George Ezra Shotgun is biggest hit of the summer

Singer-songwriter George Ezra’s chart-topping single Shotgun was the biggest song of the summer, according to official UK charts data.

From 1 June to 31 August, Ezra’s track accumulated 820,000 combined sales, made up of 67 million audio streams, 24 million video streams and 168,000 downloads.

Shotgun fended off competition from One Kiss by Scottish DJ Calvin Harris and singer Dua Lipa, which spent eight weeks at number one. The club favourite logged 608,000 combined sales across the three-month period.

In a video message recorded for the Official Charts Company, Ezra said: “Thank you very much to all of you that have come and seen us live, played the song, shared it with your friends and family and sung along with us.”
