Drake's single "One Dance" is the UK number one again, making it the longest-running chart topper since 1992.
The song appears on Drake's recent Polaris Prize-longlisted record Views, and features WizKid and Kyla. It's been perched atop the UK charts for 13 straight weeks, and is third overall for most consecutive weeks at the top of the pile.
Wet Wet Wet's "Love Is All Around" spent 15 weeks at number one in 1994. Bryan Adams' "Everything I Do, I Do It For You" holds the title for most consecutive weeks - 16.
"One Dance" isn't on YouTube so here's Wet Wet Wet instead.
