Sam Smith is in almost uncharted territory this week as he spends a second week at the top with his comeback single, "Too Good At Goodbyes", a feat he has only achieved once before - in 2015 with "Lay Me Down".
Here is Mr Smith with "Too Good At Goodbyes".
At Number 2 for a fourth week is Dua Lipa with her former Number One, "New Rules", while back up one place to 3 is Pink with "What About Us".
Down one to 4 is Taylor Swift with the current US Number One and former UK Number One, "Look What You Made Me Do", while brand new at Number 5 is a collaboration by two artists having their debut Top 10 hit. 22 year old Austin Richard Post is an American rapper born in Syracuse, New York, who performs under the name Post Malone. His only previous UK Top 40 entry was "Congratulations" which peaked at Number 28 last month, a track on which he was assisted by man of the moment, Quavo. His partner on this track is 24 year old Shayaa Bin Abraham-Joseph is a Dominican-born rapper who performs under the name 21 Savage.
This is "rockstar".
Back up one place to 6 is "Reggaeton Lento from CNCO & Little Mix, while Camila Cabello continues her upward climb, as "Havana" (which features Young Thug) moves up 3 places to 7 this week.
Down two places to 6 is "Friends" from Justin Bieber & BloodPop, while down 4 to 9 are Zayn & Sia with "Dusk Till Dawn".
A big climber this week moves up 11 places to Number 10, and gives Avicii his first Top 10 hit for two years, and Rita Ora her second of the year.
This is "Lonely Together".
Up 8 places to 20 this week is the collaboration between UK rapper Stefflon Don and Moroccan-American hip hop artist French Montana.
This is Hurtin' Me".
New at 24 this week is the third hit single from 1d member Niall Horan.
This is "Too Much To Ask".
New at Number 35 this week is Southampton's favourite son with his 27th UK hit single.
From Craig David, this is "Heartline".
Up twelve places to 52 this week is Mable (McVey) who is the daughter of singer Neneh Cherry and record producer Cameron McVey.
Featuring Kojo Funds, this is Finders Keepers".
Meanwhile, up 19 places to 54 this week, we have the highest climber on the chart. English singer Jorja Smith first came to the attention of the music industry as guest vocalist on two tracks on the recent Drake "album", "More Life".
Featuring Preditah, this is Jorja Smith with "On My Mind".
Up twelve places to 62 this week, this is Paloma Faith with "Crybaby".
As usual, I finish with tracks from the US & UK Number 1 albums. In the UK, congratulations go to Foo Fighters as "Concrete And Gold" becomes their fourth UK Number 1 album, and their first for 6 years.
From the album, here is the track which is currently Number 63 on the Singles chart, "The Sky Is A Neighborhood".
In the US, its a first time chart topper for US country artist Thomas Rhett, as his third album "Life Changes" takes top spot this week.
From the album, here is the current single, "Unforgettable".
