The Killers’ Mr Brightside turns into greatest single by no means to succeed in No.1 within the UK

It began out with a kiss… now The Killers’ Mr Brightside is third greatest music of all time within the UK

The Killers’ Mr Brightside has overtaken Oasis’ Wonderwall to change into the UK’s greatest single of all time to not attain No.1.

In keeping with the Official Charts Firm, Mr Brightside’s mixed UK gross sales and streams of 5.57 million (together with 1.066m gross sales and 530,340,000 streams), has made the trendy synth-pop anthem the third greatest music of all time within the UK.

Initially launched through the Lizard King label in 2003, the Las Vegas outfit’s debut had a restricted run of 500 CDs and did not dent the chart. Nonetheless, when The Killers’ second single, Any person Instructed Me, charted at No.28 in March 2004, Mr Brightside was reissued and subsequently peaked at No.10.

Now, having spent a complete of 408 weeks within the UK High 100, Mr Brightside is the longest-running High 100 hit in Official Chart historical past.

Future is looking me…

Lifted from the band’s debut studio album, Scorching Fuss (2004), the music tells the true story of frontman Brandon Flowers’ jealousy when he found his girlfriend dishonest on him.

Now a assured dancefloor filler at wedding ceremony events and indie discos throughout the UK, the Karaoke favorite has garnered multigenerational enchantment.

Martin Talbot, Chief Government, Official Charts mentioned: “The success of Mr Brightside is a triumph of extraordinary longevity, it’s a music which has lived with so many people all through the latest many years of our lives – and, for some, a whole lifetime.”

Reacting to the information, The Killers informed the Official Charts, “Thanks a lot to all our followers for making Mr Brightside the third greatest music of all time within the UK, and the largest ever to not have reached No.1; not but a minimum of!

“Mr Brightside has been utterly embraced by the British public and we will’t wait to have fun with you all on the highway. Thanks for supporting us. See you quickly!”
