The Killers’ ‘Mr Brightside’ overtakes Oasis’ ‘Wonderwall’ to smash huge UK singles record
Killers song ‘Mr Brightside’ has officially broken a huge singles record in the UK.As announced today (May 9) by Official Charts, the now-legendary 2004 track has taken over from Oasis’ ‘Wonderwall’ to become the UK’s official biggest single of all time yet to reach Number One.Released as part of their debut album ‘Hot Fuss’, which was shared 20 years ago this month, the song didn’t go on to top the charts, but did end up becoming an unmissable part of British culture.Initially it dropped in 2003 as the follow-up to the band’s Number Three charting single ‘Somebody Told Me’, and the synth-laden anthem peaked at a somewhat modest Number 10 slot on the charts. However, two decades on, has gone on to become the longest-running Top 100 hit in Official Chart history.According to new figures from the Official Charts Company, it has been shown that with UK sales and streams of 5.57million – including 1.066million sales and 530,340,000 streams – the song is now the UK’s most successful song of all time yet to reach Number One.It has also been shown to be the third biggest song of all time in the UK when sales and streams are combined.When it was first shared, it only spent a few weeks in the charts before dropping out, but fast forward to 2024 and the song has now spent 408 weeks (just under eight years) and counting in the Official Singles Chart Top 100 – holding the title of the most weeks on chart of any song in UK Official Chart history.On average, it is being streamed in the UK around 1.8million times per week, and there’s no sign of it slowing, either.

But if this is a partnership to be continued, they best get started on album two.”Following the tour, Gallagher said it would “be rude not to do another album” with Squire in the future.During a new interview with NME, Gallagher spoke about fans’ response to the pair’s first LP: “People have got high expectations and I’m the same, but after all the dust settles… it’s fucking 10 great songs with some great fucking musicians playing it and I’m singing decent.”Squire added: “It’s still a baby.” Gallagher agreed: “I always say that.”He continued: “The Stone Roses songs have been around for fucking years – everyone wanks over ‘em; Oasis songs have been around for years – everyone wanks over ‘em.
