• Singles: Taylor Swift conquers the chart ahead of album release
• Albums: Queens Of The Stone Age third new #1 in three weeks

Singles

After two weeks on top with "What About Us", P!nk has slipped to #2 to make way for Taylor Swift with the much-analysed "Look What You Made Me Do". The new single is the only track to crack the top 50 on debut. It is Swift's fifth #1 single and the first release from her next album "Reputation".

A number of other tunes have slipped into the 50 from further down the chart:

#30 Marshmello v Khalid with "Silence"
#36 Camila Cabello with "Havana" featuring Young Thug
#37 Logic with "1-800-273-8255" featuring Alessia Cara and Khalid
#43 Portugal. The Man with "Feel It Still"

Albums

Since Ed Sheeran surrendered top spot there has been a succession of new music topping the chart – three new #1 albums in the past three weeks. The latest to occupy top spot is Queens Of The Stone Age with "Villains" debuting #1. The 21-year-old California band's seventh album is its second #1 album.

Also new to the top 10 are:

#5 The War On Drugs with "A Deeper Understanding" – the first time in top 10 and the fourth album from one of Philadelphia's finest
#6 Kim Churchill with "Weight Falls" – the fifth album and first time in top 10 for Canberra-born folk singer
#9 Fifth Harmony with "Fifth Harmony" – the third album from the American girl group
