Essex rock band Koopa have made chart history by becoming the first unsigned band to land a UK top 40 hit.
Under new chart rules their download-only single Blag, Steal & Borrow debuted at number 31.
Chart rules were changed at the start of the year to allow digital single sales to count towards a chart position even if there is no CD version.
