Gary Barlow tops the chart with jubilee song

Gary Barlow has topped the UK singles and album chart with his diamond jubilee work.
The official diamond jubilee song, ‘Sing’, which was co-written by Barlow and Andrew Lloyd Webber sold 142,000 copies this week and shot up the chart to No.1. The song features a selection of performers from the Commonwealth countries and was performed at the Buckingham Palace concert, in front of the Queen, last Monday.

“It’s been such a great week, it would take something very special to top it. I’d like to say thanks on behalf of about 200 people as we’ve got a massive cast on this record. I love collaborating with other artists and being able to put them all on one stage the other night was such an honour for me. It’s something I’ll never forget.” – Gary Barlow speaking to Official Charts Company.

Gary Barlow & The Commonwealth Band also took the No1. slot in the album chart this week.
