In the charts this week we have seen a relative newcomer beating one the big boys in UK charts to the number one spot.

Alexandra Burke and Robbie Williams were both in the race for the top spot this week and surprisingly some might say it was X Factor winner Burke who got the spot.

Burke has sold 89,394 copies so far of her new single “Bad Boys” which means that her single is beating Williams’ own single “Bodies” 2:1 with Bodies only selling 42,751 copies.

According to a source when Burke first heard that she was going to be fighting Williams for the top spot Burke said

“He has a huge profile and an enormous publicity machine behind him. But talent will out. Bad Boys is an absolutely fantastic track and when she performed it on the X Factor, she left both the judges and audience on their feet. Robbie was a huge disappointment and received a backlash of criticism afterwards. He is sure to be devastated – he was gunning for No1.”

Well done Burke!
