**‘What A Wonderful World’, a duet by the late Eva Cassidy and Katie Melua, has 
today reached number one in the Official UK Singles Chart. **

This is the first time the British Red Cross has ever benefited from a charity single
reaching number one.

Katie Melua, the biggest selling British female artist in the world in 2006, commented
on the chances of the single becoming the Christmas number one: “It would be amazing
if the single stayed at the top of the charts next week as that would mean a huge
amount of money had been raised.”

‘What A Wonderful World’ is only available in Tesco stores and by download at Tesco.
