Standing in the Way of Control (song)

"Standing in the Way of Control" is a song by American indie rock band Gossip from their third studio album, Standing in the Way of Control. The remix by Le Tigre was released as Gossip's debut single in 2005 while the original was released as a single in 2006 and re-released on February 26, 2007. The 2006 issue had climbed up to number 13 on the UK Singles Chart in early 2007 on download sales, but the 2007 re-release was under a new catalogue number, meaning that their six-place climb to number seven on March 4 was listed as a new entry rather than as a climber. On the UK Indie Chart, it reached the top spot for one week.
