THE LADY and the scamp

T wo of pop's biggest behemoths have released albums within just a few weeks of one another. Lady Gaga's Joanne – the sixth LP in the 30-year- old's career, and the first since her 2014 collaboration with Tony Bennett, Cheek To Cheek – is out right now. It includes

several treasures you're going to want to turn up this summer; read Our Savannah's review on page 76. Meanwhile Robbie Williams is gifting us The Heavy Entertainment show , which includes co- writes with Rufus Wainwright, The Killers' Brandon Flowers, Jewel, Ed Sheeran and

Gary Go (who is a favourite of Gaga's). Like Gaga, Williams' previous album was also all about jazz; 2013's Swing Both Ways featured covers of swing standards as well as originals. It was Williams' eleventh release to debut at #1 on the UK charts, and at the time put him on par with Elvis Presley as joint-second with most UK number one albums. If The Heavy Entertainment Show goes straight to the top of the charts, he'll maintain his spot at number two with Presley and Madonna.

Joanne by Lady Gaga is out now via Universal.

The Heavy Entertainment Show by Robbie Williams is out November 4 via Sony.
