There's a sting in the tail for anyone who tried to take on Drake this week – the Canadian rapper celebrates a second week at the top of the Official Albums Chart with Scorpion.

As last week, streaming has a big part to play in Scorpion's success, making up 90% of the album's sales total over the last seven days.

With The Greatest Showman moving back up one place to Number 2, the highest new entry this week belongs to Years & Years, whose sophomore album Palo Santo goes straight in at 3. Check out the Official Top 40 biggest albums of 2018 so far here.
