Welsh singer says he’d like to hook up with ‘Recovery’ rapper after beating him in the album charts yesterday.

The Welsh singer’s spokesperson revealed that the album is currently outselling ‘Recovery’ and is in the provisional Number One slot.

“I couldn’t be more proud of this album and I’m really blown away by the response from everyone,” Jones said. “It’s great to be top of the charts with Eminem, maybe next time we could be top together.”

If Jones’ album stays at the top spot on Sunday he will, at 70, become the oldest male musician to have a UK Number One album. The current holder is Bob Dylan, who hit the top spot last year aged 67 with ‘Together Through Life’.
