The song was placed at number nine on NME's list of the top 50 singles of 2006.[2] and went on to later win the public vote for Best Track at the NME Awards 2007.[3] On the artwork for the single the title was given as "Wasted Little DJ's", which is grammatically incorrect; however, by the time the album was released, the mistaken apostrophe had been dropped and the track was listed as "Wasted Little DJs" by the label.[4]
