Justin Bieber replaces himself at top of UK's Official Singles Chart

Justin Bieber’s incredible year continues as he scores his third No.1 single on this week’s Official Singles Chart with 'Love Yourself'.

The track climbs from 2 to 1 on this week’s tally, pushing his previous single 'Sorry' down to second place. Both songs also rack up huge streaming numbers this week, at 5.97 million for 'Love Yourself' (the most streamed track of the week) and 5.5 million for 'Sorry'.

Replacing yourself at the top spot is a feat rarely seen on the Official Singles Chart. The last act to do so was Elvis Presley in 2005, when reissues of 'Jailhouse Rock' and 'One Night/I Got Stung' hit No.1 in succession. The last living act to manage it in UK chart history was The Beatles in 1963, with 'She Loves You' and 'I Want To Hold Your Hand'.

Meanwhile, Adele’s 'Hello' holds at No.3, Bieber’s 'What Do You Mean' is at No.4, and newcomer Grace zooms 39 places to make her Top 40 debut today with 'You Don’t Own Me'.

Coldplay leap eight places to No.15 this week with 'Adventure Of A Lifetime', Sigma land their 5th Top 40 hit with their Rita Ora collaboration 'Coming Home' (26), and production duo 99 Souls climb 10 spots to 33 with 'Girl Is Mine (Destiny’s Child & Brandy)'.

Finally, Mariah Carey’s 'All I Want For Christmas' Is You begins is annual ascent up the chart, entering the Top 40 at 35, and Robin Schulz’s 'Sugar' ft. Yates leaps 18 places to 36.
