Jay-Z wasn't the only superstar to have suffered a chart blow this weekend.

Last week, the Official Charts Company overhauled the way it compiles the Top 40 Singles in an effort to stop A-list artists elbowing newer acts out of the way.

The move was prompted by Ed Sheeran, whose new album ÷ [Divide] proved so popular that it propelled 16 tracks into the top 20 in March.

Appropriately, he seems to be the main victim of the new rules, with several of his songs adversely affected.

Last week, Sheeran had eight songs in the Top 100. This week, he has three.

To be fair, four of those former hits dropped out naturally, because their sales declined following a brief, post-Glastonbury peak.

But another song was excluded from the countdown because, under the new system, artists are only allowed a maximum of three songs on the chart at any one time.
