Cheryl Cole tops UK singles chart again

British singer Cheryl claimed number one spot in the singles chart on November 9, setting a record for the number of chart-topping songs by a solo female artist, the Official Charts Company said.

I Don’t Care became Cheryl’s fifth number one, pushing Ed Sheeran’s Thinking Out Loud into second place and Meghan Trainor’s All About That Bass into third. All Of Me by John Legend charted in fourth, ahead of Taylor Swift’s Shake It Off.

Sheeran, however, returned to the top of the album charts with X, 20 weeks after it was first released, holding off the challenge of new-entry Motion from Calvin Harris, which ended up in second place.

Former number one 1989 by Taylor Swift fell to third place, ahead of Andre Rieu’s Love in Venice which entered the chart in fourth place. In the Lonely Hour by Sam Smith completed the top five.
