Ed Sheeran has notched up his second UK No 1 single in six months with Thinking Out Loud - and has managed to break a very unusual chart record in the process.

The ginger pop ninja's track smashed the previous record for the longest time taken from a record arriving on the Official UK Singles Chart to hitting the top spot.

View the lyrics
When your legs don't work like they used to before
And I can't sweep you off of your feet
Will your mouth still remember the taste of my love?
Will your eyes still smile from your cheeks?

And, darling, I will
Be loving you 'til we're 70
And, baby, my heart
Could still fall as hard at 23
And I'm thinking 'bout how

People fall in love in mysterious ways
Maybe just the touch of a hand
Well me, I fall in love with you every single day
And I just wanna tell you I am

So, honey, now
Take me into your loving arms
Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars
Place your head on my beating heart
I'm thinking out loud
Maybe we found love right where we are

When my hair's all but gone and my memory fades
And the crowds don't remember my name
When my hands don't play the strings the same way, mhm
I know you will still love me the same

'Cause, honey, your soul
Could never grow old, it's evergreen
And, baby, your smile's
Forever in my mind and memory
I'm thinking 'bout how

People fall in love in mysterious ways
And maybe it's all part of a plan
Well, I'll just keep on making the same mistakes
Hoping that you'll understand

That, baby, now
Take me into your loving arms
Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars
Place your head on my beating heart
I'm thinking out loud
And maybe we found love right where we are

So, baby, now
Take me into your loving arms
Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars
Oh, darling, place your head on my beating heart
I'm thinking out loud
That maybe we found love right where we are

Oh, baby, we found love right where we are
And we found love right where we are

The single took 19 weeks to climb to No 1, versus 13 weeks for Celine Dion's Think Twice back in 1994.

Meghan Trainor's All About That Bass slipped down to No 2, while Taylor Swift's Shake It Off moved up two spots to No 3.

Bang Bang by Nicki Minaj, Jessie J & Ariana Grande stayed put at No 4 while the top five was rounded out by Jeremih's Don't Tell 'Em.

Meanwhile, over in the Official UK Albums Chart it was T-Swizzle doing the business at No 1 with her latest long player 1989.

Ed Sheeran's x was up one place to No 2 while Sam Smith's In The Lonely Hour rose three spots to No 3.

Last week's No 1 - Ben Howard's I Forget Where We Were - slipped to No 4 and George Ezra's Wanted On Voyage rose three places to No 5.
