John Legend's ballad to wife tops The Official UK Streaming Chart

American singer John Legend has topped the first televised Official UK Streaming Chart.

All of Me, a ballad he wrote for his wife, has been the most listened to track over the last week.

The show, which counts down the UK's top 20 streamed tracks, aired on MTV Music on Monday.

The streaming chart is based on audio streams generated by Spotify, Deezer, Napster, Bloom FM and O2 Tracks among others.

The Official Streaming Chart is different to the UK Official Chart on Radio 1, which is compiled using sales figures.

John Legend's number one ends Clean Bandit's 10 week run at the top with Rather Be featuring Jess Glynne which is now at number two.

At number three is Aloe Blacc's The Man, with Happy by Pharrell Williams and Katy Perry' Dark Horse completing the top five.

On average, the British public are streaming over 230 million tracks each week, according to Official Charts Company data.
