Ed Sheeran is ending the year at the top where he started.

He breaks a UK chart record previously held by Sam Smith this week as his third album ÷ returns to Number 1 on the Official Albums Chart for its seventh run at the top.

This means the hugely successful album has spent 19 weeks at the summit of the chart, meanwhile 'Perfect' stays at Number 1 over on the UK Singles Chart.

I found a love for me
Oh darling, just dive right in and follow my lead
Well, I found a girl, beautiful and sweet
Oh, I never knew you were the someone waitin' for me
'Cause we were just kids when we fell in love
Not knowin' what it was
I will not give you up this time
But darling, just kiss me slow, your heart is all I own
And in your eyes, you're holding mine

Baby, I'm dancing in the dark with you between my arms
Barefoot on the grass, listening to our favourite song
When you said you looked a mess, I whispered underneath my breath
But you heard it, darling, you look perfect tonight

Well, I found a man stronger than anyone I know
He shares my dreams, I hope that someday we'll share a home
I found a love to carry more than just my secrets
To carry love, to carry children of our own
We are still kids, but we're so in love
Fighting against all odds
I know we'll be alright this time
Darling, just hold my hand
Be your girl, you'll be my man
And I see my future in your eyes

Well baby, I'm dancing in the dark with you between my arms
Barefoot on the grass, while listening to our favorite song
When I saw you in that dress looking so beautiful
I don't deserve this, darling, you look perfect tonight

Ah
No, no, no
Ooh, ooh

Baby, I'm dancing in the dark with you between my arms
Barefoot on the grass, while listening to our favorite song
I have faith in what I see
Now I know I have met an angel in person
And she looks perfect (And he looks perfect)
No, I don't deserve this
You look perfect tonight

Following a duet version with Beyoncé and remix with Andrea Bocelli, the single climbed to the top spot earlier this month and stayed there to become the official UK Christmas Number 1.

Ending 2017 with the last Number 1 single of the year would have been impressive enough but the fact he's broken a record on the albums chart is insane.

Last week's chart-topping album falls two places as Eminem's Revival comes in at 3 this week, while Sam Smith's The Thrill Of It All climbs to 2.

P!nk closes out the Top 5 with her Number 1 album Beautiful Trauma, and Rag'N'Bone Man returns to the Top 5 at Number 4 with Human.

Ed Sheeran has ruled the charts in 2017 since 'Shape Of You' charted at Number 1 back in January, going on to spend 14 weeks at the top.

We can't wait to see what he has in store for us in 2018!

We were on fire
I slashed your tires
It's like we burn so bright, we burn out
I made you chase me
I wasn't that friendly
My love, my drug, we're fucked up, oh

'Cause I've been on the run so long they can't find me
You're waking up to remember I'm pretty
And when the chemicals leave my body
Yeah, they're gonna find me in a hotel lobby 'cause
Mmm, tough
Times they keep comin'
All night
Laughin' and fuckin'
Some days like I'm barely breathin'
After we were high and the love dope died it was you

The pill I keep takin'
The nightmare I wake in
There's nothin', no nothin', nothin' but you
My perfect rock bottom
My beautiful trauma
My love, my love, my drug, oh

My love, my love, my love, my drug, oh
My love, my love, my love, my drug, oh
My love, my love, my love, my drug, oh
My love, (oh) my love, my drug, we're fucked up

You punched a hole in
The wall and I framed it
I wish I could feel things like you
Everyone's chasing
That holy feeling
And if we don't stay lit we'll blow out
Blow out

'Cause we've been on the run so long they can't find us
Who's gonna have to die to remind us
That it feels like we chose this blindly
Now I'm gonna fuck up a hotel lobby
'Cause these tough
Times they keep comin'
Last night
I might have messed it up again
Some days like I'm barely breathin'
After we were high and the love dope died it was you

The pill I keep takin'
The nightmare I wake in
There's nothin', no nothin', nothin' but you
My perfect rock bottom
My beautiful trauma
My love, my love, my drug, oh

My love, my love, my love, my drug, oh
My love, my love, my love, my drug, oh
My love, my love, my love, my drug, oh
(My drug) my love, my love, my drug, we're fucked up
Mmm tough
Times they keep comin'
All night
Laughin' and fuckin'
Some days like I'm barely breathin'
After we were high and the love dope died it was you

The pill I keep takin'
The nightmare I wake in
There's nothin', no nothin', nothin' but you
My perfect rock bottom
My beautiful trauma
My love, my love, my drug, oh (drug)
