U.K. CHARTS: TOP 3 ALBUMS SEE SALES RESURGE

While Atlantic's Clean Bandit (pictured) spend a fourth week at the Official Singles summit, a renewed surge in sales for Little Mix, Michael Ball & Alfie Boe and Elvis Presley has scuppered Kate Bush earning her first #1 album in Blighty for 30 years, as Before the Dawn (Noble + Brite) ends the week at #4. Where's The Weeknd?

Sony’s Little Mix have scored a second week at the Official Albums summit with Glory Days (SYCO) notching up another 57k combined sales this week, bringing its total to 153k.

Michael Ball and Alfie Boe’s popular Together (Decca) is 2k copies behind, rebounding two places to #2 during its fourth week inside the Top 5. Elvis Presley’s The Wonder of You (Sony Music CG) also rises two places to #3.

The Weeknd is the highest new entry at #5 with Starboy (Island)—this week’s most streamed album in Blighty. The set follows 2015's U.K. #1 Beauty Behind the Madness.

Over on the Official Singles Chart, Clean Bandit’s “Rockabye” (Atlantic) f/Anne-Marie and Sean Paul has now spent four weeks at #1 with 82.5k combined sales over the last seven days (40m downloads and 4.24m streams). It’s the group's second single to tally four weeks at the chart summit following 2014's “Rather Be.” Both tracks were used to help break rising stars, with Jess Glynne starring on the latter and Anne-Marie a 2017 Brits Critics’ Choice contender.

“Black Beatles” (Polydor) by Rae Sremmurd f/Gucci Mane is #2 and The Weeknd’s “Starboy” f/Daft Punk (Island) is #3. James Arthur’s “Say You Won’t Let Go” (SYCO) is #4 and Little Mix’ “Shout Out to My Ex” (SYCO) is #5. Further down, “Human” (Columbia), by BRITs Critics’ Choice nominee Rag’N’Bone Man, has risen 66 places to #11.
