We say

In a week dominated by major superstar releases, it’s this more intriguing slow-burner track from Danish act Lukas Graham that’s set to dominate for months on end, then outgun them all on sales and streams. The latest UK chart update sees the song climb to No.10. before any real substantial airplay kicks in. It's is a proper word-of-mouth smash that we first noticed gather traction on global playlists, then heard from several overseas radio contacts that it's their biggest genuine punter hit in months. Telling the engaging, human tale of the musician’s life so far, expressing hopes and dreams for the future, it's as powerful as today's pop gets and defies being pigeonholed into one musical genre. That’s why airplay across all formats is rapidly building day by day. With 4.2 million UK Spotify streams so far and over 110 million around the world, a Top 10 place on the UK Shazam chart, Top 5 on UK iTunes and next single Mama Said already on the UK iTunes chart with no profile whatsoever, we think we’re looking at 2016's biggest breakthrough act on the planet. One word: colossal.
