    While the fans are hoping for the song to be this week's No. 1, some are also pushing to keep it there for 22 weeks, in memory of the 22 people who died during the attack.

    Fans have chosen this particular song because footage of Ariana performing it at the Manchester concert before the attacks occurred went viral.

    Fans are feeling particularly emotional about these lines in the song: "So one last time / I need to be the one who takes you home / One more time / I promise, after that, I'll let you go."

    It appears that the song is fast becoming a poignant tribute to the event and the lives lost, with many radio stations choosing to play it immediately after the national one-minute silence was held in the UK today.
