Lukas Graham’s 7 Years wins a second week at Number 1: ‘We’re surprised, ecstatic, exultant!’
Lukas Graham continue their reign over the Official Singles Chart as 7 Years notches up a second week at Number 1.
The Danish quartet racked up 134,000 combined sales (including 5.18 million streams) to hold on to this week’s top spot – almost 30,000 more than their chart sales total last week.
Lukas told OfficialCharts.com:“We’re surprised, ecstatic, vibrant and exultant about the success of 7 years! It’s very satisfying when you see your song at the top of the charts. 7 Years seems to have attracted a lot of age groups – people seem to be seeing their own lives in the song and it’s great to see so many people reacting in that way to it.”
