The French DJ and producer’s latest track, Lovers On The Sun, featuring US singer-songwriter Sam Martin, has gone straight in at Number 1 on the Official Singles Chart.

David said: “Wow, this is amazing! The UK has shown me so much love and support over the years, since I was an unknown DJ there. To be Number 1 with the first song off my next album is taking a little bit of the pressure off finishing it, which is what I’m doing now."

The star scored his first Number 1 as a lead artist back in 2008 with When Love Takes Over and has since topped the charts with Sexy Bitch (2009), Gettin’ Over You (2010) and Titanium (2012). He also helped create to further chart-toppers as a guest feature on Flo Rida’s Club Can’t Handle Me (2010) and as a producer on the Black Eyed Peas hit I Gotta Feeling (2009). To date, David has sold 9 million singles in the UK.

Meanwhile, US singer-songwriter Taylor Swift debuts at Number 4 with Shake It Off today following its surprise release on Monday (August 18), and after a full release this week, German house DJ Wankelmut and Emma Louise climb a massive 185 places to Number 5 with My Head Is A Jungle.
