The UK just wants to be part of your Symphony, Clean Bandit! The three-piece’s collaboration with Zara Larsson is this week’s Number 1, denying Ed Sheeran a 15th week at the top on the Official Singles Chart.

Symphony is Clean Bandit’s third Number 1, their second in a row after Rockabye, which spent nine weeks at the top and scooped the 2016 Christmas Number 1. It’s Zara Larsson’s first UK chart-topper, her previous highest peak being Number 2, with I Would Like.

Clean Bandit tell OfficialCharts.com: “We are all amazed to hear that Symphony is Number 1! We’ve been in the US the last few weeks touring with Zara Larsson and we got the chance to tell her it was Number 1. She was so excited!

“After everything thing that happened with Rockabye, we didn’t think it would be possible to replicate that but now we’re Number 1 again!”
