Lewis Capaldi and Lorde top UK charts after Glastonbury performances
Scottish singer Capaldi also made an emotional return to the Somerset festival last weekend, performing his new song Survive which has since gone to number one on the singles chart.
Capaldi performed a 35-minute set at the Pyramid stage, two years after struggling to manage his Tourette syndrome symptoms while singing on the same stage.
Speaking to Official Charts, Capaldi thanked fans who had streamed and downloaded Survive, saying it 'really means the world'.
'I've been away for a little while, and to come back to this outpouring of love and support has been absolutely incredible.
'I can't thank everybody enough for all the kind words since Glastonbury – and now this.
'It's been the best week of my life,' he said.
Speaking to the festival crowd on Saturday, he said: 'It's so good to be back. I'm not going to say much up here today, because if I do, I think I will probably start crying.
'But it's just amazing to be here with you all, and I can't thank you all enough for coming out and coming and seeing me.
'Second time's a charm on this one, everybody.
'It's just a short set today, but I just wanted to come and kind of finish what I couldn't finish the first time round.'
Introducing Survive at the festival, Capaldi became visibly emotional as he said: 'The last two years haven't been the best for me, it's been difficult at times.
'This has been my f****** goal, to get back here,' he added.
He ended his performance with Somebody You Loved, the track that Glastonbury crowds helped him to sing when he struggled with his Tourette symptoms in 2023.
The condition causes you to make sudden, repetitive sounds or movements and while there is no cure, treatment can help manage the tics, according to the NHS website.
Virgin is Lorde's fourth studio album, and her previous three, Pure Heroine (2013), Melodrama (2017) and Solar Power (2021) all reached the top 10 of the UK albums chart.
Lorde, 28, whose real name is Ella Yelich-O'Connor, took to the Woodsies stage at Glastonbury on Saturday to perform the album in full to the packed tent and a crowd gathered outside.
The New Zealand-born singer pulled her top off to finish with a double hit of Ribs from her debut album Pure Heroine, which she said was first played at Glastonbury in 2017, and Melodrama's Green Light, during which the lasers turned from blue to green.
The final song prompted a football terrace-style singalong that almost drowned out Lorde herself.
She is best known for songs such as Homemade Dynamite, Solar Power and her second single Royals, which reached number one in the UK singles chart.

Daisy Edgar-Jones subtly reveals her boyfriend Ben Seed is her phone lock screen as the couple look smitten at star-studded BST Hyde Park
Daisy Edgar-Jones has proven that things are getting serious with her boyfriend Ben Seed as she revealed that she is her phone lock screen. The Normal People actress, 27, was seen at BST Hyde Park on Friday with the photographer, and they looked cosy while chatting with their friends. She has been dating the photographer since September 2023, with their relationship going from strength-to-strength, though they are generally private about their bond. And Daisy has now taken a sweet step with Ben as a flash of her phone during her festival outing revealed that she has set him as her phone lock screen. In a heartwarming gesture, her background was a loved-up snap of her and Ben as she could be seen cuddling up to him. For her Hyde Park outing, Daisy looked stunning in a frilly white lace top and matching skirt, which she paired with a brown handbag and sunglasses. Meanwhile Ben cut a smart figure in a smart striped polo shirt with sunglasses as they enjoyed some drinks in the show. It is not the couple's first outing together in recent days as they spent last weekend at Glastonbury with Daisy's Normal People co-star Paul Mescal and his girlfriend Gracie Abrams. They all lived it up at Glastonbury with Harris Dickinson and India Mullen, as well as Paul's siblings Nell and Donnacha. The couple are relatively private and generally keep their romance under wraps, rarely speaking about one another in interviews. However, Ben is no stranger to a high-profile relationship, having previously dated The Queen's Gambit star Anya Taylor-Joy. He split up with Anya ahead of her beating Daisy to the best actress at the Golden Globes in 2021. Meanwhile, Daisy split from her ex-boyfriend Tom Varey in late 2020 after two years of dating. Daisy is said to be on 'cloud nine' with Ben, who also goes by the artist name Pip. A source previously told The Sun: 'Daisy and Pip got together earlier this year and have become inseparable. 'They have both had some free time this summer and love hanging out in Broadway Market in East London, just going to bars and spending time together. 'There's a real spark there and they are excited about finding each other. They've already met one another's friends and she is on cloud nine.' While Daisy is now enjoying a romance with Ben, Anya has moved on and is loved-up with her husband Malcolm McRae. They secretly tied the knot in New Orleans nearly three years ago before going on to have a second wedding in Venice in October 2023. Elsewhere, Daisy revealed what it is really like working with Hollywood's 'internet boyfriends', referring to her co-stars including Paul Mescal and Glen Powell. Speaking to Elle, Daisy explained: 'I have worked with basically all of the internet's boyfriends, and I'm lucky that every actor I've worked with has been incredibly supportive of me being the lead. Glen, Sebastian, Paul, all of them. 'I think that's why they're so successful and so loved and so good: that they are so generous, and they really serve the story and are not serving themselves. 'Glen was always like, "What's Kate's journey in this? Let's find it." And same with Sebastian; he was so completely invested in Noa's journey. 'Paul's like playing tennis with your best friend. I'm nervous for the point that it comes to working with someone who might not be so chill with it! 'Because there's so much ego that can exist in this industry.'

Bob Vylan's vile anti-British rants - cheered on by the smug, middle-class Glastonbury wokerati - have brought the true ideology of the far Left into the open: CHARLIE DOWNES
By now, you will certainly have heard of Pascal Robinson-Foster, although you might know him better by his stage name, Bobby Vylan. A punk singer and political extremist who despises Britain, Robinson-Foster made headlines around the world last weekend when he called for 'death to the IDF' (Israeli Defence Forces) while performing at Glastonbury.

TALK OF THE TOWN: Sorry Lily, blonde Flora Huddart is James Norton's new 'festival girlfriend'
He's the charming actor who swept pop star Lily Allen off her feet at London 's Lido Festival. But now I can reveal that James Norton has swapped the Smile singer for another 'festival girlfriend' – although this time she's a posh blonde socialite. My spies saw the Grantchester actor holding hands with glamorous stylist Flora Huddart, at the NYC Downlow nightclub at Glastonbury last week. Lily Allen was also at Worthy Farm but otherwise engaged – I'm told she was seen poring over her phone. Allen ended her four-year marriage to Stranger Things star David Harbour in December after she discovered he had a secret profile on the Raya dating app. Her fans were delighted to see her with Norton at the East London festival headlined by Charli XCX last month. The pair were snapped partying together, prompting speculation they were an item. However, it clearly wasn't to be. And it appears Norton and Huddart's relationship has continued beyond the hedonistic fields of Worthy Farm, with the couple spotted on a cosy date in Shoreditch, East London, last week. Huddart hails from a creative family. Her mother Arabella was a stylist for Vogue and her sister Georgiana is the co-founder of Hunza G, the bikini brand beloved by A-listers such as Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Emily Ratajkowski. Happy Valley star Norton, 39, who has been tipped to be the next James Bond, was dating Prada model Charlotte Rose Smith, 25, late last year. That relationship came several months after he split from his fiancee, the actress Imogen Poots, after six years together. The Grantchester actor was seen holding hands with glamorous stylist Flora Huddart (pictured) at the NYC Downlow nightclub at Glastonbury last week Speaking at Glastonbury, Norton revealed that it was Poots who dumped him, saying: 'This is going to sound ridiculous but I got broken up with and it was massive.' But he added: 'It was a year and a half ago and I'm feeling great. I have gone through the most monumental change as a result I feel like I've grown up. I feel like I've become a man. It's mad.' Pop sensation Charli XCX got into a fight with 'Boomers' over her heavy use of Auto-tune during her Glastonbury set. I can only imagine the outrage it would cause if they knew what the singer was paid for her computer-enhanced vocals – a cool £900,000. Finances take a Freudian slip Kate Moss and Sienna Miller are fans, but business is far from booming for fashion designer Bella Freud, 64, with her eponymous label having lost £4.85 million since it was founded in 2012. Last year, it lost another £315,000 and the designer, right, owes £250,000 to a key investor. 'It's such a hard business, fashion, partly because you're always spending money,' said Bella, the daughter of artist Lucian Freud, last month. Clearly! Olympia's still game Game of Thrones star Sophie Turner and Peregrine 'Perry' Pearson looked more loved-up than ever at Glastonbury last weekend – despite rumours they'd quietly cooled things off. Happily, his ex, Princess Olympia of Greece, is not pining. King Charles' goddaughter, 28, who split from the Cowdray Estate heir in late 2023, has been joined on her family's Greek holiday by Argentine businessman Martin Pacanowski. That's something Perry had done three times. Going sober? Anais might roll with it... Some might say that she's hardly following in the rock 'n' roll footsteps of her dad, Noel Gallagher. The Oasis singer will surely be shocked to learn that his 25-year-old daughter has revealed she's 'sober curious' – a term Gen Z use to describe drinking less alcohol. In one social media post, Anais swapped her usual pint for a booze-free 0.0 Guinness. Would Oasis have been quite so big had one of their songs been called Cigarettes & Alcohol-Free Beer? Is it Groundhog Day? James Cook last week threw a party to celebrate his engagement to a blonde who looks strikingly similar to his ex-wife, Poppy Delevingne. The aerospace director, 46, is to marry the willowy Lauren Brown, a photographer's agent, after he proposed in Bhutan earlier this year. The glamorous guest list at Kensington Roof Gardens included James's sister Tori, a personal assistant to actress Sienna Miller. Poppy is now in a relationship with Sienna's ex, the billionaire businessman Archie Keswick. Small world! Love it, Lewis Singer-songwriter Lewis Capaldi made a magnificent comeback on the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury, with a secret set – first revealed in this newspaper – that brought the house down and secured his track Survive the No 1 slot this week. And it seems he is bidding to bounce back in his personal life, too. I can disclose the 28-year-old Scot has signed up to Raya, the celebrity dating app used by actors, sports stars, musicians and supermodels alike.
