"I'm so grateful and honoured - this is insane. I can't put into words what this means to me. I appreciate everyone's support. To my fans, thank you for your patience and thank you always for listening. I wouldn't be here without you, and I promise to keep giving you all my best," Ora said.
She has had a strong run of success on the Official Chart of late. Since June last year, five of her singles have reached the top tier: "Your song" (seven), "Lonely together" (with DJ Avicii, four), "Anywhere" (two), "For you" (eight) and "Let you love me".
