I believe the record is 21 weeks, held by "What Do You Mean?". Drake only needs 3 more weeks to equal that.

Purpose up almost 20 places because of streaming. I guess many would like to listen it but wouldn't dare be seen purchasing it

Michael Jackson's Number Ones was on 2.35 million by the end of June and has just gone 8x Platinum. That means 50,000 sales in little over a month?

Allow me to introduce you to a David Guetta song called "What I Did for Love"

I know he's of a totally different calibre but do you think George Ezra has any chance of reaching the heights of Wanted on Voyage with his next album or was that just a flash in the pan?

Rihanna didn't release an album for 4 years either - it's done OK in falling sales climates like these

Craig David? Although Slicker Than Your Average did not too badly I suppose

I think (s)he just meant Bruno is long overdue a new albun

Oops! But I meant it was ironic because the song that ended their massive reign at the top became the first - but since you've corrected me, the reference doesn't actually mean anything.

Four Weddings and a Funeral came out on 13 May 1994, four days after Love Is All Around. It didn't go straight to number 1; although, ironically, the song that finally replaced it at the top (Saturday Night by Whigfield) did - and became the first song ever to do so. (Everything I Do) I Do It for You was released four days BEFORE Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves and also got to number 1 in its third week.

Since Drake went to number 1, we've voted to leave the EU, the PM has resigned, Prince has died, full series of Big Brother, BGT and Love Island have all come and passed, Hibernian have won the Scottish Cup for the first time since 1902, the entire European Championship has begun and ended, UK politics has become a farce with Theresa May becoming PM because someone else didn't want to, a reality star has officially become the nominee for U.S. President, Busted have been on tour for the first time in a decade, and so much more. I won't go into any more though.

I don't even recognise half that list. Love Don't Cost a Thing, Play, Ain't It Funny and Jenny from the Block have all been outsold by Get Right? Play only just makes the top 10? And Ain't It Funny is number 14?! WOW What also shocks me is that Let's Get Loud was never released here - that's a great song

The thing to remember is that Drake is also behind Frankie Laine, not just Bryan Adams. So if he's beaten to number 1 this week, he could still reach Frankie's overall total

Mr Brightside, not When You Were Young

Looking at the live Spotify charts and Drake is miles ahead of Jonas Blue - AGAIN

I will support literally any other song at all as long as it stops Drake having another week at the top.

I figured it was just shipment certifications from the time

19 by Adele must have literally only just missed the cut-off point. If the deadline had been just one week later, the Glastonbury sales spike would've give it enough sales to get in there. Robbie's greatest hits must've been real close too

Apparently this was news three weeks ago but I've only just found out. Greatest hits albums are hardly hot property these days: only Paul Simon (to an extent), Bon Jovi and Pink have been successful in the last few years. Jason Derulo's never had a number 1 album anywhere in the world, so does anyone see this one going places? http://www.idolator.com/7638569/jason-deru...its-compilation

Mylo - Doctor Pressure

Ask the OCC on Twitter I believe

Bastille - Of the Night

You missed out number 3 ben! There's only 12 albums on that list, not 13

That's something I wondered. There's two versions of Cheap Thrills - what happens there in terms of streaming sales?

Even more than that - 128th
