US artist Miguel’s single cracks the UK singles chart
The US artist Miguel has been around since 2008. It has taken 15 years for Miguel to crack the UK top 10 singles chart. After all these years an old song ‘Sure Thing’ released back in 2010 has become the first, to get there thanks to it going viral on the social media platform Tik Tok. ‘Sure Thing’ debuted five weeks ago on the chart at 83 and moved up with ease as the track still sounds very contemporary. Last week ‘Sure Thing’ made it to the top 10 and this week has climbed from 10 to No: 6. The R&B/ neo soul track is taken from Miguel’s 2010 album ‘All I Want Is You’.
