London- Robbie Williams' comeback single, Bodies, did not make it to the top of Britain's charts last week, falling behind the latest hit from former X Factor winner Alexandra Burke. Bad Boys, the new single by Burke, which features US rap star Flo, was proving twice as popular as Williams' new hit by the middle of last week, the Press Association reported, citing the UK Charts Company. Both artists released their new tracks on the X Factor show earlier in October. Burke's version of Halleluja, released right after she won the British talent show, became the best-selling single of 2008. Her new album, Overcome, is set for release Monday.
