Drake may only be asking for One Dance, but it’s a long one – he doesn’t show much sign of leaving the dancefloor any time soon.

The Canadian rapper has notched up 92,500 combined chart sales to score an impressive seventh consecutive week at the top, giving him the longest run of 2016 so far.

One Dance also claims the longest straight stint at Number 1 since Leona Lewis’s Bleeding Love also enjoyed a seven-week reign atop the Official Singles Chart in autumn 2007.

Drake’s One Dance, feat. Wizkid and Kyla, was the most streamed track of the last seven days too, racking up almost 6.68 million plays this week.

Despite a close battle earlier in the week, Justin Timberlake’s Can’t Stop The Feeling remains at 2, while Calvin Harris and Rihanna’s This Is What You Came For (3) and Sia’s Cheap Thrills (4) are also non-movers.

US singer Gnash makes a big leap – his breakthrough song I Hate U, I Love U zooms 21 places to Number 12 – while Cheat Codes and Kris Kross Amsterdam advance ten spots to Number 20 with Sex.

Take That score a 27th Top 40 hit thanks to their guest spot on Sigma’s Cry, new at Number 21, and Australian trio Cookin’ On 3 Burners team up with French producer Kungs on This Girl, which rockets 62 places to land at Number 29.

Craig David’s One More Time is brand new at 30, and following her mesmerising performance at the Billboard Music Awards, Pink’s Just Like Fire returns to the Top 40, rising eight to 36.

Drake’s One Dance holds on to Number 1 on this week’s Official Singles Chart, logging a sixth week at the top.

The rapper/singer sees off strong competition from Justin Timberlake’s Can’t Stop The Feeling, which after leading the way at the mid-week stage, has to settle for Number 2.

It was a close race between the two: One Dance finishes the week on 105,000 chart sales (including 7.5 million streams), while Can’t Stop The Feeling notched up 99,000.

Drake’s sixth week at the top also gives him the longest-leading Official Chart Number 1 of 2016 so far – and the longest since Mark Ronson’s seven weeks at the summit with Uptown Funk in 2014/2015.

Calvin Harris and Rihanna’s This Is What You Came For dips a place to three this week, while Sia’s Cheap Thrills holds at 4, as does Mike Posner’s I Took A Pill In Ibiza at 5.

Two songs make sizeable leaps to enter thes Top 10 for the first time this week; Desiigner’s Panda, up five spots to Number 7, and Drake and Rihanna’s Too Good zooms 15 places to Number 8.

This week’s highest new entry goes to The Stone Roses. Their first brand new release in 21 years All For One debuts at Number 17, earning the band a 13th Top 40 hit.

Further down this week’s Official Singles Chart Top 40, X Factor alumni Reggie ‘N’ Bollie land at Number 26 with New Girl. The track is the duo’s first since finishing second place on last year’s series to Louisa Johnson.

Elsewhere, Gareth Malone’s Invictus Games Choir are new at 29 with Flesh And Blood – the theme to this year’s games – and US singer/rapper/producer Gnash makes his UK Top 40 debut with I Hate You, I Love You, up 12 places to 33.

It may be Friday the 13th, but Drake definitely has luck on his side as he claims a fifth week at Number 1 with One Dance.

Despite strong competition from Calvin Harris’s This Is What You Came For, feat. Rihanna, and Justin Timberlake’s surprise release Can’t Stop The Feeling, Drake notched up an impressive 123,500 combined chart sales to hold on to the top spot.

The Canadian rapper has been having a great week when it comes to streaming, too. While he doesn’t quite match the new record he set last week with 8.9 million listens, One Dance has racked up 8.37 million plays over the last seven days.

Calvin Harris and Rihanna’s This Is What You Came For settles for another week at Number 2, and Justin Timberlake’s Can’t Stop The Feeling, taken from the soundtrack for upcoming movie Trolls, is new at 3.

Sia’s Cheap Thrills slips a place to 4, while the former Number 1 from Mike Posner, I Took A Pill In Ibiza, continues its comedown, falling one spot to round off our Top 5.

Not satisfied with dominating the Top 2, Drake and Rihanna have teamed up for a new entry, with Too Good, taken from Drake’s chart-topping album Views, rising 18 places to Number 23.

will.i.am scores his 39th Top 40 hit this week, with Boys & Girls feat. Pia Mia leaping 16 places to Number 26, while Cheat Codes and Kris Kross Amsterdam score their very first – Sex is new at 35.

And the love for One Dance is going anywhere yet: this week the song racks up 141,000 chart sales – it’s biggest one-week total yet. It also sets a new one-week streaming record, notching up a massive 8.95 million streams over the last week, beating his own record set last week.

Meanwhile, Calvin and Rihanna’s This Is What You Came For settles for second place with 107,000 combined sales, earning Calvin his 20th Top 10 single. See his full Official Chart history here.
