U.K. CHARTS: DRAKE CLAIMS 3RD #1

Drake's mighty streaming stats have landed him a third #1 single in Blighty with "God's Plan" (Island). It rose to the top of the U.K.'s Official Singles Chart with 6.5m streams this week, the equivalent of 43k sales.

Over on albums, Fall Out Boy end at #2 with Mania (Virgin EMI) as The Greatest Showman soundtrack (Atlantic) claims a third week at #1 with 129k combined sales to date.

“God’s Plan” follows 2016’s summer smash “One Dance,” which spent 15 weeks at #1, and “What’s My Name” with Rihanna, which hit the top in Blighty in 2010. The second track to be released from Drake’s surprise Scary Hours EP, “Diplomatic Immunity,” enters at #21 this week. More Life, meanwhile, has enjoyed a boost with the release of new music, rising 14 places to #15 on the Official Albums Chart.

Elsewhere in the Official Singles Top 5, “Barking” (Polydor) by Ramz stays at #2, followed by “River” by Eminem f/Ed Sheeran at #3. Dua Lipa has a second Top 5 track with "IDGAF” (Warner Bros.) rising 10 places to #4 and “Tip Toe” (Warner Bros.) by Jason Derulo f/French Montana jumps three places to #5. “Breathe” (Polydor) by Jax Jones f/Ina Wroldsen is at #9.

Despite a midweek peak of #3, Sigrid’s “Strangers” (Island) is #14, a rise of 12 places.

Over on this week's Official Albums list, The Greatest Showman soundtrack has claimed 39k sales this week to stay at #1. Fall Out Boy have their third #2 album with Mania, while Columbia’s First Aid Kit land their first Top 10 with fourth album, Ruins, at #3.
