Chart Listings: UK : Work #3, 7 Years #1 | Adele back at #1, 8th week

Starkboy

She's been in the wilderness for a while, but today Adele says a big hello to the top of the Official Albums Chart once again.

After ceding the Number 1 spot to David Bowie and Coldplay for five weeks, Adele's 25 is back on top following the star's powerful performance at Sunday's Grammys in LA. This gives 25 an eighth non-consecutive week at Number 1.

David Bowie's hits retrospective and former chart-topper Best of Bowie climbs back up a place to 2, while Justin Bieber's Purpose also advances a spot to Number 3.

Highest new entry of the week goes to Ronan Keating, scoring his eighth Top 10 hit with ninth studio album Time Of My Life, and completing the Top 5 is last week's Number 1 from Coldplay, with A Head Full Of Dreams.

Lukas Graham continue their reign over the Official Singles Chart as 7 Years notches up a second week at Number 1.

The Danish quartet racked up 134,000 combined sales (including 5.18 million streams) to hold on to this week’s top spot – almost 30,000 more than their chart sales total last week.

7 Years holds off Zayn’s Pillowtalk, which logs a second week at Number 2, Rihanna’s Work hits at new peak at Number 3, Jonas Blue & Dakota’s Fast Car is at 4, and Shawn Mendes’ Stitches completes the Top 5.

Lush Life by Zara Larsson jumps seven spots to Number 9 this week, marking her first UK Top 10 as a headline artist.

Further down the tally, Coldplay’s Hymn For The Weekend leaps six places to hit a new peak at 17, Twenty One Pilots’ Stressed Out moves from 34 to 21, and Adele’s When We Were Young zooms ten places to a new high of 23.

Queen.

Absolutely. The album isn't very euro-centric.
