Dua Lipa and Calvin Harris land biggest U.K. number one of 2018

Dua Lipa and Calvin Harris’ collaboration One Kiss has climbed to the top of the U.K. singles chart.
Their new song was streamed 7.1 million times and downloaded on 22,000 occasions, the best week of sales figures of any number one hit this year (18).
Last week’s top track, Drake’s Nice For What, drops to two in Friday’s (20Apr18) Official Charts Company rundown, with Chris Brown and comedy rapper Lil Dicky’s Freaky Friday falling to three.
George Ezra’s Paradise is at four, while Rudimental, Jess Glynne, and Macklemore’s These Days completes the top five.
In the albums chart, the soundtrack to movie musical The Greatest Showman moves up a place to spend its 13th week at number one. Welsh rockers Manic Street Preachers narrowly miss out on their first chart topper for 20 years as their new project, Resistance Is Futile, enters at two, despite outselling The Greatest Showman recording earlier in the week.
In the midst of the chart battle, the band’s bassist Nicky Wire told the BBC he’d be upset if his group’s latest album was beaten by songs from a film about circus impresario P. T. Barnum, portrayed onscreen by Hugh Jackman.
“We’ve had four number two albums,” he said. “I think we lost out to the Arctic Monkeys, George Michael and lots of good acts. So it would be pretty depressing to lose out to something about the circus.”
Meanwhile, Ezra’s Staying At Tamara’s holds firm at three as last week’s top album, Kylie Minogue’s Golden, plummets to four, and rapper Cardi B’s Invasion of Privacy rounds out the top five.
