Just like 2017, Pop singer Ed Sheeran has claimed the first number ones of 2018 by topping both the albums and singles charts.
'Perfect' starts a fifth consecutive week as the market's best-selling track and his album 'Divide' gets its 20th week at the album summit, marking the fourth time that the record and one of its tracks have dominated both lists together, reports metro.co.uk.
According to the Official Charts Company, 'Perfect' was the most downloaded song of the last seven days, giving him his fifth week at number one.
Eminem's 'River' came in at number two, with Big Shaq's 'Man's Not Hot' at number three.
Ed's other success comes in the form of being transformed into an actual Simpson, for which the trailer has just been released.
In the trailer, Ed can be seen taking up the role of Brendan, a love interest for Lisa Simpson.
