Elton John and Dua Lipa climb to Number 1 on this week’s Official Singles Chart with Cold Heart (Pnau Remix) after three consecutive weeks at Number 2.

The mash-up collaboration reaches the peak with 64,000 chart sales, including 5.9 million streams and 5,000 copies on limited edition CD single. It marks Elton John’s eighth Number 1 single in the UK and first for 16 years, since his feature on 2Pac’s posthumous 2005 single Ghetto Gospel.

Meanwhile, Cold Heart earns Dua Lipa her third Number 1 hit in the UK following New Rules (2017) and One Kiss (2018).

Elton, who has recently undergone hip surgery, took a moment during his recovery to celebrate his Number 1 success.

Cold Heart’s success this week means Ed Sheeran’s four-week reign with Shivers comes to an end as it drops to Number 2. Across both Shivers and its predecessor Bad Habits, Ed spent a total of 15 consecutive weeks at Number 1 on the Official Singles Chart.

Dermot Kennedy climbs two to Number 24 with Better Days, while Sam Fender scores his first UK Top 40 single with Seventeen Going Under, flying into the chart at Number 26 following the release of his second album of the same name.

Finally, UK rapper Arz climbs five places to Number 31 with breakout hit Alone With You, and Scottish producer Ewan McVicar jumps eight to Number 34 with Tell Me Something Good, his first Official Top 40 hit.

It is an achievement but Elton didn’t have a number one single in the 80s or 10s. Unless you’re including albums?

I'm talking about pure Top10 hits in 6 different decades not #1s.

I agree, Adele Next Week Massive Contender for #1 With Easy On Me. Also Elton John & Elton has apprently a christmas song Coming saw this a while ago, i know people will call me a lie, than the truth, Trust me, The Real Christmas Charts is From 31st December Weekly (Based from Data From 24-30th December) the 24th/25th December On Air Branded as Christmas For Media, Radio & TV is A Week Earlier in terms with Sales, Streams and Unit, (17-23rd December Only) Never Includes Christmas Day Data at all, that Radio 1 and Top Of The Pops for you, never add At Christmas-Time, Why is It Called Christmas Charts ?????? When you calulate a important time like Christmas you have to include the 1st Day Of Christmas Data but for some Reason, the Branded charts doesn't, as It's before.

Well that should be a good contender..Would still like to see Fairytale Of New York finally do it like Mariah Carey did last year even if it wasn't in Xmas week.

Yeah in terms with the media, tv and radio its the week leading up to christmas day, but that's not at christmas sales or data at all, so really, it should not be called Christmas Charts it should be called the run up to christmas or near christmas charts, i think the week ending issue is silly and that the reason why it hasnt been investigated by the public, because i bet a large amount of people think the christmas charts is done all across chistmas time but the truth is, it not, it before christmas, so always go by the following week.
