AF's EN (this is linkjacking)

Arcade Fire - the music band - has come out with a new single, "Everything Now". It is a catchy track, which is likely to get more play.

However, it isn't famous, as in the sense of indexing. There is no direct jump to the new single's page on an authoritative source like Wikipedia, or in other words, the Wikipedia page doesn't show up in its search results on the big G. The search engine's irrelevant weighing of the time dimension, and looking for backlinks, has resulted in a recent emergent fad be buried in inaccessibility.

What's worse, is the results push in a 2005 single "Everything Now!" in the most literal result which will confuse the seeker.

Even the phrase "arcade fire everything now" leads to a smorgasbord of live entities, or to be seen as insufficient knowledge sources, but not to the song's Wikipedia page - yes, there is one.
