Weekly music charts for 2016

[CRAZY-HORSE]

UK singles chart overview 25th March 2016:

Congratulations to Mike Posner, who today notches up a second week at Number 1 on the Official Singles Chart with I Took A Pill In Ibiza (Seeb Remix).After a last minute grab for Number 1 on last week’s tally (the closest chart race in nearly a decade) the singer-songwriter comfortably manages to earn a second week at the top spot with 82,000 combined sales (including 4.1 million streams) – 11,000 ahead of his closest rival.
Mike Posner told OfficialChart.scom: “To be Number 1 in the UK is quite an honour. It’s very flattering to know this many people are listening to my music and enjoying it enough to give me money for it!”.

Meanwhile, Lukas Graham’s 7 Years holds at Number 2, Fifth Harmony’s Work From Home hits a new peak at Number 3 – matching their previous best with last year’s Worth It – and Zara Larsson’s Lush Life is at 4.
This week’s Top 5 is completed by Sigala’s Say You Do. The Imani and DJ Fresh collaboration leaps from 46 to 5 this week, giving the Norfolk-born producer his third consecutive Top 5 hit.

UK albums chart overview:

dele continues to prove unbeatable as she extends her lead the Official Albums Chart once again this week.
After a strong start from Manchester band James, who lead the way with their new album earlier this week, Adele’s 25 has since managed to overtake them to log itself at 12[SUP]th[/SUP] non-consecutive week at the summit. The feat means James are denied their first Number 1 album in 18 years.
James’ 14[SUP]th[/SUP] studio collection Girl At The End Of The World has to settle for second place, and Justin Bieber’s Purpose slides back a place to Number 3.

This week’s Top 5 is completed by Jess Glynne’s I Cry When I Laugh (4) and a new entry from Iggy Pop. His 17[SUP]th[/SUP] collection Post Pop Depression enters at Number 5, giving the rock star his first ever Top 10 album.
[h=4]New entries and high climbers[/h]British electronic group Underworld are new at Number 10 with their first album in six years, Barbara Barbara We Face A Shining Future, Primal Scream land at 12 with their 11[SUP]th[/SUP] record Chaosmosis, and Gwen Stefani enters at Number 14 with her third solo album This Is What The Truth Feels Like.
Further down the chart, Irish band Walking On Cars leap 12 places with Everything This Way, and three new albums finish inside the Top 40: Hans Zimmer & Junkie XL's Batman vs Superman - Dawn of Justice OST (31), rock band Room 94's Lost Youth (33), and 30 Goes Around The Sun by The Wonder Stuff (38).
