UK Charts: One Direction’s Drag Me Down #1 and breaks record
Quote:
One Direction make a glorious return to the Official Singles Chart today as Drag Me Down not only enters straight in at Number 1, but sets a new streaming record.
The group’s first single as a quartet, following the departure of Zayn Malik in March, debuts at the top of this week’s tally and earns the highest first-week streams for a single ever in the UK, racking up 2.03 million plays in its opening week across chart-reporting streaming services such as Spotify, Deezer, Apple Music and more.

Congrats to 1D for showing more singles power than their last couple of eras
Although I support streaming in general, it's so frustrating to see songs underperforming because they had sales but no streaming like Foxes missing the top 20 despite being #7 on iTunes all week long, and the same with Joe Stone this week
