Williams Back On Top In Europe

Robbie Williams' comeback is complete - the former Take That star has ended Michael Jackson's reign as the king of the European albums chart.

The Angels singer's Reality Killed The Video Star has debuted at number one, even though the album failed to grab the top spot in his native Britain - he was beaten to that mark by talent show act JLS, who enter the new European chart at eight with their self-titled first album.

Reality Killed The Video Star scores number one debuts in Germany, Switzerland, Austria and Holland.

Jackson's This Is It falls to two after two weeks on top and Bon Jovi's The Circle slips a spot to three.

Crooner Michael Buble's Crazy Love and Liebe Ist Fur Alle Da by German rockers Rammstein also slip a place to four and five, respectively.

The Black Eyed Peas claim another number one on the continent's singles chart - I Gotta Feeling, which spent 14 weeks at number one in America earlier this year (09), has climbed up from two to one on the new countdown.

Michael Jackson will ALWAYS and forever for eternity be THE KING OF POP. Others can try all they want they will NEVER EVER BE AS GOOD AS MICHAEL JACKSON.
