The reggae band's single 'Rude' has made it to the top 50 songs subsequent to its official release and has jumped a very impressive 48 places to the number two spot. Finally, today, the song was able to make it to the top spot, beating Cheryl Cole's 'Crazy Stupid Love' which featured English rap artist Tinie Tempah. The song is now at the number two spot.

Their two other songs also reached over a million streams each just this week.

Other notable songs on the list are that of Ariana Grande and Iggy Azalea's collaboration song 'Problem' which garnered 1.05 streams and George Ezra's Budapest which got a total of 1.02 million hits.
