Robbie Williams is currently in the lead in the midweek chart with latest single 'Candy'.

The singer's latest track has sold 73,000 copies in two days and may well be his first solo UK No.1 in eight years - his last number one was his 2004 hit 'Radio'. 

Wiley's 'Can You Hear Me' trails Robbie at number three, with Adele's 'Skyfall' - recorded as the theme song for the new James Bond movie - has risen two spots from seven to five. 

Robbie's new album, Take The Crown, is due to be released next week. Uncut magazine have already reviewed it, stating that the album is 'pure pop' and that the songwriting is 'impressive throughout'.

The Lumineers have also done well, with their single 'Ho Hey' going from 23 to 14. Paloma Faith's 'Never Tear Us Apart' is at 16, while Calvin Harris and Tinie Tempah have made it to number 20 with their single 'Some Nights'.

However, Calvin Harris is doing better on the album chart, with new release 18 months claiming the No.1 spot - while Kylie Minogue trails with The Abbey Road Sessions at number two, 5,000 copies behind.

Fun. have made it to number four with Some Nights, while Madness hit number six with Oui Oui Si Si Ja Ja Da Da. Meanwhile, 2010's X Factor winner Matt Cardle debuts at number seven with The Fire.

Robbie recently announced a meet and greet at Oxford Street's HMV, signing copies of his new album Take The Crown at the central London store on 5 November. He will also turn on the Oxford Street Christmas lights on the same day.

Robbie will appear at the store at 7:30pm on 5 November, after turning on the lights. The event is free - but limited to just 300 wristband holders.

Wristbands will be available for collection during the day from the store and are limited to one wristband per person. Fans are expected to arrive very early at the store to make sure they are first in line to collect wristbands.
