Ed Sheeran grabs this week's highest new entry on Official Singles Chart with The Joker and The Queen thanks to Taylor Swift remix
The track has seen a huge uplift thanks to a new single remix featuring Taylor and last week's BRITs performance. Plus new entries from Dove Cameron, Central Cee and Russ Millions.
Ed Sheeran claims the highest new entry on this week’s Official Singles Chart with The Joker and the Queen at Number 2.
The track receives a dramatic uplift following the release of a new single mix featuring none other than Taylor Swift, and Ed’s performance of the track at last week’s BRIT Awards
Several other tracks performed live at the O2 Arena last week also gain traction on the Official Singles Chart; including Sam Fender’s Seventeen Going Under rising one spot to Number 6, Ed’s own Bad Habits jumping to Number 18 after a live performance with Bring Me The Horizon and Adele’s I Drink Wine becoming this week’s highest climber, vaulting 52 places back into the UK Top 40 at Number 23.
