Danish pop group Lukas Graham have spoken at their shock of over taking former One Direction member Zayn Malik’s number one position in the single charts. Lukas Graham’s ‘7 Years’ has pushed Malik’s debut single ‘Pillowtalk’ off the pole position in the charts.

Listen to ‘7 Years’ below:

Interestingly enough the lead man’s name is Lukas Graham, as well as the name of the group, the reason being:

“I don’t play any instruments, I don’t produce, I don’t know which keys or chords I am using, so in essence I need the band and the production team – otherwise I am just some guy with a hat and a song.”

“It is all Lukas’s stories, his perspective of life, so it kind of makes sense that it has a personal narrator,” says Kasper Daugaard, who plays the keyboards”

Lead man Lukas Graham spoke to the BBC, saying how quickly things have happened:

“We were standing in line for the passports yesterday, checking into the UK,”This whole school group was walking in singing our song, and one of the guys said, ‘They know who we are’ and I was like, ‘Dude, they do not know who we are. They are not even looking at us.’

“They are singing the song and they have no idea this is us, so thanks to those schoolgirls for making us feel our first little bit of stardom in the UK.”

Lukas Graham’s eponymously titled album ‘Lukas Graham’ is set to be released shortly, with 25th March being the expected date.
