Jailbird Charles Bronson\u2019s pop single is a chart-topper \u2013 in \u00adCyprus, at least.<\/p>\n

The long-term lag\u2019s song Only Mad Men Crawl made No1 on the national charts.<\/p>\n

It will enter the UK countdown at No31 on Sunday night and also hit No3 in Sweden.<\/p>\n

The con \u2013 who has changed his name to Charles Arthur Salvador \u2013 vowed to release an album with various singers if he is released from jail following his parole.<\/p>\n

And he said he was over the moon that the charity track \u2013 that was a collaboration with Cyprus-based British duo Lost Vegas \u2013 had been well received.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Bronson told his son George Bamby: \u201cDouble bubble, I can\u2019t believe I\u2019m in the charts in the UK and No1 in Cyprus.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m so proud, I can\u2019t believe it, it\u2019s blown me away. No-one has had a No1 hit record in prison.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s only just started, mate. I was born to write songs and I\u2019m going to do more.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to do an album and invite people to sing along with me. This is just the beginning.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Bronson has invited former EastEnders star John Altman \u2013 who played \u201cNasty\u201d Nick Cotton in the BBC One soap \u2013 to appear on a track after they had a \u201cbust-up\u201d this week.<\/p>\n

Bronson sent the actor a light-hearted message telling him to back off after they released songs at the same time.<\/p>\n

The prisoner said: \u201cI\u2019ll \u00adinvite Nasty Nick to do a duet with me. We can do Unchained Melody by the Righteous Brothers.\u201d<\/p>\n

John released his single Looking For The Love Of My Life at the same time.<\/p>\n
