Sam Smith is in unprecedented territory this week as he spends a third week at Number 1, the first of his 6 Number Ones to spend as long on top.
Here is Mr Smith with "Too Good At Goodbyes".
Less than 700 sales behind is Post Malone featuring 21 Savage whose "Rockstar" moves up three places to Number 2 this week - a position they also hold in the US this week, while down one place after 4 weeks at Number 2 is Dua Lipa with "New Rules".
Climbing three more places to Number 4 are Camila Cabello & Young Thug with "Havana", while back up one place to 5 are CNCO & Little Mix with "Reggaeton Lento". Well done to the Little Mix girls for reaching 300 total weeks on the UK Singles chart this week.
Down three places to Number 6 is Pink with "What About Us", while back up two places to Number 7 are Zayn & Sia with "Till Dusk To Dawn".
Up 2 places to 8 are Avicii & Rita Ora with "Lonely Together", while down 5 to 9 is former Number One "Look What You Made Me Do" from Taylor Swift.
Back up one place to Number 10 is "More Than Friends" from James Hype & Kelli-Leigh.
After four weeks on the chart, its finally into the Top 20 - from 25 to 18 - for Maroon 5 featuring SZA.
This is "What Lovers Do".
Also climbing back up the chart this week, from 31 to 23, is Macklemore with his first hit without partner Ryan Lewis.
Featuring Skylar Grey, this is "Glorious".
Up seven places to 28, giving him his 21st UK Top 30 hit, here is Craig David with "Heartline".
The second highest climber this week moves up 23 places to Number 29, and is by Mable (McVey) who is the daughter of singer Neneh Cherry and record producer Cameron McVey.
Featuring Kojo Funds, this is Finders Keepers".
The highest new entry of the week debuts at Number 30, and is the debut hit from YouTube star Big Shaq.
This is "Man's Not Hot".
Back into the Top 40 at Number 34, is the "new" fourth single from Ed Sheeran's "Divide" album. "Perfect" was one of the seventeen tracks from the album which dominated the Top 20 back on March 10th this year, where it peaked at Number 4.
Here is Ed with "Perfect".
This week's highest climber finally hits the Top 40 after 4 weeks on the chart. Up 26 places to Number 36, it gives Paloma Faith her first Top 40 entry since "Only Love Can Hurt Like This" in early 2015.

Up 8 places to Number 52 this week is 19 year old Khalid (Legend Robinson).
This is "Young, Dumb & Broke".
As usual, I finish with tracks from the US & UK Number 1 albums. In the UK, congratulations go to the Killers as they become the first non-British band to have their first five albums hit Number One.
From the album, "Wonderful Wonderful", here is the current single, "The Man".
