Robbie Williams has scored a chart double this week - hitting No.1 with his new album Take The Crown and retaining the No.1 spot with his single, 'Candy'.

The former Take That star spends a second week at No.1 in the singles chart, despite Radio One 'banning' the track from their playlist and deeming Williams 'irrelevant to their audience. His album Take The Crown enters at No.1 on the album chart.

In the singles Top 10, Labrinth and Emeli Sande remain at No.2 with 'Beneath Your Beautiful' while the highest new entry is The Wanted at No.3 with 'I Found You'. 2011 X Factor contestant Misha B scores a second hit with her track 'Do You Think Of Me' at No.9, while the breast-baring Rita Ora enters at No.10 with her first release not to debut at No.1, 'Shine Ya Light'.

Sub Focus enter at No.12 with their track 'Tidal Wave' and Christina Aguilera scores a new hit at No.16 with 'Your Body' - improving on the track's No.34 placing in the US considerably.

A handful of new artists score their first ever chart hits towards the bottom of the Top 40, with Willy Moon, Sneakbo and Gabrielle Aplin entering at 34, 35 and 36 respectively. Aplin's Frankie Goes To Hollywood cover is taken from the new John Lewis advert.

Also new at No.40 is Pink, with her single 'Try'.

Chris Moyles' The Difficult Second Album (don't, whatever you do tell him you don't like it) is new at No.13, selling more than the latest release from Aerosmith. The US rockers enter at No.14 with Music From Another Dimension.

Ne-Yo is new at No.17 with R.E.D. and Kristina Train enters at No.27 with Dark Black.
