Adele triumphs for fifth week at Number 1 with Easy On Me

As Adele’s highly anticipated new album 30 drops today, the star triumphs once again on the Official Singles Chart, landing a fifth consecutive week at Number 1 with Easy On Me. 

Easy On Me now ties with Someone Like You for Adele’s longest-running Number 1 on the Official Chart. With over 67,000 chart sales and 7.6 million streams, it wins another hotly-contested chart battle with Ed Sheeran’s Shivers, which holds at Number 2.

The highest new entry this week comes courtesy of Taylor Swift with All Too Well (10 Minute Version) at Number 3, her 18th Top 10 single. Two more tracks from Red (Taylor’s Version) also make big debuts on the Official Singles Chart this week; State of Grace (Taylor’s Version) and Red (Taylor’s Version) enter at Numbers 18 and 22 respectively.

A1 x J1 rises four to Number 10. It’s also A1 x J1’s second UK Top 10, following breakout smash Latest Trends earlier this year.
