Going straight in at No.1 is Gabrielle Aplin with The Power Of Love, that ghastly cover version you hear on the syrupy John Lewis advert.
It’s not a patch on the Frankie Goes To Hollywood original, which you can see here:
As such, Olly Murs Feat. Flo Rida drops to No.3 with Troublemaker, where he keeps going on about having a heart attack. But hasn’t yet. Shame.
The Top 3 is rounded out at 2 with Bruno Mars – Locked Out Of Heaven, staying there.
