Drake has done it again: One Dance is once again the UK’s Number 1 song on the Official Singles Chart, logging a staggering 14^th week at the top.

The rapper is fast approaching a chart record with the song; the longest stint at Number 1 on the Official Chart is 16 weeks, a record held by Bryan Adams’ 1991 hit (Everything I Do) I Do It For You. Will he hold on long enough to match or surpass them?

He faces strong competition from two songs that make big gains on the chart this week; Chainsmokers’ Don’t Let Me Down shoots from 7 to Number 2, and Jonas Blue’s Perfect Strangers up 13 places to Number 3 today. Both are now in a strong position to potentially snatch the title from Drake.

Making up the rest of this week’s Top 5 are Calum Scott’s Dancing On My Own, up from 10 to 4 and surpassing Robyn’s Number 8 peak with the original song in 2010, and Kungs vs Cookin’ On 3 Burners’ This Girl slips from 2 to 5.

Miami rapper Kent Jones climbs two places to crack to the Top 10 at 10 with Don’t Mind, and Shawn Mendes’ Treat You Better leaps 7 spots to Number 13.

This week’s highest new entry comes from Olly Murs’ You Don’t Know Love at 23, and three songs hit the Top 40 for the first time: Mo’s Final Song at 28 (up 25 places), Charlie Puth and Selena Gomez’s We Don’t Talk Anymore at 30 (up 19 spots), and Selena’s Kill Em With Kindness at 35 (up 22).
