Your support makes all the difference.Canadian rapper Drake has wedged his way into music history books matching a feat achieved by Scottish group Wet Wet Wet and singer Bryan Adams in the process.
His track "One Dance" - featuring Wizkid & Kyla - has scored its twelfth week atop the UK music charts, overtaking Rihanna song "Umbrella" which was the millennium's previous longest-running number one.
Staggeringly, the song now joins the ranks of Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody," Wet Wet Wet's "Love Is All Around,", Bryan Adams song "Everything I Do (I Do It For You)" and Frankie Lane's "I Believe" to enter the top five longest-running umber one singles in UK chart history.
Not content with matching records, Drake's new Rihanna collaboration "Too Good" is also in the chart's top three.
Over in the UK albums chart, Adele's 25 returned to the top spot following the singer-songwriter's Saturday headline slot at Glastonbury 2016 which also saw Muse and Coldplay take to the Pyramid Stage.
