The young George Sampson not only wooed the British public and won Britain's Got Talent on Saturday night. It now seems the 14-year-old is having an influence on the pop charts as well. Just three days after he won the nation's heart with his break dancing act to Mint Royale's modern version of Gene Kelly's classic Singin' in the Rain, the song has hit the No 1 spot in the iTunes chart. Watch it hit the heights of the official top 40 chart this Sunday. The song was originally released in August 2006 after being used in a Volkswagen Golf advert but it seems it has taken the power of BGT to get it to the top. Sampson may be only 14 but Monkey is guessing he will soon become a star of Paul Potts-esque proportions.
