Despite being 'banned' from the Radio One playlist, Robbie Williams is having the last laugh, having hit No.1 with his new single 'Candy'.
Earlier this week it was revealed that Radio One considered the track 'irrelevant' to their audience with the BBC instead playlisting the track on Radio Two instead.
Williams knocks last week's No.1, 'Beneath Your Beautiful' by Labrinth and Emeli Sande to No.2 while Wiley's new single 'Can You Hear Me (Ayayaya)' is new at No.3.
Swedish house Mafia slip to No.4 with 'Don't You Worry Child' while Adele's Bond theme tune 'Skyfall' climbs up to No.5.
This week's new Top Forty is quiet for new entries this week, with Calvin Harris entering at No.25 with his Calvin Harris collaboration 'Drinking From The Bottle', Asaf Avidan at No.30 with 'One Day / Reckoning Song', Ben Howards at No.32 with 'Burgh Island' and Benediction by Hot Natured & Ali Love at No.40.
