Subject: Shawn Mendes ends Bieber UK chart run
Written By: Philip Eno on 01/22/16 at 3:39 pm
Canadian teen star Shawn Mendes has ended his countrymate Justin Bieber's extended run at the top of the charts.
The singer's second single, Stitches, took 17 weeks to reach number one, bucking a trend for songs to enter the UK chart at the top spot.
Only one song has taken longer: Ed Sheeran's Thinking Out Loud, which had a 19-week climb to the summit in 2014.
Mendes rose to fame on the video-sharing app Vine, much like Bieber who was originally discovered on YouTube.
He beat his rival by just 1,500 combined sales and streams - although Bieber still had the most-streamed song of the week, with Love Yourself racking up 3.72 million plays.
In reaching the top spot, 17-year-old Mendes ends an unprecedented run of success for Bieber.
The star spent eight of the last nine weeks at number one - and recently became the first artist in chart history to occupy the top three spots, with the songs Love Yourself, Sorry and What Do You Mean.
His residency at number one was only interrupted by the NHS Choir, whose charity single A Bridge Over You became the Christmas number one after Bieber urged his 72 million Twitter followers to buy their single instead of his.
A lack of new releases, combined with Beiber's continued success, has resulted in a top 10 where every single is at least 10 weeks old.

1. Shawn Mendes Stitches
2. Justin Bieber Love Yourself
3. Justin Bieber Sorry
4. Justin Bieber What Do You Mean
5. 99 Souls Girl Is Mine (ft Destiny's Child and Brandy)

I would like to apologize on behalf of my fellow Canadians.
We will give you another Shania Twain one day.

Even though my grandpa was born in Canada, I simply accept your apology on Justin Bieber.
