The track, which features Bruno Mars, notched up a combined sales and streaming total of
1.76 million to finish at the top of the end of year chart. The song’s total combined sales
since its release in November 2014 stand at 2.25 million.
Uptown Funk has proved unstoppable throughout 2015. As well as spending a total of seven

Ronson has fended off competition from several hugely successful tracks released this year
to top the year-end chart, which includes 17 Number 1s in the total Top 40.
Finishing at Number 2 is OMI’s Cheerleader (Felix Jaehn Remix). The summer smash first
entered the Official Singles Chart at Number 96 in January and steadily scaled the tally for 14
weeks until its April impact date, eventually reaching the summit in May for four consecutive
weeks. Cheerleader finishes 2015 with a combined sales total of 1.52 million.
Taking third place on 2015 biggest songs list is Hozier’s Take Me To Church with 1.25 million
combined sales. The stirring soul-blues track racked up huge sales over the last 12 months
despite never reaching Number 1, peaking at 2 for four consecutive weeks after a 20-week
climb inside the Top 40.

At Number 4 is Ellie Goulding’s Love Me Like You Do. The 50 Shades Of Grey movie song
topped the chart for four weeks (holding Hozier off the top spot for three of them!) back in
February. By the end of 2015, the song notched up 1.19 million combined sales.
Rounding off the end of year Top 5 is Wiz Khalifa’s See You Again. The Fast & Furious 7
tribute to actor Paul Walker, which topped the Official Singles Chart for two weeks in April,
finishes close behind Goulding on 1.17 million sales and streams. It’s also the first of two
entries for the song’s guest star and co-writer Charlie Puth, who places at 34 with his
Meghan Trainor collaboration Marvin Gaye.

Despite being released little over two months ago, Adele’s Hello manages to finish sixth
place in the list (1.12 million combined sales). The track smashed Official Chart records upon
its release, being the biggest Number 1 single in three years and setting a new one-week
streaming record. View Hello’s full UK chart run here.
Further down the tally, Justin Bieber makes four entries in the Top 40, two of which are in the
Top 10: What Do You Mean is at 9 (988,000 combined sales) and Sorry finishes at 10
(934,000). His Skillex and Diplo collaboration Where Are U Now is just below at 15 (874,000),
and his most recent chart-topper Love Yourself is at Number 24 (719,000).
It’s been an incredible year for Bieber on the Official Chart. Just some of his achievements
include having scored his first UK Number 1 with What Do You Mean, logging 10 weeks at the
top across his last three tracks, and becoming the first living artist to score eight Top 40
entries following the release of his latest album Purpose. See where all his singles and
albums have charted in the UK here.
Other notable entries include three for Ed Sheeran, the highest of which is Thinking Out Loud
(Number 12, 917,000 combined sales in 2015), three for Jess Glynne, lead by Hold My Hand
(Number 14, 876,000 combined sales) and a trio for The Weeknd, headed up by Can’t Feel My
Face (Number 21, 778,000 combined sales).
