Robbie Williams has gone straight to the top of the album charts with his latest album Rudebox.

Former chart-toppers Killers slipped from number one to number five, with new entries from My Chemical Romance, Meat Loaf and Rod Stewart.

McFly topped the singles chart with Star Girl, closely followed by Fedde le Grande's Put Your Hands Up For Detroit.

Last week's number one My Chemical Romance's Welcome To The Black Parade, dropped to four, behind Girls Aloud.

TOP FIVE UK SINGLES
1. McFly - Star Girl
2. Fedde le Grand - Put Up Your Hands For Detroit
3. Girls Aloud - Something Kinda Ooooh
4. My Chemical Romance - Welcome to The Black Parade
5. Beyonce - Irreplaceable

It is the eighth chart-topping album for the former Take That star, who is currently on tour in South America.

Last month Williams, 32, called off the Asian leg of his world tour in November, citing stress and exhaustion.
