Lewis Capaldi is the Official Singles Chart champion as Wish You The Best debuts at Number 1.
Gifting Lewis his fifth overall UK Number 1 single, and third in less than a year, this latest emotional ballad - taken from the Scottish crooner’s forthcoming second album Broken by Desire to Be Heavenly Sent - joins Someone You Loved (2019), Before You Go (2019), Forget Me (2022) and Pointless (2023).
With five Number 1 singles to his name, Lewis now ranks amongst some of the biggest names in UK chart history, including David Bowie, Beyoncé, Cheryl, All Saints and the Bee Gees. Wish You The Best enjoys a boost thanks to the release of a special CD single, with 16.8k of its chart units this week made up of the format. Due to the release of his acclaimed Netflix documentary How I’m Feeling Now, two former chart-toppers by Lewis also earn a place in this week’s chart; Forget Me (7) and Pointless (16).
