One Direction’s Drag Me Down lands at Number 1 and breaks Official Charts record

One Direction make a glorious return to the Official Singles Chart today as Drag Me Down not only enters straight in at Number 1, but sets a new streaming record.

The group’s first single as a quartet, following the departure of Zayn Malik in March, debuts at the top of this week’s tally and earns the highest first-week streams for a single ever in the UK, racking up 2.03 million plays in its opening week across chart-reporting streaming services such as Spotify, Deezer, Apple Music and more.

Drag Me Down is One Direction’s fourth Number 1 on the Official Singles Chart; following What Makes You Beautiful (2011), Little Things (2012) and One Way Or Another (2013).
