MUSIC BOX: Robbie Williams' Candy, Lawson Tour Tickets And 'Pop Vixen' Jenn D

MUSIC BOX: Robbie Reigns Supreme

CHART TOPPERS

Robbie Williams laid claim to the pop throne on Sunday as he reigned supreme across both singles and album charts.

The aptly named Take the Crown was a new entry at the top of the album charts while Candy, his 14th number one, stayed at the top of the singles chart for the second week in a row.

Programme chiefs decided the song was not appropriate for the target audience of 15 to 29-year-olds but it became his first solo number one for eight years despite the lack of coverage on the prime time show.

Take the Crown is Williams' tenth number one album in 15 years as a solo artist, and it is the second time he has topped both charts simultaneously, according to the Official Charts Company.

The last time was in December 2001 when Something Stupid, his duet with actress Nicole Kidman, hit the top spot during his easy listening covers album Swing When You're Winning's seven week stay at the top of the album chart.

Labrinth FT Emeli Sande spent a second week at number two with former chart-topper Beneath Your Beautiful.

In the album chart Williams was the highest of four new entries in the top five.

Dutch violinist Andre Rieu came in at number two with Magic Of The Movies, his collection of film score classics.

GIGS TO LOOK OUT FOR

Lawson, whose hits include 'When She Was Mine' and 'Taking Over Me', have seen all four of their tours in the past 18 months sell out completely and it's left plenty of fans wanting more.

Therefore the four-piece band, who had their mainstream breakthrough after becoming the support act for one of Britain’s biggest pop bands, The Wanted, have now announced a tour to supper their debut album Chapman Square, kicking off on 22 February.

Andy Brown, Joel Peat, Ryan Fletcher and Adam Pitts of Lawson
