And global superstar Sir Elton John surpasses 400 weeks on the Official Albums Chart with his 2017-released greatest hits collection Diamonds.
The album, which hit number one for the first time in January, has now spent an impressive 401 weeks inside the top 100.
On the singles charts, producer MK, known as Marc Kinchen, spends a second week at number one with Dior featuring singer-songwriter Chrystal.
Dior is also the most streamed track in the UK this week, racking up 5.5 million streams over the past seven days.
US singer Sabrina Carpenter holds steady in second with her former chart-topper Manchild, while Calvin Harris and Clementine Douglas's Blessings jumps three spots to a new peak of number three.
Bieber also bags the highest new entry of the week with DAISIES in fourth place.
Netflix musical movie KPop Demon Hunters yields its first top 10 hit with its album of the same name, leaping 11 places to number nine.
Meanwhile, Olivia Dean's Nice To Each Other soars four spots to a new peak of number 10, becoming the London singer-songwriter's second top 10 song, following Sam Fender duet Rein Me In.

Netflix Wednesday season 2 new cast from Lady Gaga to Joanna Lumley

Wednesday season two is almost upon us and the Netflix series is returning with a bang as it welcomes a host of new stars to its cast. Wednesday season two is on ints way so who are the fresh faces set to make their debut in the Addams Family spin-off? ‌ Jenna Ortega first brought the sardonic and menacing teenager Wednesday Addams to life three years ago, captivating Netflix viewers with its enigmatic atmosphere, macabre wit and shocking narrative turns. ‌ Wednesday is now making a comeback for additional episodes with season two launching on Wednesday, August 6, and its widespread appeal hasn't gone unnoticed, with numerous celebrities clamouring for involvement. ‌ Before its debut, here's all you need to know about the fresh talent joining Wednesday season two. Wednesday season 2 new stars Principal Dort - Steve Buscemi Stepping into the shoes of Nevermore Academy's Principal Larissa Weems (Gwendoline Christie) from the first series is the driven Principal Barry Dort (Steve Buscemi). ‌ He represents the "polar opposite of his late predecessor" and champions outcast pride but takes it to extremes, promoting "normie exclusion in his mission to 'save' Nevermore". Steve Buscemi ranks among Hollywood's most familiar faces, having appeared in blockbuster films including Reservoir Dogs, Fargo, Con Air, Pulp Fiction and The Big Lebowski. He's also fondly remembered for his portrayal of Enoch "Nucky" Thompson in Boardwalk Empire. ‌ Rosaline Rotwood - Lady Gaga International pop sensation Lady Gaga was confirmed to be making a cameo in Wednesday season two back in May at Netflix's Tudum event. The 'Born This Way' sensation delivered a performance themed around Wednesday, with Ortega also gracing the stage to celebrate her inclusion in the Netflix smash hit. ‌ Details about Lady Gaga's character in 'Wednesday' remain under wraps, except that she will portray a Nevermore Academy teacher named Rosaline Rotwood. Grandma Hester Frump - Joanna Lumley Morticia's (Catherine Zeta Jones) mother. The character is the affluent tycoon behind Frump Mortuaries, regarded as one of the most successful outcast-owned businesses in America. ‌ Hester, described as "emotionally cold" and equipped with a "armed with a razor-sharp tongue", is strategic in all aspects of her life, including preserving her family's legacy. Grandma Hester is brought to life by actress, presenter, activist and former model Joanna Lumley, who is perhaps best known for her role in the sitcom 'Absolutely Fabulous'. However, Lumley is no stranger to the silver screen, having appeared in films such as 'Paddington 2', 'Me Before You', 'The Wolf of Wall Street' and 'The Pink Panther' franchise. ‌ Isadora Capri - Billie Piper Billie Piper, renowned for her portrayal of Rose Tyler alongside David Tennant in 'Doctor Who' for five years, will play Isadora Capri. Piper, who has also starred in 'Secret Diary of a Call Girl', 'Penny Dreadful', 'Scoop' and 'I Hate Suzie', will depict Nevermore's new head of music and former child prodigy. ‌ She will take a particular interest in Wednesday's musical talents and serve as a mentor to fellow werewolf Enid Sinclair (Emma Myers). Professor Orloff - Christopher Lloyd Nevermore Academy's most tenured educator, Professor Orloff, is renowned for his strict adherence to the rules, and it doesn't take long for Pugsley Addams (Isaac Ordonez) to catch his attention. ‌ The role of the professor is portrayed by none other than Christopher Lloyd, the iconic actor from Back to the Future, who also famously played Uncle Fester in the 1991 movie The Addams Family. Dr Rachael Fairburn - Thandiwe Newton Despite being a "normie", Dr Fairburn is hailed as a pioneer in the field of outcast mental health and serves as the head psychiatrist at Willow Hill Psychiatric Facility. ‌ She oversees the treatment of Tyler Galpin (Hunter Doohan) at Willow Hill, who was unveiled as the monster Hyde in the first season. Thandiwe Newton, known for her roles in Westworld, Mission Impossible II, The Pursuit of Happyness, and Rogue, brings Dr Fairburn to life on screen. Judi - Heather Matarazzo Joining the ensemble of Wednesday season two is Heather Matarazzo, recognised for her portrayal of Lilly Moscovitz in The Princess Diaries and Martha Meeks in the Scream series. ‌ In the series, she plays Judi, Dr Fairburn's excessively cheerful executive assistant at Willow Hill, whom Wednesday immediately takes a disliking to. Sheriff Ritchie Santiago - Luyanda Unati Lewis-Nyawo Luyanda Unati Lewis-Nyawo steps into the role of Jericho's new sheriff, Ritchie Santiago, taking over from Donovan Galpin (Jamie McShane). She is described as "sharp and determined" and is keen to make her mark, even if it involves enlisting Wednesday's assistance. ‌ Lewis-Nyawo has previously appeared in Devs, Baldur's Gate III, and Back In Action. Other cast members include: Agnes DeMille: Evie Templeton Bruno - Noah B. Taylor Slurp - Owen Painter Wednesday season two premieres on Wednesday, August 6, on Netflix.
