Performers from the One Love Manchester concert, including Coldplay, Liam Gallagher, Black Eyed Peas and host Ariana Grande, are experiencing a huge uplift in sales and streams since the benefit concert, OfficialCharts.com can confirm.
Ariana, who joined several acts on stage throughout last Sunday’s event, continues to see her music climb the chart this week.

Sales and streams of the track are up 53% compared to the same period last week (Friday to Monday), according to Official Charts Company data.
Three more songs performed by the star have seen a significant boost since the show. Break Free has re-entered the Top 100 at Number 63 in today’s sales flash, a combined sales and streams boost of 139% compared to the same period last week.
Sales and streams of her debut single The Way are up 577%, sending it to Number 81 today, while My Everything, which she sang with the Parrs Wood High School Choir, is at 94 - a 141% uplift since last week.
