Welsh language song Yma O Hyd tops iTunes UK song chart

A song by folk singer and former Plaid Cymru president Dafydd Iwan has reached number one in the iTunes UK song chart, beating out Tones and I and The Weekend.
Yma O Hyd, which was originally recorded in 1981 and released in 1983, means "still here" in English.
Its success is partly due to a campaign by independence movement YesCymru.
Yma O Hyd is the title track to the artist's joint album with Welsh folk bank Ar Log.
