Mike Posner retains number one spot with Ibiza track
- Published
The Michigan-born Posner said it was "quite an honour" to be number one
Mike Posner has scored a second week at number one with his dance track I Took a Pill in Ibiza.
The single sold 82,000 combined copies last week, around half of which came from the song's 4.1 million streams.
The sales put I Took a Pill in Ibiza about 11,000 copies ahead of its closest rival - 7 Years by Lukas Graham.
It's the second UK hit for 28-year-old Posner - his debut single Cooler Than Me reached number five in 2010.
Posner said: "To be number one in the UK is quite an honour.
"It's very flattering to know this many people are listening to my music and enjoying it enough to give me money for it."
Fifth Harmony, the girl group formed on X Factor USA, are at number three this week with Work From Home - a new peak for the song.
Completing the top five is Zara Larsson's Lush Life at number four, and Say You Do by Sigala feat. Imani and DJ Fresh, which has climbed 46 places.
