Congratulations to Little Mix, who land straight in at Number 1 on this week’s Official Singles Chart with Shout Out To My Ex.

The track notched up an impressive 95,000 combined sales to take the top spot this week following the group’s show stopping performance of the song on last Sunday’s X Factor results show. 67,000 of its sales were downloads – the biggest opening week download sales for a song this year.

Watch the group celebrate their new Number 1 single with Official Charts below: 

Shout Out To My Ex marks Little Mix’s fourth Number 1 on the Official Singles Chart, following Cannonball (2011), Wings (2012) and Black Magic (2015). Click here to check out Little Mix's full Official Chart history.

It’s only the third track to debut straight in at the top this year, following Zayn Malik’s Pillowtalk in February and Major Lazer, Justin Bieber and MO’s Cold Water in August. Little Mix’s feat is made all the more impressive given that the song was released on Sunday evening, giving it little over four days of sales.

New entries and high climbers

Singer and actress Hailee Steinfeld claims her first UK Top 10 today with her Grey and Zedd collaboration Starving, up 12 places to Number 5, and Sexual by Swedish producer Neiked zooms 12 spots to Number 12.

So this song can get to number 1 but Shawn Mendes' new song only manages #40? Well, it can climb

I'm so happy for them, I've loved Little Mix since they released Wings and it's amazing to see how far they have come.

Congratulations to Little Mix on their 4th #1 hit in the UK! I loved 'Shout Out To My Ex' from 1st listen & their performance on it on the X Factor last Sunday was great. :)
