Ed Sheeran claims the UK chart double, landing at Number 1 on this week's Official Albums and Singles Charts.

The record, which includes duets with Bruno Mars, Cardi B and Eminem, performed well across all formats: 57,000 physical sales, 18,000 downloads and 70.2 million track streams.

The album’s opening-week figure outperforms the rest of this week’s Top 30 combined.

Ed’s three previous studio albums all appear in this week’s albums Top 40: Divide at 7, X at 18 (up 23 slots) and + at 37 (up 47 places).

On the Official Singles Chart, Ed claims his seventh Number 1 as Beautiful People ft. Khalid climbs from 3 to 1, while two more of the album’s songs feature in this week’s Top 5: Take Me Back To London ft. Stormzy is new 3, marking Ed’s 40th UK Top 40 single, and Cross Me ft. Chance The Rapper & PnB Rock at 4.

Back on this week’s Official Albums Chart, Lewis Capaldi’s Divinely Uninspired To A Hellish Extent – previously 2019’s fastest-selling title - slips to Number 2, and the A Star Is Born cast recording enjoys a boost back up the chart, zooming 20 places to Number 5 after launching on Sky Cinema this week.

Gerry Cinammon’s Erratic Cinematic hits a new peak at Number 17 after a string of live shows, and Jax Jones’ Snacks EP makes its Top 40 debut at 21 after 28 weeks in the Top 100.
