Despacito’s reign at the top of the charts is over as Calvin Harris has managed to dethrone the summer hit.

Harris’s Feels, featuring Katy Perry, Pharrell Williams and Big Sean, is at number one on the Official Singles Chart, rising from last week’s position of number three.

Daddy Yankee and Luis Fonsi’s Despacito, featuring Justin Bieber, had notched up 11 non-consecutive weeks at number one.

Harris’s previous number ones include Dance Wiv Me, We Found Love and Sweet Nothing.

Feels is Perry’s fifth UK number one, Williams’s fourth and rapper Big Sean’s first.

Despacito, which recently became the most-streamed song in history, as it was streamed more than 4.6 billion times, has slipped down to fourth place this week.

Over on the Official Albums Chart, Ed Sheeran’s hugely successful third album Divide is back at number one after a brief dip in popularity in recent weeks.

Last week’s number one, Arcade Fire’s Everything Now, is in third place, below Glen Campbell’s 64th and final album Adios.

The Rhinestone Cowboy hit-maker had recorded the album after his Farewell Tour in 2011 and 2012, after being diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease.

This week’s number four on the albums chart is Rag’n’Bone Man’s Human, and Lust For Life by Lana Del Rey is at number five.
