Anne-Marie & Niall Horan reach Number 1 with 'Our Song'

Anne-Marie and Niall Horan's 'Our Song' has climbed to Number 1 on The Official Big Top 40.
Anne-Marie and Niall Horan's collaboration 'Our Song' has climbed to the top of the UK's biggest chart show.
The track spent the last two weeks inside the Top 5 but this Sunday jumped to Number 1 on The Official Big Top 40.
It's Anne-Marie's first Number 1 since 'Rockabye' with Clean Bandit in 2016 and Niall's first time as a solo artist, having topped the charts multiple times as part of One Direction.
The Official Big Top 40 is even to thank for the song coming about! Back in August, Anne-Marie appeared on the show and told host Will Manning that her dream collaboration would be.... Niall Horan.

But Anne-Marie's pronunciation of Niall's name wasn't quite up to scratch, leading to a funny back-and-forth on Twitter between the two singers.
Anne-Marie and Niall joined Will again on the show this Sunday and revealed that it the interaction led to them messaging each other, which then led to booking studio time to record a song.
The result was 'Our Song' and it's come full circle this week going to Number 1 on the show where it all started!
