    You'd recognise 'Shape of You' at number 1 for the past however many weeks as they play it at half time a lot at Oakwell.

    A few Barnsley fans and a couple of lads from Ipswich, but they've supped up and gone down to Brammah's now.

    It's not just downloads, its streaming too.

    It is a bit of a joke but it's the same rules for everyone, combined downloads, streams and physical sales have given him 16 of the top 20 singles and 3 of the top 5 albums.

    Fair play.

    And to those wondering what else was in the top 20 of the charts... chainsmokers ft Coldplay, Katy perry, rag n bone man, and stormzy...

    Ed Sheeran isn't so bad after all. Quite like the rag n bone man song mind, plus I model my body shape on him

    Oh I've got nothing against ed or the others i think it just shows that the charts as a SINGLES chart doesn't work anymore and the algorithms used to calculate it need to change
