Daft Punk Get Lucky With First UK No.1 Single
Collaboration with Pharrell Williams and Nile Rodgers grabs top spot...
Daft Punk have scored their first ever UK No 1 single with Nile Rodgers, the legendary Chic guitarist who worked on Get Lucky, spoke to the Official Charts Company about the single's success.
He said: "I am so honoured and completely blown away. It's an amazing thing to have happen, really cool.
"Whenever you work on music, whenever you write or produce, whatever I do, I always try and do the very best I can.
"The relationship between myself and Daft Punk was just so unbelievably right. So, the fact that it has gone to Number 1 is humbling. It is extraordinary."
