Friday morning, Ed Sheeran’s “Shape Of You” ceded the US iTunes single sales chart throne to Nicki Minaj, Drake & Lil Wayne’s “No Frauds.”<\/p>\n

By Saturday evening, Sheeran’s song had taken back the throne.<\/p>\n

The double-platinum smash is #1 as of press time at 10PM ET Saturday.<\/p>\n

“No Frauds” is currently #2, while Bruno Mars’ “That’s What I Like” (#3), The Chainsmokers & Coldplay’s “Something Just Like This” (#4), and ZAYN & Taylor Swift’s “I Don’t Wanna Live Forever” (#5) complete the Top 5.<\/p>\n

“Shape Of You” appears on Ed Sheeran’s newly released album “Divide,” which debuts at #1 on this week’s Billboard 200 and Top Album Sales charts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[1047],"tags":[40,1873,54,314,107,288,8566,8083,145,1802,5675],"adace-sponsor":[],"yoast_head":"\nEd Sheeran's Smash "Shape Of You" Returns To #1 On US iTunes Sales Chart<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Friday morning, Ed Sheeran's "Shape Of You" ceded the US iTunes single sales chart throne to Nicki Minaj, Drake & Lil Wayne's "No Frauds."
