Thrift Shop checks out at Number 1

Macklemore and Ryan Lewis become only the second act in chart history to score a Number 1 with a self-released single.

Macklemore and Ryan Lewis hit Number 1 with self-released single, Thrift Shop.

The Seattle-based duo’s cheeky ode to the joy of second-hand clothes shopping, has to date racked up almost 157,000 UK sales, debuting in the Top 100 mid-January before climbing and climbing through the Top 40 to land the top spot today. Thrift Shop’s hilarious bargain-hunting video has also notched up 91 million YouTube views.

The zebra-clad US collaborators told OfficialCharts.com:

"We're honoured, and tremendously excited to see Thrift Shop at the top of the UK charts. It's incredible to see that our music has connected with people all over the world. We're so very humbled by all of the love and support we've received, and as independent artists, the support of great fans means everything"

Thrift Shop has also topped the charts in Australia, New Zealand and the US’s Billboard Hot 100.

British duos Disclosure and AlunaGeorge (the latter were nominated for the 2013 BRITs Critics’ Choice Award) jump 26 places to Number 2 with White Noise, giving each act their highest charting hit to date.
