Zayn's "Pillowtalk" notched up combined sales of 112,000 with
4.97 million streams, according to the Official Charts Company.
Zayn Malik left One Direction last March after five years with
the hugely successful boyband that was first discovered on ITV
television talent show "X Factor."
Pillowtalk held off competition from Jonas Blue's "Fast Car" in
second spot while last week's number one "Stitches" by Shawn
Mendes fell to third place.
Bowie has dominated the British album charts since his death in
January and claimed top spot for the fourth week as the "Best of
Bowie" compilation - originally released in 2002 - replaced his
final album "Blackstar."
Bowie has become the first act to knock himself off the top of
the Official Albums Chart in nearly six years, since Michael
Jackson achieved the feat following his death in 2009.
Third place went to "This is Acting," the seventh studio album
by Australian singer-songwriter Sia.
Rihanna's long-awaited eighth studio album "Anti" came in at
number 7.
