Smith's collaboration with John Legend, "Lay Me Down", in aid
of charity Comic Relief, debuted at number one in the singles
chart, his fourth chart-topping track in less than two years.
Meanwhile his debut album "In The Lonely Hour" returned to the
top of the charts for an eighth week, making it the first album
by a male solo artist in charts history to achieve six different
spells at number one.
It finished more than 12,000 sales ahead of this week's highest
new entry, second-placed "Rebel Heart" by Madonna. Ed Sheeran's
"X" was a non-mover in third.
In the singles chart, British electronica trio Years and Years
slipped one spot to second place with "King", while Flo Rida
featuring Sage the Gemini was a new entry at three with "GDFR".
