Ronson’s Uptown Special album is released on Monday
Mark Ronson continued his reign at the top of the UK single chart, notching up a fifth week at the number one.
Uptown Funk featuring Bruno Mars has spent six weeks in the chart, all at the top except for when it was briefly ousted by X Factor winner Ben Haenow.
Philip George’s Wish You Were Here remained at two, while Hozier’s Take Me to Church rose to three, having spent 25 weeks in the charts.
The album chart saw George Ezra back at number one.
Ezra, Ed Sheeran and Sam Smith have been swapping places at the top of the chart since the beginning of December, with the trio of British artists notching up a combined 93 weeks inside the top 40.
Ezra’s Wanted on Voyage knocked Smith’s In the Lonely Hour down to three, with the number two slot filled by Sheeran’s X.
With a dearth of new album releases around, the biggest climber was American jazz singer Gregory Porter with Liquid Spirit, which rose from 104 to 13.
The highest new entry was Carole King with her 1971 debut album Tapestry. Her appearance may be down to it featuring in a mash-up with Alanis Morissette on US TV series Glee.
