Alexandra Burke's latest single Bad Boys has gone straight to the top of the UK singles chart on its first week of release.

The song, featuring US rapper Flo-Rida, has also become the fast-selling single of the year so far, according to the Official Charts Company.

Bad Boys has already sold over 185,000 copies - more than half as much again as the next fastest selling single of the year, Dizzee Rascal's Bonkers.

Robbie Williams' comeback single Bodies charted at number two this week, selling some 90,000 copies - which in any other week would have been enough to secure to top spot.

Bodies represents Robbie's 20th Top 5 single (including six number ones) since embarking on his solo career in 1996.

In the albums chart, UK indie rock band Editors leapt straight to number one with their third album In This Light And On This Evening.
