Sam Ryder's SPACE MAN becomes the Number 1 Trending Song in the country today, following its record-breaking success at Eurovision.
SPACE MAN finished in second place overall in the competition - the UK's best Eurovision placing since 1998 and with 466 points gained its higher ever score too.
And this success has transplanted onto the Official Charts too - SPACE MAN tops the Trending Chart, ahead of its exciting journey up the Official Singles Chart, where it could end up challenging Harry Styles for Number 1.
In other Eurovision-related news, Maneskin's new Max Martin-produced tune Supermodel enters the Official Trending Chart for the first time today, as does Subwoolfer's Give That Wolf A Banana, the Norwegian entry for 2022.
