Nathan Evans's viral sea-shanty track 'Wellerman' holds on to the top spot in the UK singles chart.

Nathan Evans has made it a second week on top of the UK singles chart with his viral sea-shanty track 'Wellerman'.

After ascending to the summit last week, the song holds on at the top with a 10,000 chart sales advantage over A1 & J1's 'Latest Trends' at two.

Justin Bieber claims this week's highest new entry, landing at three with 'Peaches', while his track 'Hold On' is up 10 places to 21 and 'As I Am' featuring Khalid opens at 24.

The Canadian popstar has to settle for second place on the albums chart, meanwhile, with Justice being outsold by Lana Del Rey's Chemtrails Over The Country Club.

According to figures from the Official Charts Company, the album managed 40,000 chart sales over the last week to become Del Rey's fifth UK number one album.

Elsewhere, indie group Black Honey put in a new chart best of seven with Written and Directed, while Sting's Duets opens at 17.
