Justin Bieber replaces himself at the top of the Official UK Singles Chart with "Love Yourself"
Justin Bieber’s scores his third Number 1 single on this week’s Official UK Singles Chart with Love Yourself! The Single climbs from 2 to 1 on this week’s Top 20, pushing his previous top charting single "Sorry" down to second place. Both tracks also rack up huge streaming numbers this week, at 5.97 million for "Love Yourself" and 5.5 million for "Sorry".

Replacing yourself at the top spot is a rarely-seen feat on the Official Singles Chart. The last act to do so was Elvis Presley in 2005, when reissues of "Jailhouse Rock" and "One Night/I Got Stung" hit Number 1 in succession. The last living act to achieve the feat in UK chart history wasThe Beatles in December 1963, with "She Loves You" and "I Want To Hold Your Hand"
