Shridhar Subramaniam, president, India and Middle East, Sony Music, says, “We’ve never experienced this kind of fan following for any global artist in India. The band has more Facebook fans in India than in the UK even, and this release got them even more excited. In less than 24 hours, it was topping charts on all the Indian services. With the breaking of global Spotify record, we’re sure that the boys will set one here too."
