Robbie Williams steals Human Nature's thunder

British pop star Robbie Williams has leapt straight to the top of the Australian charts with his eighth album, Rudebox.
The singer stole the thunder from ARIA winners Human Nature, who've been bumped to second spot after their album debut last week.
The number one spot is evidence of Williams' big fan base down under, who will get the chance to see the bad boy of pop perform live in a sold-out national tour in December.
Williams also won the battle of the new entries this week, with Matt Tilley's comedic Cereal Pest coming in as the second highest debut at fourth.
Indie princess Sarah Blasko and her newest offering, What the Sea Wants, the Sea Will Have, has been welcomed at number seven, while old rockers Meat Loaf enjoy their debut at ninth.
There's been little change in the singles chart, with Sandi Thom leading the charge for the ninth week in a row, while James Morrison's You Give Me Something debuted at number eight.
