The England football song Three Lions has dropped out of the singles chart in a dramatic fashion.

The Lightning Seeds' song plummeted from 1 to 97 in this week's countdown – the fastest ever fall from the top, said the Official Charts Company.

The record was previously held by the NHS Choir, whose charity cover of Bridge Over Troubled Water dropped from 1 to 29 in the first week of 2016.

First released in 1996, Three Lions was resurrected as England made the semi-finals of the World Cup.

It sold 80,000 copies as fans' hopes soared – but streams and downloads effectively ceased after the squad lost 2-1 to Croatia in the semi-finals.

Despite its precipitous fall from grace, the song, which is famous for the refrain "football's coming home", is still one of the biggest singles of all time in the UK, with total sales in excess of 1.6 million.
