Drake’s 'One Dance' is still on top of the UK singles chart this week, logging a massive 15 weeks at number one. The Canadian rapper has now equaled the chart record set by Wet Wet Wet’s ‘Love Is All Around’ in 1994 and he’s one week away from the all-time record, held by Bryan Adams’ (Everything I Do) I Do It For You.

Drake’s ‘One Dance’ is still on top of the UK chart.

Speaking to the NME, Wet Wet Wet singer Marti Pellow congratulated Drake on equalling the band’s chart feat: “The way music is consumed today is very different to 20-odd years ago, so it’s difficult to equate the two records. Congratulations to Drake and his team though, for a job well done.”

As reports state, Reg Presley dies age 71. The Troggs singer had been suffering with lung cancer for the past year.

As The Independent report, last January Presley made public his lung cancer diagnosis. "As you all know, I was taken ill whilst doing a gig in Germany in December. During my stay in hospital, tests showed that in fact I have lung cancer. I am receiving chemotherapy treatment and at the moment not feeling too bad," he wrote. "However I've had to call time on The Troggs and retire. I would like to take this opportunity to thank you all for the cards and calls and for your love, loyalty and support over the years."

The Troggs are the band behind the success of the iconic song 'Wild Thing' which was a major hit both in the UK and US during the '60s. The band enjoyed repeated fame and success during the '90s when their song 'Love is All Around' was covered by Wet Wet Wet and Radiohead, the latter with whom they recorded an album. Presley and The Troggs continued gigging right up until the singer's diagnosis. Over the past two decades he has also been known for his interest in crop circles and UFOs. He has even published a book about them.
