She fought off a strong challenge from Nicki Minaj and her
new track "Anaconda", which at number three was the highest new
entry of the week, but managed to storm ahead by shifting
another 100,000 copies of "All about that Bass".
Along with Jessie J and Ariana Grande, Minaj was part of a pop
trio that held onto the number two spot for a second week with
"Bang Bang".
In the albums chart, British artist George Ezra kept the top
spot for a second week with "Wanted on Voyage". The
21-year-old’s folk-rock debut topped the chart last week after
14 weeks inside the Top 10.
Ed Sheeran’s "X" climbed a place to number two, while Sam Smith
spent a 20th week in the Top 10 with "In The Lonely Hour" at
number three.
