Alexandra Burke beats Robbie Williams to No.1
Alexandra Burke has beaten Robbie Williams to the top of the UK singles chart.

'Bad Boys', her collaboration with US rapper Flo Rida, sold 187,100 copies last week to become the fastest-selling single of the year so far.

Burke, 21, also reached the top with her X Factor winner's song - a cover of Leonard Cohen's 'Hallelujah' - last December.

Williams has to settle for second position after selling 89,238 copies of 'Bodies', which duly becomes his 27th top ten hit since embarking on a solo career in 1996.

Last week's number one, 'Oopsy Daisy' by Chipmunk, falls to three, while Taio Cruz holds steady at four with former chart-topper 'Break Your Heart'.

Meanwhile, Michael Bublé scores his first top ten single after debuting at nine with 'Haven't Met You Yet'.
