honors in Britain, with four wins including album of the year.

2 with 80,000 units sold, while Canadian pop star Bieber's
"Purpose" dropped one spot to No. 3 with 63,000 units sold.
Rapper Yo Gotti's "Art of Hustle" at No. 4 was the only new

week.
On the Digital Songs chart, which measures online song sales,
Rihanna's steamy duet with Drake on "Work" climbed one spot to
No. 1 with 169,000 copies sold.
