Captain Tom Moore Smashes UK Number One Record at 99!
Captain Tom Moore, the 99-year-old Second World War hero, has soared to the top of the UK singles chart with a heartwarming cover of You’ll Never Walk Alone.
Oldest Artist Ever to Score a UK Number One
Teaming up with celebrated singer Michael Ball and the NHS Voices of Care Choir, Captain Tom’s touching rendition struck a chord nationwide. With this win, he’s now the oldest artist to claim the coveted number one spot — just days ahead of his 100th birthday.
Victory Over ‘Blinding Lights’
The duet edged out Canadian pop sensation The Weeknd’s smash hit Blinding Lights. In a classy show of support, The Weeknd took to Twitter urging fans to back Captain Tom’s single, helping him secure this historic chart-topper.
Iconic Song, Inspirational Story
The classic Rodgers and Hammerstein anthem, championed by Captain Tom and Michael Ball alongside the NHS choir, has become a beacon of hope and unity, perfectly timed for the veteran’s milestone birthday on April 30.
