Lewis Capaldi claims 4th UK Number 1 Single with Pointless. Sold out Arena Tour starts tonight.

Global superstar Lewis Capaldi today scores his fourth UK number 1 single with Pointless, equalling the likes of Whitney Houston, Cher, Jay-Z, One Direction, Pharrell, Justin Timberlake, Usher, Busted, B*Witched & Pet Shop Boys.


Pointless follows his previous three number 1s in Someone You Loved (2019), Before You Go (2020), and Forget Me (2022), and is the second single from his upcoming second studio album Broken By Desire To Be Heavenly Sent - out May 19th on EMI Records.


"Thank you so much if you have streamed, downloaded or listened to Pointless in any way, it really means a lot." says Lewis. "This is my fourth UK Number 1, I now have the same amount of Number 1s as B*Witched, so pretty f*cking good if you ask me! I know theres a cost of living crisis, so thank you for spending your money on my music."

Lewis recently performed the new ballad at this years Strictly Come Dancing semi-finals show HERE, and on The Graham Norton Show.

Pointless arrives as one of his earliest compositions for the new album, written on the first day with Steve Mac. With Snow Patrols Johnny McDaid also on the session, the trio were working on one song ("which hasnt made the cut") when Lewis collaborators mentioned a verse theyd previously begun writing with Ed Sheeran.


Recently, Capaldi was announced as one of the headliners for Reading & Leeds Festival 2023, as well as unveiling his biggest outdoor headline summer shows to date in Manchester, Edinburgh & Belfast . The announcements came after he sold out his upcoming 2023 UK arena tour in seconds, which kicks off this Saturday in Leeds. The overwhelming demand for him doesnt stop there, recently being crowned the King Of Streaming with his global hit single Someone You Loved becoming the UKs most streamed song of ALL TIME.

If his first album made him an international star, with his second its nothing less than superstardom that beckons. His return has shown that the insatiable appetite for Capaldi burns as bright as ever.
