Robbie Williams looks on course to claim the 1,000th number one next weekend, according to early sales figures, which would see him equal Elvis Presley's tally of 11 chart-toppers. He was facing competition from JLS and Jake Bugg to achieve the milestone in the album chart, but early indications from the Official Charts Company show he has set the pace and pulled ahead. Williams released his latest album Swings Both Ways yesterday. The first ever number one – 57 years ago – was the big band classic Songs For Swingin' Lovers by Frank Sinatra.
