Alex also sees his first Top 40 single Carry You Home lift four to a new peak of Number 20, and Burning Down up five to a new high of Number 28.
Speaking exclusively to Official Charts, Alex Warren says:
“Thank you to the UK for the Number 1 single?of the week, I promise I won’t let you down – I’ll make you proud!”
