Ed Sheeran records another week of strong sales with his ÷ album on this week’s Official Chart.

The singer-songwriter once again holds the top spots on the Official Albums Chart and Official Singles Chart simultaneously this week, with ÷ logging a third stint at Number 1 and single Shape Of You racking up its 11th week at the summit.

Drake was Ed’s closest competition this week – his seventh album More Life lands at Number 2 with 63,000 equivalent sales. Meanwhile, Vera Lynn enters at 3 with her new album 100, setting a huge UK chart record in the process.
