The Official Charts Company has revealed that EU anthem Ode To Joy will chart this week.
Pro-Europeans have been buying a live version of Dutch composer Andre Rieu's version of the song, which is accompanied by the Johann Strauss Orchestra.

It has now topped the downloads chart on both Amazon and iTunes, just ahead of a rival pro-Brexit song from 'comedian' Dominic Frisby entitled '17 Million Fuck-Offs'.

The Official Charts Company, which counts both download sales and physical copy sales, have now added the numbers together and work out that as of Tuesday it was just 1,200 copies away from entering the Top 40.

This was before the song jumped to the top of the iTunes chart - meaning the song is likely to now make the Top 40.
