Luis Fonsi is in pole position in the singles chart

Luis Fonsi is in pole position in the singles chart

Luis Fonsi is on course for another week at No.1 in the singles chart, but the biggest story this week could see political protest hit the Top 5.

That’s right, Liar Liar, a song criticising British Prime Minister Theresa May by London band Captain Ska, has amassed sales of 30,929, a figure that puts it at No.3 in the charts. Fonsi & Daddy Yankee’s Despacito (87,805 sales) and DJ Khaled’s I’m The One (32,780 sales) are at No.1 and No.2 respectively. Behind them all, Liam Payne’s Strip That Down (29,122 sales) and There’s Nothing Holdin’ Me Back by Shawn Mendes (26,562 sales) complete a congested Top 5. 

The Beatles remain out in front in the albums chart, but their lead over Ed Sheeran has been cut. The reissued Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band (27,103 sales) is at No.1, with ÷ (20,712 sales) behind it at No.2. Rag’N’Bone Man’s Human is a non-mover at No.3, with The Charlatans’ Different Days (10,612 sales) a new entry at No.4. Harry Styles’ debut album (8,271 sales) is at No.5.
