“Survive is this week’s UK Number 1, and I want to say a massive thank you to everybody who’s been streaming it, downloading it – it really means the world,” Lewis told Official Charts exclusively.

The Someone You Love hitmaker continued, “I’ve been away for a little while, and to come back to this outpouring of love and support has been absolutely incredible."
