Mike Posner is No.1 on UK singles chart for third week

Mike Posner celebrates a third stint at Number 1 on the Official Singles Chart this week with I Took A Pill In Ibiza.

The SeeB remix of Mike's track shifted 84,000 combined chart sales to log a third week at the summit. That’s an even stronger tally than last week (82,000), and takes the song to Gold certification status for passing 400,000 combined sales. I Took A Pill... is also the most streamed song of the week, with just over 4.2 million plays.

Addressing supporters of the song to OfficialCharts.com, Mike said: "To be Number 1 in the UK is quite an honour. I appreciate you making sure I don't have to get another job, and can do art full-time, and that's pretty cool."

Finishing 20,000 copies behind Mike are Fifth Harmony, whose tune Work from Home climbs one place to Number 2. It’s a career best for the five-piece - their previous peak was Number 3 with Worth It in 2015.

The longest reigning Danish Number 1 in UK chart history, Lukas Graham's 7 Years, falls once place to Number 3 and enjoys an eight week in the Top 3. Their band's self-titled album is one of this week's new releases.

Rising four spots to Number 4 is Sia with Cheap Thrills, giving the Australian singer-songwriter her highest charting single as a lead artist. Her previous best was Chandelier, which topped out at Number 6 in 2014.

This week's Official Trending Chart Number 1 from Alan Walker’s Faded climbs 7 spots to Number 11 today, and DNCE's Cake By The Ocean continues its climb up the Top 40, moving four spots to Number 17.

Roses by The Chainsmokers rises seven places to 26, while Meghan Trainor's No makes its first appearance in the UK Top 40, up 12 places from last week to Number 30.
