No record has had a bigger first week than Cole’s single since Burke’s other Number One ‘Hallelujah’ sold over half a million copies at Christmas last year, according to the Official Charts Company.

The combined sales have helped 2009 to become the biggest year ever for UK singles sales, with 117 million singles already being sold this year ahead of an all-time time previous record of 115.1 million, set in 2008.

Elsewhere in the singles chart, Foo Fighters made their comeback with new single ‘Wheel’ at 22, Calvin Harris went in at 30 with ‘Flashback’ and Paolo Nutini charted at 33 with ‘Pencil Full Of Lead’.

Despite falling into second place in the singles chart, Burke’s debut album ‘Overcome’ went straight to the top of the album chart as last week’s chart toppers Editors dropped down to Number 12.

Elsewhere in the album chart, Seasick Steve’s ‘Man From Another Time’ went in at Number Four, Fleetwood Mac’s ‘The Very Best Of’ charted at six and Spandau Ballet’s ‘Once More’ went in at seven.
