Lewis Capaldi Scores First U.K. No. 1 Since 2023 with Comeback Single ‘Survive’

Lewis Capaldi has scored his first U.K. No. 1 single since 2023 with his comeback track “Survive.”

On the Official Singles Chart dated July 4, the Scottish singer-songwriter is back at the top with his sixth chart-topping single. Capaldi previously hit the summit with “Someone You Loved” (2018), “Before You Go” (2019), “Forget Me” (2022), “Pointless” (2022), and “Wish You The Best” (2022).

The Official Charts Company reports that by shifting 68,500 chart units in its opening week (including over 4 million streams), “Survive” surpasses Capaldi’s previous 56,000-unit best, earned with 2022’s “Forget Me,” to secure the feat.

Capaldi made a stunning comeback last weekend at Glastonbury Festival (June 27) with his first large live show in two years. He performed on the Pyramid Stage, returning to the place where he was forced to abandon his set following vocal issues back in 2023. Capaldi performed “Survive” during the 30-minute set, and said that returning to “finish” the performance was his main goal while he worked through mental health issues; a U.K. and Ireland tour is set to take place later this year.

MK’s collaboration with Chrystal “Dior” holds steady at No. 2, while Sabrina Carpenter’s “Manchild” falls from the top spot to No. 3. The latter has spent two non-consecutive weeks at the summit since its release in early June.

Ravyn Lenae’s “Love Me Not” continues its impressive longevity by holding firm at No. 4, and Chappell Roan’s “Pink Pony Club” closes the week at No. 5. Olivia Dean’s “Nice to Each Other” climbs to a new peak of No. 15, while PinkPantheress enjoys a post-Glasto boost for her song “Illegal,” which rises 14 places to No. 22.
