International superstar DJ Calvin Harris’ latest single 'I Need Your Love' feat. Ellie Goulding charted at Number 7 in the UK’s Official Singles Chart last night, which makes Calvin the first artist ever to have 8 singles from the same album reach the UK Top 10.
18 Months is still riding high in the Official Albums Chart since its release in September 2012, 8 months ago, and it is edging ever closer to double platinum status.
'I Need Your Love' is the eighth single taken from the album, and follows Harris' collaborations with Tinie Tempah ('Drinking From the Bottle'), Kelis ('Bounce'), his solo track Feel So Close, and collaborations with Rihanna ('We Found Love'), Ne-Yo ('Let’s Go'), Example ('We’ll Be Coming Back'), and Florence Welch ('Sweet Nothing') – which have all reached the UK Top 5.
Official Charts Company Managing Director, Martin Talbot, says “Many artists only achieve a handful of hits in their entire careers, so for any act to secure three or four from one album is an excellent achievement. In turn, eight Top 10s from one album is not just impressive, it is absolutely remarkable. And, of course, record breaking. Congratulations to Calvin Harris, THE modern day hit-maker.”
