Gnarls Barkley bag record eighth week at number one

‘Crazy’ is the most successful single in over a decade

Gnarls Barkley have made chart history once again with ‘Crazy’ securing its eighth week as the UK’s number one single tonight (May 21).

The track – by duo Cee-Lo and Danger Mouse – is now the most successful single released in Britain in over a decade, beating Tony Christie’s ‘(Is This The Way To) Amarillo’ which clocked-up seven weeks at number one last year.

Wet Wet Wet’s chart topper ‘Love Is All Around’ is now ahead of Gnarls Barkley in recent chart history with its 15 weeks at number one in 1994.
