Meghan Trainor wins battle of the booty as Nicki Minaj finishes Top 3

Meghan Trainor has claimed a second week at Number 1 on the Official Singles Chart with All About That Bass.

The track was locked in a chart battle of the butts earlier this week with Nicki Minaj’s booty-shaking Anaconda, but has since stormed ahead to shift another 100,000 copies this week.

Meanwhile, Anaconda is this week’s highest new entry at Number 3, behind her Jessie J and Ariana Grande collaboration Bang Bang at Number 2. Anaconda - which samples Sir Mix-a-Lot’s Baby Got Back - serves as the latest single from her forthcoming album The Pink Print, which is due out later this year.

Taylor Swift’s Shake It Off is at Number 4 and claims this week’s most streamed track with over 1.4 million streams, and Jeremih debuts at Number 5 with Don’t Tell ‘Em. The song, which features YG, marks the US R&B singer’s biggest UK hit to date after 2009’s Birthday Sex peaked at 15.

New entries

Ella Henderson lands at Number 7 on today’s tally with Glow. The song follows her chart-topping debut Ghost, which Official Charts recently revealed was the most-downloaded song this summer. Ella’s album, Chapter One, is released next week.

Dance trio Luvbug, which is fronted by former JLS star Marvin Humes, enter at Number 13 with Resonance, and Usher’s She Came To Give It To You is new at 16. The Nicki Minaj-assisted track marks his 27th Top 40 single as a lead or featured artist.

Finally, a cover of The Beach Boys’ classic God Only Knows – which features 26 global musicians including Sir Elton John, One Direction, and Kylie Minogue – enters the chart at Number 20 after only four days on sale. The song was unveiled earlier this week alongside a stunning music video to coincide with the launch of BBC Music, with proceeds from the song going to Children In Need.
