Drake has done it again: One Dance is once again the UK’s Number 1 song on the Official Singles Chart, logging a staggering 14th week at the top.
He faces strong competition from two songs that make big gains on the chart this week; Chainsmokers’ Don’t Let Me Down shoots from 7 to Number 2, and Jonas Blue’s Perfect Strangers up 13 places to Number 3 today. Both are now in a strong position to potentially snatch the title from Drake.
Making up the rest of this week’s Top 5 are Calum Scott’s Dancing On My Own, up from 10 to 4 and surpassing Robyn’s Number 8 peak with the original song in 2010, and Kungs vs Cookin’ On 3 Burners’ This Girl slips from 2 to 5.
This week’s highest new entry comes from Olly Murs’ You Don’t Know Love at 23, and three songs hit the Top 40 for the first time: Mo’s Final Song at 28 (up 25 places), Charlie Puth and Selena Gomez’s We Don’t Talk Anymore at 30 (up 19 spots), and Selena’s Kill Em With Kindness at 35 (up 22).
Seventh studio album Ellipsis follows their first Number 1, 2013's Opposites shifted 37,000 combined chart sales in total.
The Glastonbury effect continues to linger in the rest of the Top 5, with Adele's 25 at 2, Coldplay's A Head Full of Dreams at 4 and ELO's All Over The World at 5. Slotted between the Glasto gold is Drake's Views, which rises three places to Number 3.
