Lewis Capaldi keeps his place at the top of the charts with Someone You Loved, denying Lil Nas X the Number 1 spot with his viral hit Old Town Road. 

Someone You Loved logs 69,000 combined sales this week, including 8.16 million streams, to score a seventh week at the top of the Official Singles Chart.

Look back at every Number 1 single in UK chart history here.

It means Lil Nas X has to settle for second place with Old Town Road The hip-hop-meets-country song, which went viral thanks to the 'Yeehaw Challenge' meme where people film themselves transforming into cowboys, vaults 37 places to Number 2.

Well done Lewis. Keep it going. Don´t let the UK Charts get the same stupid No. 1 like the Billboard Charts (US).

Lil Nas is indeed an overrated artist...still number 1 in the Billboard Hot 100 for 19 weeks and counting!! OMG, American people have no taste!! at least Mariah Carey and her sublime ONE SWEET DAY deserved it!!

Good week overall! :)
I think 'Old Town Road' will get the #1 next week, but I'm impressed it made such a massive gain on the current chart.
Really happy to see the climbs for 'Piece Of Your Heart' & 'All Day & Night' too!
