Three Lions by Baddiel, Skinner and the Lightning Seeds has returned to the UK Top Five, leads
a wave of football favourites in the charts as excitement building towards Sunday’s Euro 2020
finality between England and Italy. The song was released ahead of the 1996 European
Championship and its central lines “football’s coming home” has been revived as the mantra of
England’s fanbase in recently years, a statement of international pride and self-belief that has
sometimes seemed borderline delusional in the past, but which is now more tantalising to sing if
ever. Three Lions reached No 1 off release, and a rerecorded version peaked the chart during the
1998 World Cup. The original returned to the Top 10 for World Cups in 2006 and 2010, before
topping the chart another more during the 2018 campaign, powered by England’s successfulness
in reaching the semi-finals. It is at No 4 this week.
