Brit Sweep: April 15, 2016...


Let's go back across the Atlantic to check out some of the songs making their debut on the official singles chart in the UK this week, as Drake leaps twenty spots to #1 with "One Dance", becoming his first chart-topper in Britain as a lead artist (he also made it as a guest on Rihanna's "What's My Name" in 2010)...

The newly-crowned winner of this season's The Voice UK, Kevin Simm, claims the top debut of the week at #24 with "All You Good Friends". Simm, who was 'coached' by Ricky Wilson on the show, previously was a member of the British pop group Liberty X, who made the top ten in this country seven times, with "Just A Little" going to #1 in 2002.
