According to the Official Charts Company, it's the first time sales figures have been combined with streaming data from the likes of Spotify, Napster, Deezer and O2 Tracks, and 'Problem' has received 712,000 over the last seven days, which means streaming has contributed 6% to the overall numbers.

Reacting to the triumphant news, Australian rapper Iggy said: "I'm so happy‎. Yay!" Ariana's manager Scooter Braun added: "Landing her first Number 1 on the Official Singles Chart is an incredible achievement and another benchmark in the continued global success of Problem.

"Thanks to the loyal UK fans whose incredible support has made this possible. This is your Number 1, too."
