The Killers’ ‘Mr Brightside’ Snags U.K. Chart Milestone
"Mr Brightside" is the U.K.’s biggest-ever single which didn’t reach No. 1.
Two decades after release, the U.S. alternative rock act’s signature song is anointed as the U.K.’s biggest-ever single which didn’t reach No. Since its release, “Mr Brightside” has accumulated 5.57 million combined units, including 1.066m sales and 530,340,000 streams, the Official Charts Company reports, good enough for third place on the all-time list of biggest songs, behind Elton John’s “Something About the Way You Look Tonight”/”Candle in the Wind 1997.” That streaming tally sends it to No. The Killers will dish out the hits for the Rebel Diamonds Tour of the U.K. and Ireland this summer, which includes 16 arena shows.
