The reign continues for Clean Bandit’s “Rockabye (featuring Sean Paul & Anne-Marie).” The smash earns a seventh week atop the official UK singles chart.

In topping this week’s chart, “Rockabye” moreover earns the honor of being the UK’s official “Christmas #1.”

“To have been Number 1 for seven weeks is something amazing in its own right that we are all incredibly proud of, but to now be Christmas Number 1 is mind-blowing,” said Clean Bandit, per the Official Charts company. “It’s something we never imagined would happen with Rockabye when we were writing and recording it. Thanks to everyone who has made this happen! We hope you all have a Merry Christmas and New Year!”

“Rockabye” joins only a handful of songs that were already #1 on the chart prior to becoming the Christmas #1.

Other key movers on this week’s chart include Rag’n’Bone Man’s “Human” rising to #2, Little Mix’s “Touch” jumping to #4, and Zara Larsson’s “I Would Like” elevating to #6.
