Anybody know what's up with Moonchild's youtube channel?

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCBSAJ-B8QNfds8zAkjn51A

One song, The List, has 18 million views, and most of the rest of the channel is below 1 million. Did that song get "algorithmed" or promoted by a celebrity or something? It's a great track, but I don't quite get why it's so far ahead of the rest of their catalogue.

I think it might have been because of their tiny desk performance. People must have looked it up which the algorithm picked up on?

So like a perfect storm of Tinydesk + algo weirdness. I guess it sounds plausible.
