The biographical comedy-drama based around the story of the major label-signed, sea shanty-singing group comes in at the top of the chart.

Previous Number 1 Fighting With My Family drops two to Number 4, while Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse hangs on at Number 5. How To Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World falls two to Number 6.
