While topping the Norwegian, Swedish and Finnish iTunes lists last week, "The Fox" was in the top ten on American iTunes on Monday. A great surge came after the talented brothers performed on the Ellen DeGeneres Show on NBC as well at the iHeartRadio Music Festival in Las Vegas last week. They are scheduled to perform on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon, airing October 9.
The Norwegian record production company Stargate is behind the song and video. They have previously produced music for artists such as Rihanna, Katy Perry, Selena Gomez and Beyoncé. The FOX network has also been using the song in their own promotion.

After launching The Fox as a promo for the third season of their talkshow I kveld med Ylvis (Tonight with Ylvis), Bard and Vegard Ylvisåker’s song has got almost 50 million hits on YouTube. The song also reached the Billboard Top 100 in USA. The duo, which signed a contract with Warner Music before they started the U.S. promotion, will continue with their talk show in Norway. I kveld med Ylvis airs twice per week on Norwegian broadcast channel TV Norge.
