You’ll never guess.<\/p>\n
1. \u00a0Ed Sheeran – “Shape of You”<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n That’s ten weeks, which would normally be a\u00a0big deal in its own right. \u00a0But\u00a0leave that aside. \u00a0Last week Sheeran swamped the top end of the chart,\u00a0placing all sixteen albums tracks from \u00f7 in the top 20, and taking nine slots in the top ten. \u00a0Now in the past, when album tracks have entered the singles chart\u00a0en masse<\/em>, they’ve mostly gone away after\u00a0the first week. \u00a0Not so here – Ed Sheeran\u00a0still<\/em> has nine slots in the top ten, and the entire album is still placing in the top 30. \u00a0Which makes my job a lot easier this week, since there’s\u00a0very little room for anyone else to enter the charts.<\/p>\n 8. \u00a0Ed Sheeran – “Supermarket Flowers”<\/a> For what it may be worth, these are both climbers, going up one place. \u00a0Everything else is\u00a0a non-mover in the top three, or going down, mainly thanks to some of the previous top ten hits starting to reassert themselves. \u00a0But the Chainsmokers and Coldplay (who rebound to 4) are still the only non-Ed Sheeran presence in the top ten. \u00a0For the second week running.<\/p>\n Yes, granted, this sort of thing only became possible in the streaming era. \u00a0But\u00a0we didn’t see this sort of domination when Beyonce released “Lemonade” last year.<\/p>\n
