Avicii’s Wake Me Up is UK’s most listened to track for sixth week

The British public’s love affair with superstar Swedish DJ Avicii shows no sign of letting up!

Avicii’s Wake Me Up is STILL the UK’s most listened to track! The superstar Swedish DJ has held onto the Number 1 spot on the Official Streaming Chart for a sixth week in a row.

The Official Streaming Chart was launched in May 2012, and is the first chart to rank audio streams from both ad-funded and subscription streaming services in the UK (including Spotify, Deezer, Napster, and Blink Box Music among others).

Wake Me Up is now the joint second longest running Number 1 (with Robin Thicke’s Blurred Lines) in the history of the Official Streaming Chart. The record for longest running Number 1 is seven weeks, which is jointly held by Daft Punk’s Get Lucky and Bastille’s Pompeii.

Avicii’s track also spent three weeks at Number 1 on the Official Singles Chart before being knocked off the top spot by Miley Cyrus’s We Can’t Stop. Wake Me Up is the fastest selling single of 2013 so far after clocking up a massive 266,500 copies during its first week on sale. It is also the fifth biggest selling single of 2013, selling 830,000 copies in the UK to date.

Meanwhile, Ellie Goudling’s Burn climbs two places to Number 2, Blurred Lines and We Can’t Stop fall one place each to Number 3 and 4, respectively. The Cedric Gervais remix of Lana Del Rey’s Summertime Sadness climbs three places to Number 5.

Three new entries on this week’s Official Streaming Chart: Naughty Boy’s Lifted FT Emeli Sande debuts at Number 29, while Sean Paul’s Other Side Of Love is new in at Number 33 and Rizzle Kicks’ Lost Generation enters at 89.
