Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Hitmaker Jason Derulo has secured a fourth consecutive week at the top of the singles chart with "Want To Want Me".
The American singer beat off strong midweek competition from Deorro & Chris Brown's Five More Hours, chalking up 57,000 combined chart sales and 2.11 million streams to retain the crown.
Want To Want Me is the fourth track this year to spend at least four weeks in pole position.
The current record-holder for 2015 is Mark Ronson's Uptown Funk, which managed six consecutive weeks at the start of the year.
Major Lazer, MO and DJ Snake's Lean On climbed one place to number two, OMI's Cheerleader (Felix Jaehn Remix) was at three and Five More Hours crashed in at number four to become the week's highest new entry.
Meanwhile, Walk The Moon's Shut Up & Dance climbed three places to break into the top five for the first time.
Elsewhere in the singles chart, Britney Spears scored her 30th top 40 hit with Iggy Azalea collaboration Pretty Girls, which entered at number 16.
In the albums chart, Muse managed to hang on to top spot with seventh album Drones.
It is the Devon rockers' fifth chart-topping album and the first time they have held on to the top spot for a second week since 2006's Black Holes & Revelations.
Florence + The Machine's How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful also held firm at number two in the week they were promoted to top of the bill at Glastonbury in the place of injury-hit Foo Fighters.
Paul Simon's Ultimate Collection leaped nine places to number three and James Taylor scored his highest-charting studio album for 44 years with Before This World at number four.

Four is Taylor's lucky number - his most successful studio album in the UK previously was Mudslide Slim And The Blue Horizon, which reached number four in 1971.
And his greatest hits compilation You've Got A Friend - The Best Of also made it to number four in 2003.
Rounding off the albums top five was Ed Sheeran's x, which celebrates a year in the albums top 10 - with only four of those weeks spent outside the top five.
And following frontman Dave Grohl's mishap in breaking a leg on stage in Sweden last week, Foo Fighters' Greatest Hits made a comeback, advancing 15 spots to number 28.
