Royal anthem rules UK charts

A royal anthem marking Queen Elizabeth's 60 years on the British throne climbed to the top of the UK pop charts last Sunday, Reuters reported.

Written by Take That founder Gary Barlow and composer Andrew Lloyd Webber, "Sing" is a collaboration between artists from across the Commonwealth.

Barlow's album of patriotic tunes, including "Sing" and the British national anthem "God Save the Queen", spent its second week at the top of the album charts.
