Nathan Evans’ sea shanty “Wellerman” is enjoying smooth sailing in the early phase of the chart week.
The sea shanty was the most downloaded and streamed song in the U.K. over the past weekend, according to the Official Charts Company, to lead the First Look survey.
“Wellerman” has played a long game. After seven weeks inside the Top 3, the single finally ousted Olivia Rodrigo’s “Drivers License” last Friday, ending the ballad’s eight-week run atop the chart.
