SINGLES

Json Derulo continues his reign at the top of this week’s Official Singles Chart with Want To Want Me.

The track’s 75,000 combined chart sales (including 2.07 million streams) over the last seven days keeps it in pole position on the tally for a second consecutive week.

Want To Want Me overtakes midweek leader Natalie La Rose, whose debut single Somebody FT Jeremih leaps 61 places to Number 2 following its full download release this week.

Meanwhile, OMI’s Cheerleader (Felix Jaehn Remix) is at 3 and is the week’s most-streamed song with 2.33 million plays, and Major Lazer, MO and DJ Snake’s Lean On jumps three spots to 4.

Rounding off the Top 5 and logging its fourth week in the Top 10 is Skrillex, Diplo and Justin Bieber’s Where Are U Now.

New entries and high climbers
This week’s highest new entry goes to Lawson, who land their seventh Top 20 hit at Number 11 with Roads.

US rapper Fetty Wap leaps five places and reaches a new peak at 15 with Trap Queen, and British producer DJ S.K.T makes his Top 40 debut at 19 with Take Me Away FT Rae.

Finally, Florence + The Machine notches up her ninth Top 40 hit with Ship To Wreck (27), and The Weeknd’s The Hills enters the Top 40 at 30.

ALBUMS

Florence + The Machine lands straight in at Number 1 on this week’s Official Albums Chart.

The singer’s third studio album How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful racked up combined sales of just under 70,000 to score her third chart-topping record, following 2009’s Lungs (which re-enters the Top 40 today at 18) and 2011’s Ceremonials.

Elsewhere in an almost all-new Top 5, Britain’s Got Talent winners Collabro enter at 2 with their second album Act Two, and Jamie xx is new at 3 with his debut solo album In Colour.

Simply Red’s Big Love lands at Number 4 and becomes his 13th Top 10 album, and Taylor Swift’s 1989 rounds off the Top 5. Since its release in November last year, the album has spent 31 of its 32 weeks in the Top 10, slipping out for just one week (to Number 11) back in April.

New entries
Punk band Slaves land at Number 8 with their debut album Are You Satisfied?, and rockers The Darkness debut at 12 with their fourth studio record Last Of Our Kind.

Jason Derulo’s fourth collection Everything Is 4 is new at Number 16, and Major Lazer’s third album Peace Is The Mission lands at 25.

The final new entries on this week’s Official Albums Chart Top 40 come from US singer-songwriter Melody Gardot, who enters at Number 31 with Currency Of Man, and indie-folk singer SOAK, whose debut Before We Forgot How To Dream lands at 37.
