Now the track is getting lots of airplay on radio stations across the country, maybe it’s a fun time for people listening an buy the track that they remember when it was originally released or it could have been an extremely cleverly placed marketing ploy, get get the lads back in the charts.
Who knows! But the pair have done well over the years and although a lot of fans have been asking for Ant and Dec to get back in to music, the fans may have a long wait, Ant and Dec have set their sights across the pond and are looking to take Saturday Night Takeaway to America.
So for now, it seems that Ant and Dec are still riding high in the charts with Let’s Get Ready To Rhumble and with the fans still downloading the track, it may stay a the top spot for a few weeks.
