"We have waited for today for like, years! When we first heard about breaking the UK charts, it was so amazing and surprising because the the UK chart is so well respected. You have the greatest musicians in your country, and in this city, so we feel so grateful for that. We’ll never take it for granted. Thank you so much. We love you London!” RM told the audience at the London concert.
