Daft Punk's 'Get Lucky' is the first single released in 2013 to sell over a million copies in the UK

  • June 28, 2013
  • Brad O'Mance

daft punkInterview-shy elec­tronic music duo Daft Punk's 'Get Lucky' has become the first single released in 2013 to pass the million sales mark.

The song — which is the biggest-selling single of the year so far — reached the milestone on its 69th day on sale, and is the 136th single in the UK chart's 60 year history to sell more than 999,999 copies.

Fellow recluse Nile Rodgers had this to say about the achieve­ment when asked by The Official Charts Company: "The fact that 'Get Lucky' has sold a million copies in the UK is one thing, but to do it in 69 days?! I’m awestruck."

In other sales news, Peter Andre's seminal 'Mysterious Girl' also passed the million sales mark, so that's something.
