Ariana Grande is at No.1 in the UK iTunes chart with 'One Last Time' following an online fan campaign after the Manchester Arena terrorist attack.

Fans have been downloading the 2015 hit to pay tribute to the victims of Monday night's atrocity, which killed 22 – including children, and injured almost 120 others.

'One Last Time' was the last song the 23-year-old pop star performed on her Dangerous Woman tour stop in Manchester, minutes before the bomb explosion in the foyer of the Arena.

It's also looking likely that 'One Last Time' will re-enter the Official Singles Chart Top 40 on Friday (May 26) – the Official Charts Company has confirmed the track climbed up to number 35 from outside the Top 200 overnight.

Twitter has been inundated with requests from fans asking others to purchase the digital download, with some sharing videos of Ariana performing the track, and one social media user poignantly pointing out how the song had taken on a "whole new meaning".

Meanwhile, Ariana's management has confirmed that her London O2 concerts this week (Thursday, May 25, and Friday, May 26) have been cancelled, and her Dangerous Woman tour is suspended until June 5.

The statement read: "Due to the tragic events in Manchester the Dangerous Woman tour with Ariana Grande has been suspended until we can further assess the situation and pay our proper respects to those lost.

"The London O2 shows this week have been cancelled, as well as all shows through June 5 in Switzerland. We ask at this time that we all continue to support the city of Manchester and all those families affected by this cowardice and senseless act of violence.

"Our way of life has once again been threatened but we will overcome this together. Thank you."

Ariana's manager Scooter Braun also paid tribute to the Manchester victims and condemned those responsible for the terrorist attack in series of emotional tweets, writing: "Manchester, I stand with you. Jakarta, I stand with you. Children of Syria, I stand with you. We will honor you by not giving in to the darkness.

"With extraordinary evil we must fight with extraordinary greatness. Fight on. Goodnight, world. Tomorrow I live full."

Various celebrities have expressed their sympathies for those who lost their lives and who were affected by the attacks. Harry Styles, Little Mix and Miley Cyrus are just some of those who've dedicated performances to the tragedy.
