Ed Sheeran's grip on the Official Singles Chart isn't loosening easily - the Suffolk-born singer has now spent four weeks holding the Top 2 positions.

Shape of You notched up sales of 47,000 and 8.8 million streams to keep the top spot this week. In just four weeks, the song has sold a total of 306,000 copies and has been streamed 42.9 million times.

Ed's streak of domination now matches the all-time record held by Justin Bieber, whose tracks Love Yourself and Sorry also held Number 1 and 2 in the chart for four weeks on the bounce in November and December 2015.
