Lukas Graham’s '7 Years' spends second week at No.1

Lukas Graham continue their reign over the Official Singles Chart this week as '7 Years' notches up a second week at No.1.

The Danish quartet racked up 134,000 combined sales (including 5.18 million streams) to hold on to this week’s top spot – almost 30,000 more than their total last week.

Frontman Lukas Graham told the OfficialCharts.com: “We’re surprised, ecstatic, vibrant and exultant about the success of 7 years! It’s very satisfying when you see your song at the top of the charts. 7 Years seems to have attracted a lot of age groups – people seem to see their own lives in the song and it’s great to see so many people reacting in that way to it.” 

'7 Years' holds off Zayn’s 'Pillowtalk', which logs a second week at No.2, Rihanna’s 'Work' hits at new peak at No.3, Jonas Blue & Dakota’s 'Fast Car' is at 4, and Shawn Mendes’s 'Stitches' completes the Top 5.

'Lush Life' by Zara Larsson jumps seven spots to No.9 this week, marking her first UK Top 10 as a headline artist. The Swedish singer topped our first ever Official Trending Chart earlier this week, which tracks the hottest new songs making an impact in the UK.

Following the tragic deaths of all four members of indie band Viola Beach - and their manager Craig Tarry - last weekend, the band’s track 'Swings & Waterslides' debuts at No.11. Tributes have been pouring in all week for the up and coming Warrington band, with stars including Kasabian, Liam Gallagher and The Stone Roses all urging the public to get the song into this week’s Top 40.

Further down the tally, Coldplay’s 'Hymn For The Weekend' leaps six places to hit a new peak at 17, Twenty One Pilots’s 'Stressed Out' moves from 34 to No.21, and Adele’s 'When We Were Young' zooms ten places to a new high of 23.
