'Cause Uptown Funk gon’ give it to you!

We haven't seen a song stick so solidly to the top spot since Leona Lewis’ ‘Bleeding Love' eight years ago in 2007 - but Mark Ronson's Uptown Funk has made it into its eighth week as the UK’s number one single, and it doesn't seem to be getting annoying yet. Give it one more week perhaps.


It all started back in December when Fleur East gave a very shiny, pumped-up performance on The X Factor and everyone went mental trying to find out what this unheard song was?! Mark Ronson then sulked for a week because Fleur had supposedly sung it before it was even released, so he had to bring forward the official release - what a nightmare eh? Or perhaps a blessing in disguise, as this got everyone talking, singing and downloading, so much so it took the number one spot off poor old Ben Haenow, and has been standing firm ever since.

Although Bruno Mars and his posse of other 5ft 4in men have racked up over 150 million views of Uptown Funk on YouTube, we've been enjoying the parodies and most importantly, the karaoke version. If you haven’t tried it yet, it’s a GREAT karaoke song. Trust us, it’s tried and tested here at Lucky Voice HQ.

So we think Ronson and Bruno have got Fleur East, Barack Obama and a random teacher at a high school in Dallas to thank for their long reign at the top...





Ellie Goulding's 'Love Me Like You Do' looks like it's finally going to take over this week, or could it be Rihanna, Kanyé and Macca with 'FourFiveSeconds'? If you haven't seen the video yet, it's worth a watch - McCartney's looking oddly cool.
