his previous albums\u00a0<em>+<\/em> and\u00a0<em>x<\/em> both got to number 1, and\u00a0<em>x<\/em> stayed there for 13 weeks,\u00a0as well as producing two number one singles, <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/tlYcUqEPN58\" target=\"_blank\">&#8220;Sing&#8221;<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/lp-EO5I60KA\" target=\"_blank\">&#8220;Thinking Out Loud&#8221;<\/a>. \u00a0So this was always\u00a0going to be a big release. \u00a0Keeping up the mathematical symbol theme, the album&#8217;s apparently going to be called \u00f7.<\/p>\n<p>A lot of his songs fall into an\u00a0instantly recognisable ballad style,\u00a0which was fully in evidence\u00a0when he wrote <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/E9WStCiCdOU\" target=\"_blank\">last year&#8217;s\u00a0<em>X Factor<\/em> winner&#8217;s single<\/a>. \u00a0But <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/ZXvzzTICvJs\" target=\"_blank\">he&#8217;s always deviated from it from time to time<\/a>, and &#8220;Shape of You&#8221;\u00a0revives his occasional dalliance with the clubs. \u00a0It&#8217;s his third number one, following &#8220;Sing&#8221; and &#8220;Thinking Out Loud&#8221;, both from 2014. \u00a0&#8220;Castle on the\u00a0Hill&#8221; is\u00a0rather more\u00a0familiar, though the arrangement\u00a0gives it more of an FM rock element than usual. \u00a0Oh, and whether you&#8217;re looking at sales or streaming, it&#8217;s the same\u00a0result. \u00a0The previous\u00a0record for streams in a single week was 8.9m. \u00a0Sheeran obliterates that, with\u00a0&#8220;Shape of You&#8221; reaching 13.7m streams on top of 137,000 actual sales. \u00a0Part of this is the continuing growth in the streaming market, and it illustrates why last week&#8217;s re-weighting may end up having only a transitory effect.<\/p>\n<p>The previous album\u00a0<em>x<\/em> re-enters the album chart at number 8, and + re-enters at 20, which is pretty remarkable.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/9ORWF5RkdO0\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>7. \u00a0JP Cooper &#8211;

&#8220;You Want Me&#8221;<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>This\u00a0has been hanging around since early December and originally peaked at 25, but it&#8217;s mounting a comeback in the new year lull.<\/p>\n<p><strong>23. \u00a0Machine Gun Kelly &amp;

she officially left in December, after this record had been released abroad. \u00a0It&#8217;s her first UK solo hit. \u00a0The song takes its chorus from <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/6uEJXodcME0\" target=\"_blank\">&#8220;Out of My Head&#8221; by Fastball<\/a>, which was a minor hit in the US in 1998; the group&#8217;s only UK hit was <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/b0wfu3tOrtQ\" target=\"_blank\">&#8220;The Way&#8221;<\/a>, which made number 21 that same year. \u00a0(I recognised it when it got to the chorus. \u00a0Before that, I was thinking, &#8220;Isn&#8217;t this\u00a0just Delilah?&#8221;)<\/p>\n<p><strong>28. \u00a0Sean Paul featuring Dua Lipa &#8211;

by Clean Bandit, of course, but he&#8217;s still not getting a credit for that. \u00a0So this is his first\u00a0single chart credit since 2014,\u00a0and his first as lead artist since 2013. \u00a0Dua Lipa had a couple of minor hits last year with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=fEOyePhElr4\" target=\"_blank\">&#8220;Hotter Than Hell&#8221;<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=1nydxbGhgv8\" target=\"_blank\">&#8220;Blow Your Mind (Mwah)&#8221;<\/a> (yes, it had a kissing noise gimmick). \u00a0This is&#8230; alright, I guess?<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=OM33anTtEVE\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>29. \u00a0Charli XCX featuring Lil Yachty &#8211; &#8220;After The Afterparty&#8221;<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Up two, and finally dragging itself into the top 30 over\u00a0a month after it entered the top 40. \u00a0Maybe I wrote this one off a little too soon, it&#8217;s showing more staying power than I expected.<\/p>\n<p><strong>32. \u00a0Robin Schulz &amp;

and Cheat Codes had a top ten hit last year with <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/OORoOGY8D2M\" target=\"_blank\">&#8220;Sex&#8221;<\/a>, a cover of Salt N&#8217; Pepa&#8217;s &#8220;Let&#8217;s Talk About Sex&#8221;. \u00a0Cheat Codes are actually a trio, but that&#8217;s one of them singing.<\/p>\n<p><strong>33. \u00a0Snakehips &amp;
