It may be Friday the 13th, but Drake definitely has luck on his side as he claims a fifth week at Number 1 with One Dance.

Despite strong competition from Calvin Harris's This Is What You Came For, feat. Rihanna, and Justin Timberlake's surprise release Can't Stop The Feeling, Drake notched up an impressive 123,500 combined chart sales to hold on to the top spot.

The Canadian rapper has been having a great week when it comes to streaming, too. While he doesn't quite match the new record he set last week with 8.9 million listens, One Dance has racked up 8.37 million plays over the last seven days.

Calvin Harris and Rihanna's This Is What You Came For settles for another week at Number 2, and Justin Timberlake's Can't Stop The Feeling, taken from the soundtrack for upcoming movie Trolls, is new at 3.

Sia's Cheap Thrills slips a place to 4, while the former Number 1 from Mike Posner, I Took A Pill In Ibiza, continues its comedown, falling one spot to round off our Top 5.

New entries and high climbers

Not satisfied with dominating the Top 2, Drake and Rihanna have teamed up for a new entry, with Too Good, taken from Drake's chart-topping album Views, rising 18 places to Number 23.

will.i.am scores his 39th Top 40 hit this week, with Boys & Girls feat. Pia Mia leaping 16 places to Number 26, while Cheat Codes and Kris Kross Amsterdam score their very first – Sex is new at 35.

Drake's back again at 39, as Controlla climbs seven places, and Paradise, from Benny Benassi feat. Chris Brown rises four to 40.

Well my memory is saggin! Didn't realise Drake now has a 5th week at the top. Ironic he's beaten himself and his other half Rihanna(currently) . I still think JT will do it next week as he's performing at Eurovision 2016 to a 200+ million audience and that will boost him no end.
