"Sing" entered the UK Singles Chart at number 11 having sold number 32,460 copies of the single, despite having been released on the Monday rather than the Sunday as is the case with most newly released singles. He said that they "did all the melodies in an afternoon and then I waited to do the lyrics until I got to Kenya". B ...

" [14] "Sing" also entered the Netherlands Top 100 at 69 and peaked at 88 in Belgium. [4], It was announced in January that six-time Ivor Novello recipient Gary Barlow and world-renowned composer Andrew Lloyd Webber would be working together to write the official Diamond Jubilee single. The song was handed over to the Queen at the beginning of May, with Barlow and Lloyd Webber presenting her a framed copy of the sheet music whilst also performing the song to her for the first time. He continues by calling the accompanying video "a delight, beginning with Barlow pressing play on a CD in front of Prince Charles – and going on to show him recording singers from Jamaica, Kenya, Australia and the Solomon Islands, as well as our own Military Wives Choir and some Scottish bagpipers. As Prince Charles had predicted, she was most interested in the people on the screen – 'What are they playing and where are they and who are they?’. The official music video for Sing premiered on 18 May 2012, via Barlow's official YouTube account. Barlow and Lloyd Webber aimed to write the music to the song before Barlow would travel The Commonwealth looking for musicians, singers and contributors and begin writing the lyrics and producing the song as he visited remote villages and countries from across the Caribbean, Africa, the Pacific Islands and Australasia to find singers to perform in front of the Queen. But if anyone can teach the world to sing in perfect harmony it is Barlow, who is well used to writing songs that suit stadiums." Barlow said of the project: "This is probably the biggest challenge I've ever taken on musically. [15] "Sing"'s sales week-on-week rose by 338.91% in its second week and were the highest weekly sale for a number one for 25 weeks. Queen's Jubilee - by Queen Lili`uokalani Mahalo piha, Mōʻī ʻo ʻEnelani Kuʻi kou kaulana nā ʻāina pau Na kai ākau nā one hema ʻIkea kou ʻihi mana nui Eia mākou i kou kapa kai Lloyd Webber echoed these views and stated: "It is a huge honour to be involved in this historic occasion and I am looking forward very much to working with Gary. The final record features more than two-hundred singers and musicians, including a guest appearance from Prince Harry on tambourine, the African Children's Choir, the Kibera Drummers from Kenya as well as the Military Wives Choir conducted by Gareth Malone, well-known musicians such as reggae duo Sly Dunbar and Robbie Shakespeare, and ska guitarist Ernest Ranglin. It's so inclusive it even lets Prince Harry have a go, giving a tambourine a bash." "[6], The lyrics were written by Barlow whilst visiting villages in Kenya, where Princess Elizabeth had been visiting when she was told that her father King George VI had died and that she had ascended to the throne.
