After winning hearts, minds and the BBC Sound Of 2015 poll, Years & Years have secured their first No.1 single with 'King'.
The sprightly pop trio - who are already firm Gigwise favourites - entered the charts at No.1 with sales of over 100,000 copies.
“I don’t think any of us thought we’d be No.1,” Olly Alexander told The Official Charts Company. "No one told us it would be No.1. They said it wouldn’t get to No.1, but it did!”
