Plus there are big climbers and new entries from Lukas Graham and Ariana Grande.

Rihanna simply won't budge from the top of the Billboard Hot 100 - she's logged a fifth stint at Number 1 this week.

Her Drake collaboration Work is ruling the US singles chart yet again, and RiRi's got an extra reason to celebrate this week as parent album Anti is also back at the summit on the Billboard 200 albums chart.

The album returned to Number 1 after four weeks away and marks the second time Rihanna has done the singles and albums double. She previously managed it back in 2012 when her single Diamonds and album Unapologetic ruled both charts.

Another big story coming out of the Billboard Hot 100 this week is the rise of Lukas Graham. 7 Years - which is the longest reigning Number 1 in the UK by a Danish act - has risen two places to Number 3, and is the biggest selling track Stateside for two weeks running.

Elsewhere, Justin Bieber's Sorry has equalled the record for the most successive weeks for a track that debuted in the Top 10. Bieber has already achieved the feat with What Do You Mean, and other tracks such as Maroon 5's Sugar and Nicki Minaj's Starships also are tied with Justin. One more week, and the accomplishment is solely his!

Finally, Ariana Grande's Dangerous Woman debuts at Number 10, making her the first artist to have three lead singles in a row start their Billboard Hot 100 journey within the Top 10. Ariana's debut single My Way landed in the very same position back in 2013, and Problem ft. Iggy Azalea dropped at Number 3 in 2014.

Here in the UK, Dangerous Woman was the highest new entry on this week's chart, marking her fifth Top 20 single.
