Lewis Capaldi Claims His Sixth Number 1 Single As Survive Tops The Charts To Crown A Momentous Comeback

After two years away from the spotlight, global superstar Lewis Capaldi is well and truly back as he caps his return by topping the charts yet again with a monumental sixth number 1 single Survive, to become the fastest selling single of 2025.

Todays success also sees Lewis biggest ever opening week sales for a single, surpassing both Sabrina Carpenter & Lady Gaga for this years biggest opening week singles, and he now joins esteemed company with the likes of Beyonce, Britney Spears, Drake, Lady Gaga & Queen to achieve six UK number 1 singles, beating David Bowie, Katy Perry, The Police & more.

Lewis may be back in the charts with his new single, but has also been back in the headlines after his surprise and magnificent return to Glastonbury Festival and, this September, back on tour in arenas across the UK - which has seen unprecedented pre-sale demand already..

A headliner-sized Pyramid Stage crowd embraced the emotion of Lewiss emergence into the sunshine for a powerful, hit-laden half-hour. "I just wanted to come and finish what I couldnt finish last time," said Lewis. That he emphatically did, with his soaring vocals leading the crowd through classics, as well as a first live showing for Survive, and a unifying performance of Someone You Loved. There wasnt a dry eye in the house.

Lewis Capaldis second album, Broken By Desire To Be Heavenly Sent, cemented his status as a chart-topping powerhouse. The record delivered three UK number 1 singles - Pointless, Wish You The Best and the Platinum-certified Forget Me, Critically acclaimed, the album topped the UK charts, moving 95,000 units in its first week, outselling the entire Top 10 combined and even surpassing the debut-week sales of his debut album Divinely Uninspired To A Hellish Extent.

In April 2023, Capaldi released his raw and deeply personal Netflix documentary, How Im Feeling Now, which quickly became the platforms most-watched film upon release and earned a GRAMMY® nomination. This continued success follows his groundbreaking 2019 debut, Divinely Uninspired To A Hellish Extent, which became the UKs top-selling album in both 2019 and 2020. The album produced two UK number 1 singles, garnered multiple BRIT Awards, and included the global smash Someone You Loved, now 10x Platinum, the UKs most streamed song of all time & the worlds fourth highest ever streamed song.

After weathering the kind of storm that few can prepare for, Lewis Capaldi has returned with a renewed sense of purpose. As he marks a new era, Lewis isnt just surviving, hes returning even stronger, heart wide open, and ready to step out again.
