What a year it's been for pop music! Now that 2016 is done and dusted and consigned to history, we can reveal the official biggest of the entire year.
Sitting at the very top of the year-end rundown, which counts digital, physical and streaming equivalent sales, is – what else? – Drake's One Dance, feat. Wizkid and Kyla.
One Dance was the inescapable sound of the summer in 2016, notching up an astonishing 15 weeks at Number 1, leveling with Wet Wet Wet's epic stint with Love Is All Around in 1994 but falling short of the all-time record.
One Dance, which was Drake's first Number 1 as a lead artist, has racked up 1.95 millions combined sales, made up of 530,000 downloads and an impressive 142 million streams. Along with being the most streamed song of 2016, One Dance also enjoyed the biggest one-week combined sales figure for a Number 1 single of the year so far, notching up 140,000 during its fourth week at the top in April.

Up in second with a combined tally of 1.49 million, it's Lukas Graham's 7 Years. The Danish band spent five weeks at Number 1, and actually finishes top of this year's sales-only countdown.
Sia's Cheap Thrills spent 38 weeks in the Top 40 but missed out on a Number 1 – it does, however, claim its place as the third biggest song of the year, with 1.46m combined sales.
Mike Posner's big comeback track I Took A Pill In Ibiza (Seeb remix) spent four weeks at the summit in March/April and is our fourth biggest tune of the year, with a tally of 1.38m.
Golden collaborators Calvin Harris and Rihanna reunited for This Is What You Came For, and while it stalled at Number 2 thanks to Drake, it still finishes in fifth, racking up 1.28m combined sales over 2016.
Zara Larsson's Lush Life scored 13 weeks in the Top 10 this spring, and is sixth biggest song of 2016 1.16m), and The Chainsmokers appear in seventh place with Closer (1.15m), and Justin Bieber's Love Yourself claims 1.14m combined sales to take eighth.
