Now You're Gone sold a further 43,841 copies on its third week at the summit, becoming the longest-running number one by a dance act since Eric Prydz's Call On Me spent five weeks in pole position in 2004. The physical release of Chasing Pavements helped propel Adele's single to a 36.7% increase week-on-week but, at 39,134 sales, it finished 12.03% behind Now You're Gone.
