It also lists their songs in order of popularity, of which we can see that 'Take A Walk' is the most downloaded of their songs on ITunes, followed by 'Carried Away'. These two songs must be their most well-known songs, whereas the song which we are doing - 'Constant Conversations' is only number 7 on the top downloaded.
Official Facebook page

Official Twitter page
However, the Passion Pit Twitter account has far less of a following than their official Facebook page does. Their Facebook page has 1.3m likes whereas their Twitter page only has 203k followers. This may suggest that Passion Pit prefer to use Facebook as their main social networking website as opposed to most artists nowadays who would prioritise Twitter over Facebook.
