Love Me Like You Do, which counts Max Martin (Britney Spears, Celine Dion), Savan Kotecha (Christina Aguilera , One Direction) and Ilya Salmanzadeh (Ariana Grande, Jessie J) among its writers, is lifted from the Fifty Shades Of Grey soundtrack and is Ellie’s first solo release since Beating Heart last summer.
The track has a combined chart sales figure over 77,000 at this midweek stage, taking the strongest lead of any single yet over reigning chart-topping juggernaut, Mark Ronson’s Uptown Funk FT Bruno Mars by nearly 50,000 copies.
Down one place to 3 today is Hozier’s Take Me To Church, followed by DJ/producer Mike Mago and Canadian synthpop group Dragonette with new entry Outlines at 4.
Rounding out today’s Top 5 is Meghan Trainor with Lips Are Movin (5).
New Entries
Irish rock band Kodaline are new at 34 with Honest. The track is the quartet’s first single from upcoming second studio album Coming Up For Air, which is set for UK release on Monday (February 9).
Elsewhere, following the cancellation of their US tour dates due to frontman Chester Bennington’s leg injury, Linkin Park’s 2004 collaboration with Jay-Z Numb/Encore re-enters the Top 40 at 33 today. The track previously peaked at Number 14 in 2004.
