Hey Jude is now 2/1 with bookies to be UK Number One this month after Jude Bellingham's goal this weekend
The Beatles could hit the UK Number One top spot for only the second time in the last 60 years after Jude Bellingham's success at Euro 2024 has seen Hey Jude sung on the terraces.
UK Betting Sites now put the song at 2/1 to be Number One in the UK before the end of July with Bellingham and England continuing their Euros campaign with a win against Slovakia on Sunday.
Bellingham scored a 95th minute equaliser with an amazing bicycle kick to send the game to Extra-Time before a Harry Kane winner in that period saw the Three Lions get through to the next round.
21-year-old Jude's success will see Hey Jude sung more and more on the terraces and Coral now say there's a 33% chance that the Beatles classic hits the top spot in the music charts before July wraps up.
Music and Football has always come together with fans chanting on the terraces and this has seen related songs top the charts in previous World Cup and European Championship campaigns.
What the expert says...
OLBG look at further songs that could hit the top spot this month with the Euros continuing
Other England-related songs could well top the music charts this month with classic songs from the past on fans playlists throughout the Euros including Three Lions and World In Motion.
Those classic England tracks will always be popular when it comes to international tournaments but chants also make songs pick up like Hey Jude as spoken about above.
Bruce Springsteen's 'Dancing in the Dark' could well be a song that charts highly this month with Phil Foden's on fire being sang by England fans to that tune throughout the past fortnight.
