I don't know what it is with this song. It should have left the top spot after the first week.
I Am A Stegosaurus
It shouldn't have got the top spot in the first place.

Great to see a real band at Number 1
Simeon Davenport
What do you mean "real band?" All bands are real bands!
PeteFromLeeds
As in a band that actually plays instruments, as opposed to a band like One Direction
Simeon Davenport
Maybe you should use a different term as opposed to "real bands" to mean a band that actually plays instruments. How about "playing band?"
I Am A Stegosaurus
God, I don't know what can possibly dethrone this at the moment but somethng had better do so soon. It had better not become the new Uptown Funk, and why do people even like it? It's boring, Lukas Graham can't sing and it sounds like a jack-in-the-box.

Jess Glynne's "Ain't Got Far to Go" is gonna become a single on the 26th of February, hopefully it can dethrone it.
I Am A Stegosaurus
Yeah, that's a good song.
