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.

Meanwhile on the album chart, Calvin Harris enters at No.1 with his latest collection, 18 Months - with Kylie Minogue entering at No.2 with her album The Abbey Road Sessions.

Mick Hucknall enters at No.6 with American Soul, Matt Cardle debuts at No.8 with Fire and eighties icons Madness are new at No.10 with Oui Oui Si Si Ja Ja Da Da.

Neil Young and Crazy Horse enter at No.14 with Psycehdelic Pill and Peter Andre is new at No.18 with Angels & Demons. Eva Cassidy's Best Of is new at No.22 and The Soldiers' self-titled album enters at No.23.

Other new entries in the album chart are Black Country Communion with Afterglow at No.29 and Thomas Newman's Skyfall soundtrack at No.36.
