Seventies crooner Tony Christie has become the first artist to top the new combined download and singles UK chart.

Tracks bought over the internet were included in the countdown for the first time yesterday.

But the change failed to shift Christie’s charity single with Peter Kay from the number one spot.

Their remake of the 1971 classic (Is This The Way To) Amarillo remained at the top for a fifth week.

Razorlight had a new entry in second spot with their song, Somewhere Else, while Elvis Presley’s The Wonder Of You entered the charts at four.

In the album charts, Basement Jaxx made the top spot with The Singles after being at number three last week.

Akon rose three places to two with Trouble and Tony Christie’s Definitive Collection fell one to third spot.
