British girl group Little Mix is spending their second week on top of the Official UK Singles Chart with their song, ‘Black Magic.’
According to contactmusic.com, the group is now the first girl group to top the charts for more than a single week in eight years. The Sugababes last held this spot with their single, ‘About You Now,’ in 2007.
“Black Magic,” is Little Mix’s third number one single after ‘Cannonball’ in 2011 and ‘Wings’ in 2012. The newest song is the group’s first release from their second album, Get Weird, which is set to be released this November.
The group said on the success of their single, “We’re super-duper excited to be number one with ‘Black Magic’ - we never thought we’d see this day again. Thank you to all the fans...you did this!”
This wasn’t the only exciting news for Little Mix this weekend, with member Jesy Nelson getting engaged to her boyfriend Jake Roche, lead singer of the band Rixton last Sunday.
The two had help from singer Ed Sheeran when he came on stage after Little Mix’s rehearsal at Manchester Arena and sang the couple’s song, ‘Tenerife Sea.’ According to Key 103, 24-year-old Nelson said the moment turned out to be a bit of a blur.
“To be honest it was all a bit of a blur. I thought we’d finished sound check and then lo and behold, old Ed walks on. I had my back turned to him and the girls were like ‘Jess, Jess’ and then I turned around and he sang mine and Jake’s song, ‘Tenerife Sea.’ And as soon as he sand that, I just balled.”
