Thrift Shop tops the Official Streaming Chart for a third week

Macklemore and Ryan Lewis’ Thrift Shop is the UK’s most listened to track for a third week running.

It’s been three weeks since they first topped the Official Streaming Chart, but the British public’s love of Macklemore and Ryan Lewis’ ode to bargain hunting shows no sign of letting up. Thrift Shop has maintained pole position on the Official Streaming Chart for a third week running.

Meanwhile, Avicii Vs Nicky Romero’s I Could Be The One soars 21 places from Number 23 to Number 2 on this week’s Chart. The Top five is completed by Lumineers’ Ho Hey (Number 3), Calvin Harris’ Drinking From The Bottle FT Tinie Tempah (Number 4) and Will.I.Am’s Scream And Shout FT Britney Spears (Number 5).
