In February 2010, a campaign began on social networking site Facebook to get 'History Maker' into the UK charts for Easter. In response to the increasing support for the campaign, the decision was made to release the track as a single under the title 'History Makers'. The song was released for download on 28 March 2010. Two versions have been made available, the original studio version (featured on the album King of Fools and the 2009 compilation album History Makers), and a new live version taken from the band's upcoming final live album: 'Farewell Show'.
All profits generated from the single will go towards the charity CompassionArt a charity set up by Martin Smith the lead singer of the band which creates freedom from poverty.
It entered the midweek chart at number 6 on 31 March 2010 and reached number 4 on 4/4/10. but only spent a week in the Top 40 after dropping to No.61 the next week. It was number 1 in the Indie singles chart.

Famous quotes containing the words single and/or release:
“We saw many straggling white pines, commonly unsound trees, which had therefore been skipped by the choppers; these were the largest trees we saw; and we occasionally passed a small wood in which this was the prevailing tree; but I did not notice nearly so many of these trees as I can see in a single walk in Concord.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The steel decks rock with the lightning shock, and shake with the
great recoil,
And the sea grows red with the blood of the dead and reaches for his spoil—
But not till the foe has gone below or turns his prow and runs,
Shall the voice of peace bring sweet release to the men behind the
guns!”
—John Jerome Rooney (1866–1934)
