Brit Sweep: June 24, 2017...
On the official singles chart in Britain, after only two days of being available, the charity record for the victims of the Grenfell Tower fire tragedy, a cover of Simon & Garfunkel's "Bridge Over Troubled Water" put together by Simon Cowell (of Idol and X Factor) fame, arrives at the top of the chart. The version features music stars like Robbie Williams, Liam Payne and Louis Tomlinson from One Direction, the Who's Roger Daltrey, Jesse J, James Arthur, Geri Halliwell, and much much more. It sold over 169,000 copies just from those 48 hours.
