Lukas Graham have done it again! They score a fifth week at the top of the Official Singles Chart, breaking a new record in the process.

7 Years is officially the longest reigning Number 1 from a Danish act in UK chart history.

The four-piece were tied with Whigfield’s Saturday Night and Aqua’s Barbie Girl, which both reigned supreme over the Official Singles Chart for a whole month in 1994 and 1997 respectively.

Lukas Graham may have held onto the Number 1 spot for seven days longer, but they've still got another record to break – Whigfield and Aqua's tracks are both million sellers.

7 Years finished over 20,000 combined chart sales ahead of its nearest rival, and was the week's most streamed track, clocking up 4.52 million listens. It's also the longest consecutive chart topper since Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars logged six straight weeks starting from December 2014 through January 2015 with Uptown Funk. 

Mike Posner’s I Took A Pill In Ibiza climbs one place to Number 2. This gives Mike a new personal best on the Official Singles Chart. He's previously hit the Top 10 twice, with 2010's Cooler Than Me (5) and his feature on Cher Lloyd’s 2011 hit With Ur Love (4).

Completing the Top 5 are Rihanna and Drake's Work which slides to 3, Zara Larsson’s Lush Life, which stays put at 4, and Jonas Blue and Dakota's Fast Car, which is also a non-mover at 5.
