Entering the Top 40 Singles Chart at number 21, Bastille’s latest song ‘Flaws’ has beaten the likes of Ne-Yo, Emeli Sande and Kanye West following its release earlier this week.
Taking to Twitter the band said: “Literally cannot believe we’re number 21 in the charts. Absolutely mental. Thank you so, so much to everyone that bought Flaws.”
On Wednesday Bastille treated their fans to a video of the ‘Flaws’ strings recording at the world famous Abbey Road studios. They also shared their delight and thanks on the same day when the midweek chart announced their entry at number 14.
