Calvin Harris's star-studded new track Feels has ended Despacito's 11-week run at the top of the U.K. singles chart.


Luis Fonsi's collaboration with Daddy Yankee and Justin Bieber, has been the smash hit of the summer since its release, but DJ Harris' new tune, which features guest vocals from Pharrell Williams, Katy Perry and Big Sean, proved too much for the Latin hit.

Calvin now has eight U.K. number one singles, putting him level The Rolling Stones, Oasis and Eminem. The only British male solo artist with more chart-toppers is Cliff Richard, who has 14.

Climbing to two is French Montana and Swae Lee's Unforgettable, while DJ Khaled, Bryson Tiller and Rihanna's Wild Thoughts falls to three. Despacito is at four and Dua Lipa's New Rules rounds out the new top five.

Ed Sheeran's ÷ (divide) regains its place at the top of the U.K. album chart for a 15th week at the summit, while country music icon Glen Campbell's final album Adios rises up to two days after the singer's death on Tuesday (08Aug17). Adios which was recorded while he was battling Alzheimer's disease.

Last week's number one album, Arcade Fire's Everything Now slips to three, while Rag'n'Bone Man's Human is at four. Rounding out the top five is Lana Del Rey's Lust for Life.
