Lukas Graham are refusing to budge from the top of the UK singles chart, spending a fifth week at number one with their ballad, 7 Years.
The song is now the UK's longest-reigning number one by a Danish act.
It overtakes Whigfield's Saturday Night and Aqua's Barbie Girl, both of which spent four weeks at the summit.
Meanwhile, Adele returns to the top of the album chart, with 25 achieving its tenth (non-consecutive) week at number one since last November.
According to the Official Charts Company, the record sold more than two-and-a-half times more than its nearest rival, Jess Glynne's I Cry When I Laugh, over the last seven days.
Last week's number one, The 1975's I Like It When You Sleep, For You Are So Beautiful Yet So Unaware Of It, drops to sixth place.
