Congratulations to Sigala, who scores his first chart-topper this week with Easy Love. The track - which samples Jackson 5’s 1970 Top 10 hit ABC - has racked up a combined chart sales figure of over 82,000 this week, rocketing 71 places to secure the Number 1 position following its full sales release.

 

Sigala told OfficialCharts.com: “This is so amazing. I had no idea this would ever be a Number 1 record. I wrote this song in my bedroom on a Sunday evening after a couple of beers. I had no idea it would go to the top of the charts!”

Elsewhere, Justin Bieber earns himself a place in the Official Charts history books today as What Do You Mean? breaks the UK’s all-time streaming record, clocking up 3.87 million plays in the last seven days. The feat means Justin overtakes previous record-holder Wiz Khalifa’s See You Again feat. Charlie Puth, which counted 3.72 million streams back in April.

Congratulations to Justin Bieber for setting an all time record in streaming on the Official Charts and considering "See You Again" was such a huge hit the fact that "What Do You Mean" beat is an incredible accomplishment!
