One Direction releases new single ‘Perfect’
View(s):Justine Bieber recaptures the UK Singles No:1 for the third time with his song ‘What Do You Mean?’ this week. It streamed more than 2.91 million times last week. The track, his most successful release, first topped the UK charts six weeks ago.
After a week at the top it was replaced by Sigala’s ‘Easy Love’. A week later ‘What Do You Mean?’ was back in the saddle at the No: 1 position holding on for two weeks before Sam Smith’s ‘Writing’s On The Wall’ from the James Bond film Spectre dethroned it.
