Ex-members of Take That Robbie Williams and Gary Barlow go head to head in a very close battle for Number 1

The race for Number 1 has never been so close, as Robbie Williams and Gary Barlow go head to head for the crown position. Both singers have been members of the highly popular group Take That. Robbie Williams left the boy group earlier last year, allegedly having problems with Gary Barlow his leadership. Robbie Williams is the strongest contender this week, debuting at Number 1 with Freedom. The last artist to make a Number 1-debut was Whigfield, who entered at the top with Saturday Night in January 1995. Robbie Williams is the first ex-member of Take That to score a Number 1-single. Gary Barlow finishes closely at Number 2 with Forever Love.

Céline Dion scores her fifth Top 10-hit with It's All Coming Back to Me Now. She already entered the list before with big hits such as Falling Into You and her chart-toppers Think Twice and Because You Loved Me. Her newest single reaches Number 7 this week.
