British singer Sam Smith went straight to number one in the UK pop charts on Friday with “Writing s On The Wall”, the theme song to the upcoming James Bond film “Spectre”, making it the first title track for a 007 movie to be a chart-topper.
The song knocked “What Do You Mean?” by Canada s Justin Beiber from the top spot after three weeks and gave Smith his fifth British number one single, the Official Charts Company said.
R City featuring Adam Levine stayed in third with “Locked Away” with former number one, “Easy Love”, by London-based DJ Sigala in fourth.
In the albums chart, electronic duo Disclosure – siblings Howard and Guy Lawrence – notched up their second number one with “Caracal”.
Veteran British band New Order recorded their highest album position in 22 years, debuting in second with “Music Complete”, with last week s number one “Rattle That Lock” by Pink Floyd s David Gilmour in third.
