Ed Sheeran = GOLD album Unlike ÷ which went 2x Platinum in first week. The record (=) is Ed’s fifth to top the chart, and opens with 139,000 chart sales, outperforming the rest of this week’s Top 30 combined.

Cliff Richard has re-recorded 'Mistletoe & Wine' with Collabro. The single will be released on the 26th November 2021. Will it make the Top 75 in competition with his original version?

Obviously including 25 is a mistake - it should be 30. Please correct.
