Tones And I is on the brink of another U.K. Top 40 hit.
The one-time-busker turned global star blows into the top tier of the midweek U.K. chart with ‘Fly Away,’ which lifts 42-37, a new peak.
Released in November 2020, ‘Fly Away’ (Parlophone) takes off after going viral on TikTok where it been used almost 100,000 times to soundtrack upbeat clips, the Official Charts Company reports.
Tones (real name Toni Watson) had a U.K. smash for the books with ‘Dance Monkey,’ which led the Official U.K. Singles Chart in 2019 for 11 weeks, a record for a female solo artist.
‘Dance Monkey’ continues to shuffle on the weekly chart, where it currently sits at No. 98.
Tones has impacted the survey with three titles. The third was ‘Dance Monkey’ follow-up ‘Never Seen the Rain,’ peaking at No. 99 in early 2020.
‘Fly Away’ will appear on Tones’ eagerly anticipated full-length debut album Welcome To The Madhouse, due out July 16.
The Official U.K. Singles Chart is published late Friday, local time.
