The British soul singer's million-selling debut, which
climbed from four back to the top of the rankings, has yet to
leave the top 10 since it was released in May 2014.
Ed Sheeran's "X" was in second place, while the third and fourth
spots were new entries: "If You're Reading This You're Too
Late", a surprise release by Canadian rapper Drake on Friday,
and the Irish quartet Kodaline's second studio album, "Coming Up
For Air".
Ellie Goulding topped the singles chart for a second week with
"Love Me Like You Do". The track, which features in the new
"Fifty Shades of Grey" movie, racked up combined sales of
118,000, the Official Charts Company said.
Hozier's "Take Me To Church" climbed back to number two for its
21st week in the top 40, while third-placed Mark Ronson's
"Uptown Funk" hit the 1 million sales mark.
Ronson's soul-funk track featuring Bruno Mars joined the million
sellers' club just 10 weeks after its release, according to
Official Charts Company data.
