Jessie J embarrassed by her chart mix up

Jessie J has revealed that she was left soaking wet and embarrassed after prematurely celebrating her single Domino getting to Number 1.

Speaking to Jonathan Ross on his ITV 1 show on Saturday (February 4), Jessie said she was on holiday in Thailand when a fan tweeted her to say she was Number 1.

“[We were] sitting in our pyjamas by the pool, having a glass of wine. I went on Twitter and just read 'You're number one on iTunes' and so I freaked out and thought 'I'm gonna jump in the pool.' [I] jumped in the pool, realised I was a bit tipsy, [AND] couldn't swim!

“So I got out of the pool, put Domino on and was dancing by the pool and then one of my best friends said, 'Babe, Flo Rida's number one'," she continued. "I was Number 1 on the [iTunes] chart, not the Official Chart! So I was just standing there freezing cold, naked and I just said, 'Shall we just go to bed?'."

Thankfully, Jessie managed to get to Number 1 a few weeks later when Domino climbed to the top of the Official Singles Chart on January 15. Find out what she did to celebrate by watching our video interview with her below.

The only chart that counts

The Official Charts are the UK’s music industry standard. The Official Charts are compiled purely from actual sales data gathered across a wide range of retailers – not just one online store, or any individual chain of stores.

In total, we collect information from more than 6,000 UK retailers every single day - from everyone from HMV on the high street, to digital stores such as iTunes, Amazon, Play and 7Digital, to all the supermarkets, as well as independent record stores up and down the country.

Our research is the most extensive in existence and covers 99% of the total UK singles market and 98% of the UK albums market.

We also don’t include such things as airplay, online chatter or buzz. It is you, the music buyer, who decides who gets to become the Official Number 1.

Accept no imitations!

This year is the 60th anniversary of the Official Singles Chart – the chart which has been revealing to the nation who is Number 1, week in, week out since 1952, including the all-important Official Christmas Number 1.

You can access the Official Charts Top 100 singles and albums at www.theofficialcharts.com every Sunday from 7pm.
