"Rather Be" which shattered a variety of long held records, including the most one-week plays ever at Spotify, a #1 in more than 13 countries, and the most one-week Shazams at Shazam.com has since entered the record books as the longest running #1 in the history of the UK's Official Streaming Chart, dominating the top spot for eight straight weeks and counting.
