Pharrell Williams has celebrated a double victory after featuring on the two best-selling singles of 2013 in the UK.
The artist collaborated on both Robin Thicke’s ‘Blurred Lines’, which secured the top spot with sales of over 1.47 million copies, and the second place entry ‘Get Lucky’ by Daft Punk.
The French duo’s track, which also featured Chic’s Nile Rodgers, sold 1.3 million copies during 2013, according to The Official Charts Company.
Williams also scored the final number one single of 2013 last week with his single ‘Happy’ from the Despicable Me 2 soundtrack.
Williams said of his success: “I’m humbled by all of the love the UK fans have shown. But, when you are working with incredible talent like The Robots and Robin, great things are bound to happen.”
Meanwhile, Avicii landed the third biggest-selling single of the year with his debut number 1 ‘Wake Me Up’. The song also holds the title of the fastest-selling track, having shifted 267,000 copies in the first week after its release in June.
