Will.I.Am and Britney Spears hold on to Official Streaming Chart lead

Brit.I.Am top the UK’s Official Streaming Chart for a second week running with Scream And Shout.

They may have lost their Number 1 position on the Official Singles Chart to Bingo Players FT Far East Movement’s Get Up (Rattle) last Sunday, but Will.I.Am and Britney Spears’ Scream And Shout is still the UK’s most listened to track!

The US duo spend a second week at Number 1 on the Official Streaming Chart. The Official Streaming Chart is compiled by the Official Charts Company on behalf of the British music industry, and is the only chart which ranks audio streams from both ad-funded and subscription streaming services in the UK.

The rest of the Top 5 remain static with 2012 X Factor winner James Arthur at Number 2 with Impossible, Bruno Mars’ Locked Out Of Heaven at Number 3, The Lumineers' Ho Hey at Number 4 and Rihanna’s Diamonds at Number 5.
