•  Singles: The X Factor's Cyrus storms top 10, Little Mix climb •  Albums: Boy & Bear new #1, Selena Gomez, City and Colour top 10

Singles

Macklemore & Ryan Lewis are staking a claim at the top similar to Justin Bieber's recent month at #1. Macklemore & Ryan Lewis' "Downtown" has been on top for three weeks now and has been in the chart for the same amount of time as Bieber's "What Do You Mean?" – seven weeks. Bieber hasn't strayed far from the top either, he's still lodged at #2.

Wollongong's Cyrus Villanueve smashed into the top 10 at #6 with "Wicked Game" from The X Factor.

Other top 10 newcomers were Rudimental with "Lay It All On Me" up from #11 to #7.

Dawin's "Dessert" climbed from #17 to #8 in its slow climb to the top (eight weeks), while The Weeknd jumped from #12 to #10 on an even slower chart assault (20 weeks).

Jess Glynne meanwhile is nearly top 10 with "Don't Be So Hard On Yourself", climbing from #24 to #13 after nine weeks.

Another track taking some time in the chart is "679" from Fetty Wap featuring Remy Boyz which lifted from #70 to #27 after 13 weeks.
