Route 94 has won his first UK number one single with ‘My Love’.

The 20-year-old DJ and producer has knocked Pharrell Williams’s ‘Happy’ from the top of the charts with the Jess Glynne-assisted track.

The song becomes Glynne’s second chart-topper of 2014, following the success of Clean Bandit’s ‘Rather Be’.

Route 94 told OfficialCharts.com: “I didn’t see it coming. I’m absolutely over the moon! I never thought ‘I’m gonna write a massive Number 1’ or a pop hit, or whatever, I just wrote it, and what happened just happened.

“I’ll be celebrating by going out for some food with my girlfriend and then throwing a MASSIVE party, so everyone come and get involved!”

Meanwhile, Coldplay’s ‘Magic’ – the first single from their upcoming sixth album Ghost Stories – is at number ten.
