Ed Sheeran is holding on to the top albums spot for a third week as ÷ (Atlantic) shifts 206k over the last seven days (physical 67%, downloads 13% and streaming equivalent sales 20%), bringing its combined tally to 1.18m.

Dame Vera Lynn has indeed beaten her own record as the oldest living artist to reach the Top 10 with 100 (Decca) a new entry at #3. The set features orchestral reinterpretations of classics with special guests including Alfie Boe, Alexander Armstrong and Aled Jones.

Rag’n’Bone Man is down to #4 with Human (Columbia), while Depeche Mode end the week at #5 with Spirit (Columbia). Swedish star Zara Larsson has charted at #7 with her debut, So Good (Black Butter).
