Drake extends his run at the top of the singles chart to twelve weeks. Adele is back on top of the albums chart.

Drake still cannot be shifted from the top of the singles chart. Adele returns to the top of the albums chart after a triumphant Glastonbury headlining set.

It may have stopped selling in significant numbers weeks ago, but people are still streaming Drake’s One Dance in huge numbers. As a result, it is number one for a twelfth week. It was the best-selling song for only the first three of those weeks. Once again, it was not even the best-selling Drake song of the week. If only his record company could persuade iTunes etc. so sell the song for a penny while withdrawing it from streaming services, it could get one final week at the top before disappearing for ever. Thie first half of 2016 ends with just five new number one singles.

Once again, the unlucky song to miss out on getting to number one is This Girl by Kungs vs Cookin’ On 3 Burners. It was the best-selling song by a comfortable margin, but couldn’t come close to matching Drake’s streaming figures.

Rihanna and the ubiquitous Drake climb two places to number three with Too Good. It is only the fifth song to occupy a top three slot in the last nine weeks. He could yet become the second Canadian to replace himself at number one just a matter of months after Justin Bieber became the first.

Calvin Harris and Rihanna stay at number four with This Is What You Came For. Justin Timberlake’s Can’t Stop The Feeling falls a relatively massive two places to number five. Adele’s Glastonbury performance has propelled Send My Love (To Your New Lover) up nine places to number six.

Two of the UK’s most successful producers of the last decade or so have joined forces to create this week’s highest new entry, although many people who have heard it may wish they hadn’t bothered. Dizzee Rascal (born Dylan Mills) had his first hit in 2003 with a song dedicated to the 21st letter of the alphabet. He first reached the top ten a little over a year later, and has accumulated thirteen top ten hits so far, many of them in collaboration with other artists.

Calvin Harris (Adam Wiles) made his chart debut in 2007 with the number ten hit Acceptable In The 80s. Despite starting four years later than Dizzee Rascal, he has had a total of twenty top ten hits to date. Messrs Rascal and Harris have had one previous hit single together, Dance Wiv Me in 2008. Their new collaboration, Hype, enters at number 34.

Having successfully avoided prosecution for murdering Tracy Chapman’s classic Fast Car, producer Jonas Blue gets a second hit single with Perfect Strangers at number 39. The guest vocalist this time is Mancunian JP Cooper who makes his first appearance in the UK charts.

After getting into the chart last week with a two-year-old album following an appearance on Graham Norton’s show, French singer Christine & The Queens gained some more television exposure when she performed at Glastonbury. Just in case people missed the coverage of her live set, she also performed a version of Tilted in the makeshift studio. As a result, she now has a UK top forty hit to add to her CV as Tilted comes in at number 40.

Kent Jones climbs thirteen places to number 26 with Don’t Mind. Shawn Mendes’ Treat You is up nine places to number 29.

It was inevitable that there would be several tributes to David Bowie and Prince at this year’s Glastonbury festival. Coldplay, though, did something a little different. In a characteristically thoughtful move, they played a video of song by Viola Beach, the band tragically killed in a road accident in Sweden in February, and played along to it. Having given their permission for the video to be used, the band’s families were in the crowd to witness the moving tribute. The song, Boys That Sing, came very close to topping the iTunes chart on Monday, but a lack of streams means that it misses out on a place in the week’s top forty. Nevertheless, Coldplay’s own Hymn For The Weekend climbs eleven places back up to number 19 after spending seven weeks between numbers 30 and 40.

After a run of 35 weeks, Justin Bieber’s Sorry leaves the top forty, giving us the first Bieber-free chart since April 2015. Major Lazer and Nyla’s Light It Up is now the longest-running song in the chart on 27 weeks. It is the final surviving song from the last top forty of 2015.

In the absence of any major new releases, it was always likely that the battle for the top of the albums chart would be between acts who appeared at this year’s Glastonbury festival with the likeliest contenders being headliners Adele and Coldplay plus the band who filled this year’s “heritage slot”, Electric Light Orchestra. And so it came to pass.

Almost from the moment the release of 25 was announced, there had been rumours that Adele would be headlining at Glastonbury this year. Even though she is hardly a “typical Glastonbury” act, these rumours did not attract the sort of hostility generated by similar rumours about acts such as Kanye West and Beyonce in the past. Even when - as with the other examples - the rumours proved to be true, there was no real backlash. The generally enthusiastic reviews of her arena shows may have helped.

It will have surprised very few people when it became known that Adele’s set had given the BBC its biggest Glastonbury audience for several years. Among that audience were sufficient people who didn’t already own 25 to take it back to number one, bringing its total to 13 weeks at the top. It even generated enough sales for her previous two albums to see them back in the chart. Her debut album, 19, is back at number twelve and 21, which amassed 23 weeks at number one, is at number ten, its 77th week in the top ten.

Coldplay’s A Head Full Of Dreams was one of the albums held off the number one spot by the Adele juggernaut when it was released, although it did eventually manage a week at the top earlier this year. It is back up to number two this week.

Electric Light Orchestra’s eleven-year-old compilation All Over The World climbs to number three. After years of being decidedly uncool, they are now enjoying a renewed period of success.

Rick Astley’s 50 is showing unexpected resilience; it falls one place to number four. Beyoncé’s Lemonade climbs back up to number five without even having the benefit of some Glastonbury exposure. Christine and The Queens’ Chaleur Humaine climbs two places to number six.

After a week back at the top of the pile following the physical release, Radiohead’s A Moon Shaped Pool falls to number nine.

While last Friday’s new release list had a definite lack of likely contenders for the number one position, only a real pessimist would have expected that a pathetic total of just two of them would even make the top forty. The higher of the two comes from Canadian singer Neil Young who first charted as a solo artist in 1970. His various solo projects - and time as a member of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young - have yielded 36 top forty albums. including seven top tens. Just one of those albums, 1972’s Harvest, went all the way to the top.

His most famous backing band is Crazy Horse with whom he had a string of successful albums, but more recently he has worked with an outfit going by the name of Promise Of Real, a band originally formed by Willie Nelson’s son Lukas. Young and Promise Of Real reached number 24 last year with The Monsanto Years, an album highlighting his environmental credentials. They now enter at number fourteen with Earth.

Something real is 70-year-old Neil Young’s 20th top forty album since DJ Shadow first troubled the chart with Endtroducing in 1996 at the age of 24. The man born Joshua Davis two years after Young’s first solo album has taken his time over subsequent releases, bringing out his sixth album, The Mountain Will Fall, last week. It enters at number nineteen to give him a fifth top forty hit.

While new entries are conspicuous by their absence, there are several Glastonbury-inspired re-entries in addition to Adele’s first two albums. Muse, the only headliners not involved in the race to the top of the chart, re-enter at number sixteen with Drones. The 1975 are back at number 23 with I Like It When You Sleep, For You Are So Beautiful Yet So Unaware Of It and Foals return at number 28 with What Went Down. Tame Impala’s Currents re-enters at number 32 and Last Shadow Puppets’ Everything You’ve Come To Expect re-appears at number 35. Skepta’s Konnichiwa completes the list of re-entries at number 40.
