Robbie celebrates Christmas double

Pop superstar Robbie Williams was today celebrating a double Christmas triumph, after beating a spirited challenge from pub crooner Gordon Haskell to claim the coveted Christmas number one.

As well as topping the singles chart with Somethin’ Stupid - a version of the classic Frank and Nancy Sinatra duet with movie star Nicole Kidman - Robbie held on to the top spot in the album chart with Swing When Your Winning, making him the first act since the Spice Girls five years ago to have a double number one over Christmas.
