Lewis Capaldi Tops UK Charts With Biggest 2025 Opening Week

Lewis Capaldi has made a triumphant return to the music scene with his new single 'Survive,' which achieved the biggest opening week of his career and the largest for any Number 1 single in 2025, moving 68,500 chart units including over 4 million streams. This surpasses his previous record of 56,000 units from his 2022 hit 'Forget Me' and beats Sabrina Carpenter's 'Manchild,' which had 62,400 units. Capaldi expressed deep gratitude for the overwhelming support since his performance at the 2025 Glastonbury Festival, marking his first live shows since 2023 and his return after a hiatus to manage symptoms of Tourette's syndrome. Alongside 'Survive,' his signature track 'Someone You Loved' surged by 115% on the charts, and his 2019 album 'Divinely Uninspired To A Hellish Extent' saw a 198% increase in sales and streams, re-entering the Official Albums Chart Top 20. The success has sparked renewed interest in his music, prompting Capaldi to announce a major UK and Ireland arena tour, including a show at Dublin's 3Arena. This comeback has been described by Capaldi as the best week of his life, reflecting both personal and professional milestones.
