Congratulations to rising star Eliza Rose who secures a debut Number 1 single today, and becomes the first female DJ to top the Official Singles Chart in 22 years, since Sonique’s It Feels So Good in 2002.
Riding the crest of the dance revival currently underway on the UK charts, following a six-week climb, Eliza Rose and Interplanetary Criminal‘s B.O.T.A. (Baddest Of Them All) successfully un-seats LF SYSTEM’s long-standing chart-topper Afraid To Feel (2) to become the UK’s 1,400th Number 1 of all time.
The track, which has been gaining momentum across the festival season, tops the Official Singles Chart, the UK’s most-streamed song of the week, amassing 4.8 million streams.
Celebrating with Official Charts, Eliza Rose said "I just want to say thank you to everyone who listened, streamed and downloaded. This is The People's Rhythm and I feel like everyone came together to get this to Number 1. I never expected it in a million years. Thank you. It's fabulous!"
The UK’s 1,400th Number 1 lands just ahead of the 70th anniversary of the Official Singles Chart in November. It’s also seven years to the week since the 1300th Number 1 single – Rachel Platten’s Fight Song.
Other landmark Number 1s include, of course, the first ever Number 1, Here In My Heart by Al Martino, Help! by the Beatles (200), Don’t Cry For Me Argentina from Evita, performed by Julie Covington (400), and Lady Marmalade by Christina Aguilera, Lil’ Kim, Mýa and Pink (900).
