YE JOLLY OLDE iTUNES U.K. CHARTS

Nine days after the BRIT Awards, the aftereffect is still in play, to the benefit of WMG’s Royal Blood and Ed Sheeran, UMG’s Sam Smith and James Bay, and arguably Sony’s Mark Ronson, slowing the descent of longtime chat-topper “Uptown Funk.”

Otherwise, Polydor EDM trio Years & Years debuts at #1 on the singles chart, outpacing the new one from Kanye West, for the moment, at least. And the enduring appeal of Oasis among Brits is apparent, as the self-released sophomore album from Noel Gallagher's current band sits atop of the album chart.

BTW, the appearance of Tracy Chapman's self-titled first album may have something to do with its being priced at £3.99
