Flo Rida scores midweek No.1 single in the UK with 'GDFR'

Rapper Flo Rida is on course to land his first UK chart-topper in almost three years with new single 'GDFR', which shot straight in at No.1 today (March 11) during the midweek update.

The song, which features Sage The Gemini, is currently 8,000 copies ahead of its nearest competitor, which is the reigning Official Singles Chart No.1 'King' by Years & Years (No.2). Usher has a brand new entry at No.3 this afternoon with Juicy J collaboration 'I Don't Mind' and this year’s official Red Nose Day single, Sam Smith’s 'Lay Me Down' ft. John Legend, is at No.5.

Mumford & Sons are set to land their first Top 40 single in nearly three years with 'Believe', which has debuted at No.27, girl group G.R.L. are on track for their second Top 40 hit with 'Lighthouse' at No.31, and English MC Stormzy - who came third in this year’s BBC Sound Of poll - is new in at No.33 with 'Know Me From Him'.
