Lilly Wood and German electronic music producer Robin Schulz have climbed an astonishing 114 places in the singles charts, now claiming the top spot with Schulz’s remix of ‘Prayer in C’. The remix which is a re-release of the original 2010 track has knocked David Guetta’s ‘Lovers On The Sun (feat. Sam Martin)’ down to third place.
Meanwhile, Maroon 5’s latest single ‘Maps’ debuts in second place. The single features on the band’s recent album V, which also includes ‘Animals’ and a collaboration with Gwen Stefani titled ‘My Heart is Open’ co-written by singer-songwriter Sia.
Following its recent release, Sam Smith’s ‘I’m Not The Only One’ has climbed eight places putting it in the top 10. The single is accompanied by a video featuring Glee‘s Dianna Agron and The Mindy Project’s Chris Messina which portrays the song’s theme of infidelity.
Elsewhere, Taylor Swift’s ‘Shake It Off‘ and Ed Sheeran’s ‘Don’t’ remain in fourth and eighth place respectively. New entry ‘Rari WorkOut’ by Lethal Bizzle featuring JME and Tempa T enters the singles chart in 11th position.
