You may have heard this as the backing track for George Sampson's semi-final and final performances on Britain's Got Talent. It was originally released in 2005 and since George's performances, it has reached #20 on the iTunes chart.

[Sam]

Loving this version, I downloaded it :thumbs:

[Chrizzle]

Ive always liked this remix- and now George has reminded me how good it is

[Bells]

The remix is brilliant, and George seems to have made it even cooler in Britain.

[xDramatick]

I love this =]

[Arneldo]

Love it! It's so addictive aswell. It just makes me wanna dance now, but I cant dance :sad: :laugh:

I love it

[Xander]

I used to play this loads when it was released in 2005, still love this song.

[Tom]

What song is sampled about 30 seconds in? I know what it is but I can't for the life of me think of the name.

[Tasha_x]

I've always loved this

[Conor]

I remember hearing this when it came out, its been done really well. My dad loves it too lol

[Matt08]

Singin' In the Rain is now #7 on iTunes so it'll most likely feature in next week's chart show.

It's at #2 now on iTunes so we could end up seeing this go to number one in the next few weeks on the chart show. It might even push Rihanna off top spot!

:shocked:

I was itunes 20 minutes ago and it was at #3, now its at #2!
Must be down to last night.

[Sam]

I think it's definately a contender for No.1 next week. The novelty may wear off but I hope not - it's great.

[Callum]

I dont think this song will be number 1 next week to be honest, I mean it's only really popular now because it was used in Georges dance through BGT, people will forget about it next week.

[Sam]

Well , next week is going to be a slow week of sales, and being at the top of iTunes chart can only attract more interest. I think it's a contender - but will it get enough sales by the end of the week? I don't know, but it's definately a dark horse contender.

[*mazedsalv**]

Do you think it will be on the Top 40 today?

[Xander]

It will still chart next week looking at the position its already in. It's not like it is going drop 38 places by end of next week?

Don't think so, but it might just edge top 40.

[Callum]

If it's still doing good next week, i think it might get number 2, but i don't think number 1, Rihanna's sales are immense.

[Xander]

:shocked:

Its gone to #1 in the itunes chart!

[xe]

Number 2 now

[Sam]

Can't believe it got to #1 on iTunes chart. Just goes to show the effect a TV show can have.

[Arneldo]

It's at #9 on the Irish iTunes chart atm.

[ProjectWeirdo]

I absolutely love this song... I'm gonna download it later!!

[Sam]

Re-entry at #23 in this weeks chart. :shocked:

Me too, hehe. XD

I think George whats-his-face really helped boost its popularity.

[Jack_]

Apparently this is #1 on the midweeks chart! :shocked:

If this gets to #1 I'll be really impressed! Not only will George of won BGT, but made a song go straight to #1!

Now that would be impressive!:cheer:

He wowed the country with his unforgettable break-dancing routine on Britian's Got Talent, and now George Sampson's success has even transferred over to the music charts. The track which the plucky 14-year-old chose to dance to – a Mint Royale remix of the classic Singing In The Rain – has stormed straight to the top of the midweek charts, zooming ahead of Duffy, Rihanna and the Ting Tings. The catchy tune, which you may recognise from this advert for Volkswagen Golf, went perfectly with George's rain-themed routine. A spokesman for London firm DDB, who were behind the VW advert, said, "We are pleased for George and his big win on Saturday. We're flattered that he was inspired by our famous commercial." We've had another listen to the remix now and we have to admit, it's pretty good. But what do you folks think? Will you be downloading it quicker than you can say "Gin the dog likes disco dancing", or do you think all this excitement is a bit wet?

[Loukas]

I looked up the same video just after George danced to it in the semis, it had like 25,000 views now it has 299,000!!! WOW! Mint Royale are going to L.O.V.E. George for this!! Well Done George!! A* Song too!! Class!! :hello:

[BigSister]

i didnt know this was the song george danced too till i heard it on the box this morning but i love it ^_^

[Callum]

I hate this song now. Finally it has dropped 3 places on iTunes chart, moving it down to #4. It's just I hear it all the time, and it gets real boring. I can't see it being number one much longer.
