The Media Control charts are record charts compiled by Media Control on behalf of the German record industry. They include the "Single Top 100" and the "Album Top 100" chart. The chart week runs from Friday to Thursday, and the chart compilations are published on Tuesday for the record industry. The entire top 100 singles and top 100 albums are officially released the following Friday by Media Control. The charts are based on sales of physical singles and albums from retail outlets as well as permanent music downloads. Robbie Williams is the only artist who has had three different number albums in a year in Germany—Reality Killed the Video Star hit the top of the charts in January, his greatest hits album In and Out of Consciousness: The Greatest Hits 1990–2010 hit number 1 in October, and Progress, on which he sang as a member of Take That, hit number 1 in December.
