising" &ndash; 5:03 #"Uprising" <small>([[Does It Offend You, Yeah?]] remix)</small> &ndash; 4:00 ;muse.mu download #"Uprising" <small>(Live from Teignmouth 04.09.09)</small> &ndash; 5:37 ;Promo CD <small>(PR017302)</small> #"Uprising" &ndash; 4:08 ==Charts== {| class="wikitable sortable" !Chart (2009–2010) !Peak<br/>position |- |[[ARIA Charts|Australian Singles Chart]]<ref>{{cite web |url=http://australian-charts.com/showitem.asp?interpret=Muse&titel=Uprising&cat=s |title=Muse -
