Jackson 5 score UK number one

The Jackson 5 went up at number one in the UK singles chart, after their 1970 hit single “ABC” was sampled by a British DJ. Sigala's song “Easy Love” welds Michael Jackson's vocals to a summery house beat. 

It has beaten the original song's chart peak of number eight. The track even has the seal of approval from Tito Jackson, who said he “loved the track”, according to Sigala.

Meanwhile, in the album chart, Iron Maiden scored their fifth number one with “The Book Of Souls”. The heavy metal icons' 16th studio album had combined sales of more than 60,000 copies - almost double that of its nearest rival, “I Cry When I Laugh”, by Jess Glynne.

Justin Bieber's “What Do You Mean” was dethroned from the number one slot after just one week. But the song still managed to break the UK's all-time streaming record, clocking up 3.87 million plays over the last seven days.

There were 10 new entries in the album chart, as the music industry gears up for the busy Christmas period. The newcomers had a distinctly 1980s flavour - with Iron Maiden joined by A-Ha, Public Image Limited and Duran Duran
