    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.

    People over 15 years old still listen to the charts then?

    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
