Rak-Su, winners of The X Factor 2017, are at No.4 with Dimelo (23,259 sales), while Mariah Carey’s festive smash All I Want For Christmas Is You completes the Top 5 with sales of 22,519.

In the albums chart, Sam Smith’s The Thrill Of It All (39,562 sales) has replaced U2 at the top, with the Irish veterans’ Songs Of Experience sliding to No.3 with 34,428 sales. Sheeran’s ÷ is at No.2 on 37,050. Together Again (29,415 sales), by Michael Ball & Alfie Boe, and Pink’s Beautiful Trauma (27,923 sales) complete the Top 5.
