#Q12015

According to the Official Charts Company, the People's Christmas Number One has 'shifted' 810,000 copies and been streamed over 26 million times, giving it a combined sales tally for Q1 of over a million.

Second best so far in 2015 is Ellie Goulding's 'Love Me Like You Do' with 725,000, while Hozier's per­sist­ent 'Take Me To Church' is third with 705,000 sales.
