Miley Cyrus twerks her way to top of BOTH UK singles and albums charts; Bad Press is BS!

She has hit the headlines almost every day since her raunchy performance at the MTV Video Music Awards back in August. 

And it seems there is no such thing as bad press for Miley Cyrus as the controversial pop star has gone straight in at number one on both the singles and album charts in the UK.

The 20-year-old is the first artist this year to do the Official Charts number one double - topping the singles chart with Wrecking Ball, and the albums chart with her new album Bangerz.

It comes not long after twerking - the dance move she showed off with the help of singer Robin Thicke during their much-talked-about act - was among a slew of new terms included in an update of the Oxford dictionary. 

Reacting to the news of her doubly-whammy, Cyrus told OfficialCharts.com that she 'can't wait' to be back in the UK next month.

She added: ‘I truly appreciate the love I'm getting from the UK.’

The former Hannah Montana star only scored her first ever UK number one single little over two months ago with We Can't Stop. 

Her previous highest charting album was 2010's Can't Be Tamed, which peaked at number eight.

Miley’s chart topping coincides with her hitting the headlines once again on Sunday after her partner in crime at the VMAs – Robin Thicke – laid all the blame on her. 

In a clip from an upcoming episode of Oprah’s Next Chapter, the 36-year-old singer said he wasn’t aware of Miley’s raunchy antics.

He said: ‘Well, I was on stage, I didn’t see it, you know. So to me, I’m walking out towards Miley, I’m not thinking "sex," I’m thinking "fun”’.

Meanwhile, Eminem claimed this week's second highest new entry - and his 20th top 10 single as a lead artist - with Berzerk.

Conor Maynard debuted at number four with R U Crazy, and The Saturdays are new in at number five with Disco Love.

OneRepublic dropped from number one to three with Counting Stars.

Saul Milton and Will Kennard, aka Chase & Status, went in at number two in the albums chart with their third studio album, Brand New Machine.

Former X Factor star Lucy Spraggan is new in at number seven today with her major label debut Join The Club. 

The singer's self-released album, Top Room At the Zoo, peaked at number 22 on the Official Albums Chart last September before she was asked to take it off sale by the show's producers.

Haim's album Days Are Gone has dropped from number one to number five on the chart, while the Arctic Monkeys are at three with AM and Kings of Leon's Mechanical Bull is at number four.
