Pop singer Justin Bieber has scored his first UK number one track with What Do You Mean, his fastest-selling single in the UK to date.<\/p>\n

It is only the third time the Canadian has had a solo Top 10 song in the UK, and his first since 2012’s Boyfriend.<\/p>\n

That number two hit notched up sales of 55,000, a total well beaten by his new song’s combined sales total of 84,000.<\/p>\n

What Do You Mean has had more than 21 million streams worldwide on Spotify, setting a new record for the service.<\/p>\n

In the UK alone it has racked up 3.2 million plays on streaming services, the most any single has recorded in the UK in its first week.<\/p>\n

The previous record was set last month by One Direction, whose Drag Me Down had 2.03 million plays in its first week on release.<\/p>\n

Bieber’s chart triumph comes at the expense of last week’s number one, Rachel Platten’s Fight Song, which drops one place to two.<\/p>\n

The Weeknd – who, like Bieber, hails from the Canadian province of Ontario – follows at three with Can’t Feel My Face.<\/p>\n

Demi Lovato is the week’s biggest climber, jumping 105 places to seven with Cool for the Summer, her fourth Top 10 single.<\/p>\n

The Weeknd – real name Abel Tesfaye – tops the UK album chart with his latest release, Beauty Behind the Madness.<\/p>\n

The record is one of three new entries in this week’s top five, which also includes new records from Foals and Ella Eyre.<\/p>\n

What Went Down, indie rockers Foals’ fourth studio album is at three, while Eyre’s debut album Feline follows at four.<\/p>\n

Additional new entries, at nine and 10, from Halsey and Motorhead result in a Top 10 with half its slots occupied by new releases.<\/p>\n

Bad Magic, Motorhead’s 22nd album, is the veteran rockers’ fourth Top 10 record and their first record in the Top 40 since 1991.<\/p>\n
