Ed Sheeran's 'Bad Habits' becomes the singer's biggest Number 1 to date.

'Bad Habits' has now spent more weeks at the top of the charts than any of Ed Sheeran's previous Number 1 hits.

This Sunday, the track clocked its seventh week at Number 1 - more weeks than any other Ed Sheeran song.

'Shape of You' and 'I Don't Care' with Justin Bieber were Ed's previous longest-running Number 1 songs.

Both managed a total of six weeks at the top of The Official Big Top 40, the UK's biggest chart show.
