Avicii storms to #1 on this weeks Music Week Pop Charts

Thursday 18th July 2013

The might Avicii is on a roll and his enormous new single is blowing up everywhere including clubland where "Wake Me Up" moves up to the new #1 on the Music Week Pop Chart!

Commentary from Alan Jones "The highest new entry on both charts last week, Avicii's Wake Me Up! explodes to the top of the Upfront and Commercial Pop charts, while also thundering to a massive number one debut on the OCC sales chart.

Serviced only in Avicii's own original and extended mixes and featuring uncredited vocals from Aloe Blacc, Wake Me Up! leaps 11-1 Upfront to become Avicii's sixth number one in less than three years.  Born Tim Bergling, Avicii first topped the chart in October 2010, with Seek Bromance under the abbreviated name Tim Berg. In September 2011, he topped the chart for the first time as Avicii, with Leona Lewis collaboration Collide, and three months later he was number one again as Avicii, with Levels. He then joined Nadia Ali on her number one remake of iiO's club classic Rapture. Most recently, I Could Be The One - his collaboration with Dutch DJ Nicky Romero - topped the chart in February.

Wake Me Up! leaps 5-1 on the Commercial Pop chart to become Avicii's third number one there, following Levels and I Could Be The One"

Well done to Avicii and the guys at PRMD/Positiva.
