Is there any stopping Ed Sheeran? The flame-haired singer is celebrating a fourth consecutive week at number one with his new album âXâ.
Already the fastest selling release of the year after shifting 182,000 in its first week, âXâ is also now the longest running number one of 2014 to date.
The previous longest runner was Paolo Nutiniâs âCaustic Loveâ, which had a three-week chart reign in April and May.
According to the Official Charts Companyâs sales data X has sold over 367,000 copies in the UK in the past month.
