Awwwwww. Cute overload.

[Mega248]

This is such a beautiful cover. I love the cozy, enchanting style that makes you feel like you're sitting in a room lit by a Christmas tree and a roaring fireplace.

From Digital Spy:

Lily Allen has now pushed her way to the number one spot with "Somewhere Only We Know" on the singles chart and is currently fewer than 200 copies ahead of Bastille's "Of The Night".

:o As a side note, "Hard Out Here" is at #8 on the Friday's midweek chart update.

[Lozzy]

#1 in the UK!

Let's see if I beat juanito?

Edit: yay!

Edit #2: 660 copies ahead of Bastille, expected a smaller margin!

Edit #3: it sold 80,917 copies, down 14% from last week - assuming I calculated the percentage correctly, because I'm never completely sure.

From the Official Charts:

After a week away from the top spot, Lily Allen's cover of Keane's "Somewhere Only We Know" is heading back to Number 1 this weekend.

Moreover:

Lily is also listed in this year's definitive Official Christmas Number 1 contenders list. Though "Somewhere Only We Know" may already have hit the top spot, with its haunting vocal and its accompanying TV ad on high rotation, the track will undoubtedly be hanging around the upper echelons of the Official Chart for some time yet.

[Lozzy]

Back to #1 in the UK (run: 2-1-4-1).

ETA: and 6k ahead of One Direction.

ETA #2: sold 46,279 copies this week, the lowest for a #1 since Taio Cruz's "Break Your Heart" sold 42,746 in its third week at #1 (October 2009). And "Somewhere Only We Know" has decreased in sales every week despite that chart run

[Juan Carlos]

From the Official Charts:

Lily's cover of Keane's "Somewhere Only We Know", which is featured in John Lewis's Christmas TV ad campaign, returned to the chart summit last Sunday to spend a second non-consecutive week at the top spot. Yet, while it remains in pole-position on today's Official Singles Chart Update, with less than 7,000 copies currently separating the Top 4, it could all change come Sunday.

Another close week is coming.

I've always loved this song and Lily did a very nice job with it. That commercial is too cute.

[Lozzy]

#1 on the UK singles chart for a third week.

[Juan Carlos]

Stays atop for a third non-consecutive week in the UK.

Late for 4 seconds :'(

[Rocky]

Slizzard is so fast. Just as usual.

Slay Lily! :'( Hope they'll try to do something with "Hard Out Here" later.

Sadly, I don't think so. I hope I could be wrong though~ "Hard Out Here" is no longer on the BBC Radio 1 Playlist and it's falling on iTunes :( I assume her and/or her label is pushing "Somewhere Only We Know" instead.
