Actor Taron Egerton on playing Elton John

Duration: 50 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC World Service South AsiaLatest broadcast: on BBC World Service Americas and the Caribbean

Elton John's eagerly awaited biopic is now out and his albums have returned to the chart. We talk to actor Taron Egerton who has taken on the role of Elton and rerecorded his songs for the soundtrack.

We hear from the British band The Amazons who have just returned with their second album.

We play tracks from the latest album by The Waterboys and Morrissey who is back with an album of covers, and new hit songs from collective NSG, rapper Young Thug and another new song from Ed Sheeran.

Ed Sheeran and Justin Bieber stormed to the top of the charts last week with I Don't Care, but can they make it three weeks as the UK's favourite?

Plus, we look at the top five best selling songs and all the high new entries into the latest singles chart.
