Leona Lewis Fact: "Run" (Snow Patrol's original song) has now become the biggest downloaded song so far in the UK. It is one of the few songs to make the UK number one on downloads alone, others include Gnarls Barkley, Madonna and Sugababes

Didn't they say a group has the biggest download in the UK?

Though a batch of 1980s-New Wave-inspired bands started making noise in the early 2000s, it wasn't until the Killers' 2004 debut album HOT FUSS (and its crossover hits "Somebody Told Me" and "Mr. Brightside") that the style really broke through to the mainstream. Heavily indebted to the likes of the Smiths, Psychedelic Furs, et al, the Las Vegas, NV quartet brought a contemporary sense of urgency to their retro-loving dance-rock sound and taught a new generation of kids that it doesn't have to be disco to be dance music. For follow-up SAM'S TOWN, the group obviously feasted on a gorge of Bruce Springsteen style rock, and while the sound boasted a slightly harder edge, the group retained the critics' and fans' adoration. - HMV

Eurgh it's about time they stopped playing "Human".

 

Agreed, it totally killed off Spaceman :(

A group has the biggest selling download in the UK? I have no idea, but KOL is defintely a possibilty.
