Celebrated musician Sir Elton John also marks an impressive achievement by surpassing 400 weeks on the Official Albums Chart with his greatest hits collection, “Diamonds,” initially released in 2017.

On the singles charts, producer MK, also known as Marc Kinchen, maintains the number one spot for the second consecutive week with “Dior,” featuring singer-songwriter Chrystal. This track is also the most streamed song in the UK, amassing 5.5 million streams over the past week. US singer Sabrina Carpenter holds steady at number two with her previous chart-topper “Manchild,” while Calvin Harris and Clementine Douglas’s “Blessings” jumps three spots to a new peak of number three. Justin Bieber secures the highest new entry of the week at number four with “DAISIES.”
