Drake held off competition from Justin Timberlake to spend a sixth week at number one
Drake has simultaneously topped the UK singles and albums chart for the second time this year.
The rapper's hit One Dance spent its sixth week at number one, while album Views climbed three places to the summit.
Elsewhere, the first new single from the Stone Roses for more than 20 years, All For One, entered at number 17.
The song had been at number four in the midweek charts following its surprise release last Thursday evening.
Justin Timberlake has also slid from his midweek position.
His single Can't Stop The Feeling had been at number one in the midweeks after a well-received Eurovision performance, but entered the singles chart at number two.
It was a close race for the top spot: One Dance notched up 105,000 sales, while Can't Stop The Feeling sold 99,000.
About 75,000 of Drake's sales came from streams rather than purchases, about 71% of the song's total.
