Gotye has finally taken the UK by storm and climbed to the top of the Official Top 40 tonight (February 12) with his single 'Somebody That I Used To Know'. 

Radio 1's Reggie Yates congratulated him live on air and he was audibly impressed by the fantastic news, and said: "Oh wow! Good time to be in the country! I'm actually just out with my bandmates in London doing some record shopping."

When asked about the impact the song has had on the British public, he added: "It's kind of... it continues to confound my expectations. It feels a bit unreal! I'm completely confident that whatever I put out next off this record won't be as big as this song!"

"This song is, for whatever reason, the one that stands head and shoulders above on this record." 

David Guetta's 'Titanium' is now at No.2 and Will.i.am's 'T.H.E. (The Hardest Ever)' has debuted respectably at No.3. Madonna's 'Give Me All Your Luvin'' has entered at No.37 despite her high profile performance of the song at the 2012 Super Bowl.
