Kenya Grace has managed to cling on to Number 1 on the Official Singles Chart for a second week with Strangers.

After becoming only the second female artist ever to write, produce and record a Number 1 single entirely by herself (following Kate Bush’s Running Up That Hill), Kenya ends the week with Strangers as the most-streamed track in the UK (4.8 million streams).

But Kenya will have to stay strong to fight off her nearest competition next week, with DJ cassö hot on her heels with Prada featuring RAYE and D-Block Europe less than 800 chart units behind at Number 2.
