Vossi Bop is at number one, following huge streaming figures, which beat Drake's record.

Stormzy has scored his first ever UK number on the Official Singles Chart with Vossi Bop - his first single since 2017.
Clocking up 12.7 million listens, Stormzy claims the biggest week of streams ever for a rapper - smashing the previous figure set by Drake's In My Feelings by over two million - and the fifth biggest streaming week of all-time.
The London-born rapper, who is preparing to headline Glastonbury, also claims the second biggest first-week combined sales of 2019 so far with 94,500 - second only to Ariana Grande's 7 Rings which opened with 126,000 combined sales in January.
Speaking to OfficialCharts.com, Stormzy said: "Words don't really do it justice. I'm genuinely, for once in my life, speechless!
"My supporters have had my back like crazy - this is all you guys, thank you so much."
Named after a viral dance move, Vossi Bop sees the grime star performing in front of iconic London locations including Westminster Bridge and the Bank of England.
Actor Idris Elba makes a cameo appearance alongside him in one scene, in which both stars are dressed in black and wearing shades.
