Ariana Grande has topped the iTunes chart with her single One Last Time after fans launched a campaign to get the track to Number one in the wake of the Manchester terror attack.

Grande, 23, was performing at Manchester arena when suicide bomber Salman Abedi detonated an explosive, killing 22 people and injuring dozens, on Monday night.

Fans have been downloading the song in tribute to the victims of the devastating attack.

People are also sharing clips of Grande singing the poignant song during the concert.

The single, from her album My Everything, looks set to re-enter the Top 40 on this week’s Official Singles Chart after climbing from outside the Top 200 overnight to Number 35.

The track originally peaked at Number 24 on its release in back in June 2015.

Grande has cancelled a string of dates on the European leg of her Dangerous Woman tour in order to pay her “proper respects to those lost”.

The pop superstar, who tweeted that she had been left “broken” by the attack, had been due to perform at London's O2 arena on Thursday and Friday.

Grande also released a joint statement with her manager Scooter Braun, telling fans they will ‘never let evil win’.

Tom Hardy launched a JustGiving page to “raise some funds as a gesture of goodwill and love” for The British Red Cross because “the families and children will need support”.

The Taboo actor described the attack as an “inconceivable atrocity” and urged fans “to help in some small way towards repairing some if any of the damage done”.

Titled Tom Hardy's Manchester Emergency Fund, the page has raised £18,000 – surpassing its £15,000 target.
