Lewis Capaldi 'blown away' by response to new song after topping the charts
The Glasgow-born singer has enjoyed a remarkable comeback to the music scene in recent weeks. Scottish singer-songwriter Lewis Capaldi has expressed his astonishment at the overwhelming response to his latest single, marking a triumphant return to the music scene. The 28-year-old's new track, Survive, shot to the top of the charts this week, securing the Number 1 spot. According to the Official Charts, the song has garnered over four million streams in its debut week. That marks the largest opening week of any Number 1 single in 2025 thus far. The accomplishment is the latest milestone in Capaldi's remarkable comeback, which has included a surprise performance at Glastonbury. The Glasgow-born artist also made an appearance at a Swiss music festival and has announced a comeback tour, with scheduled dates at the Hydro and P&J Live in Aberdeen later this year. The talent will also play shows in London, Manchester, Sheffield, Birmingham, Nottingham, Cardiff, and Dublin. Taking to Instagram, the Forget Me chanter expressed his gratitude, stating he has been "absolutely blown away" by the response and "cannot thank everyone enough". In a video message, he added: "I just wanted to do a video to say thank you to every single person who has streamed, downloaded, and bought a physical copy of Survive this week. "We are number 1 in the UK, it's the fastest-selling song in the UK this year. "I'm over the moon to be back doing what I love doing, and thanks to you we're back at number 1. "I'll see you all soon. Love you. Bye." Thousands of people rushed to the comment section to congratulate the Someone You Loved singer on the feat, including some famous faces. Liverpool musician Jamie Webster commented: "Good to have you back lad. Congratulations." Sonny Jay, Capital Late Show Host and Dancing on ice 2021 champion, scribed: "What a man". Meanwhile, rapper Professor Green and TV presenter Ulrika Jonsson posted red love heart emojis in support. X Factor duo Jedward also made their feelings known, writing: "Always number 1 in our hearts". Last weekend, Capaldi performed a 35-minute set at Glastonbury's Pyramid stage, two years after struggling to manage his Tourette syndrome symptoms while singing on the same stage. 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. 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." 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," he said. "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." Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

Oasis fans 'heartbroken' as legendary song missing from reunion tour setlist
Oasis played 23 of their biggest hits at their first reunion show in Cardiff on Friday (July 4) but some fans were left disappointed after one iconic song was left off the setlist Oasis made a triumphant return after 16 years apart, kicking off their Live '25 tour at Cardiff's Principality Stadium on Friday (July 4), but fans were united in their dismay over one particular anthem that didn't make the setlist. Liam and Noel Gallagher delivered a nostalgic set of 23 Oasis classics to an eager crowd, marking their first joint performance since their explosive split in 2009, with huge hits like Cigarettes and Alcohol, Supersonic, Live Forever, and Wonderwall all featuring on the setlist. But with such an extensive catalogue of hits, it was inevitable some fan favourites wouldn't feature, leaving many "devastated" at the omission of their most-loved tunes. Maxi Gonzalez, an avid Oasis follower, shared the night's setlist on X, quickly becoming swamped with responses from fellow enthusiasts discussing the song selection. Disappointment was rife among the comments, with fans lamenting the absence of tracks such as Columbia, The Importance of Being Idle, and Don't Go Away from the evening's repertoire. However, the exclusion of Lyla, their hit single from 2005, seemed to resonate most with the audience, with numerous commenters arguing it should have been included in the 23-song lineup. One supporter remarked: "Lyla would have been the biggest sing-along in history." Another suggested: "Take out Bring It On Down for Lyla and it's perfect." The group also opted to leave out the 2002 hit Stop Crying Your Heart Out, which has since become one of Oasis' most celebrated tracks globally. Other fan favourites, including Songbird and She's Electric, were notably absent from the performance. In fact, Oasis performed just one track from their 2002 record, Heathen Chemistry, Little By Little. All remaining numbers were drawn from their initial three albums, Definitely Maybe, (What's the Story) Morning Glory?, and Be Here Now, or were B-sides released during the same period spanning 1994 to 1997. Numerous supporters acknowledged that the group simply possesses "too many good songs" to satisfy every listener. Others suggested that they might switch up certain tracks for upcoming tour performances, meaning the setlist could vary.
