MARK RONSON’S “Uptown Funk” has reached the 1 million sales mark, 10 weeks after it was first released, according to Official Charts Company data.
The hit single, by Ronson and Bruno Mars, becomes the 158th track to reach the million mark in British charts history.
Ronson said it was “an amazing milestone to be in this club with all these massive superstars.”
Earlier this month the single became the most-streamed track ever in the United Kingdom.
“Uptown Funk” — which was rush-released after it was performed by “X Factor” runner-up Fleur East in December — achieved 2.56 million streams in a single week.
However, its reign at the top of the charts appears to be over after Ellie Goulding’s “Love Me Like You Do” held on to the top spot for a second week.
The song, from the soundtrack to the “Fifty Shades of Grey” film, became the U.K.’s most listened to track on streaming services this week, notching up 2.25 million audio streams.
Also the fastest-selling single of the year so far, “Love Me Like You Do” is Goulding’s second No. 1.
Hozier’s “Take Me to Church” climbed back to No. 2 — after 21 weeks on the chart — with “Uptown Funk” rounding out the top three.(SD-Agencies)
