Further down the Top 40, George Michael features once more with Twenty Five at Number 13, up 32 spots. Another artist returning to the Top 40 this week is Ed Sheeran.

Sundara Karma's debut album Youth Is Only Ever Fun in Retrospect lands at 17 at the halfway mark this week, while The Shires' My Universe, boosted by a TV advertising campaign, rises six spots to Number 24.

Finally, Ed Sheeran's debut record + charges back into the Top 40 from 98 to Number 27, a smidgen ahead of David Bowie's final studio collection Blackstar; a few days removed from what would have been David's 70th birthday, his last LP of work flies 48 positions to Number 28.
