“It means the world to me to be number one at the moment. It was always my dream to have a UK number one single, and it’s been a long time coming!,” she told The Official Charts Company.

“Thank you to everyone who bought ‘Burn’ and everyone who has supported me over the last three years.”

Avicii stays at two with ‘Wake Me Up’, while Miley Cyrus slips two from last week’s top spot with ‘We Can’t Stop’.
