Phil Collins has scored an unlikely Number One in New Zealand with "In The Air Tonight", more than 25 years after it was first released.The retired pop icon and former Genesis frontman is reaping the success from fronting the current advertising campaign for Cadburys.The singer has now topped the Kiwi charts, having also apparently been paid $1 million for the use of the song in the global advert."In The Air Tonight" was originally released in 1981 and is also remembered for a cameo appearance in US cop drama "Miami Vice".In April, Collins announced plans to retire from the music business, telling reporters at the Ivor Novello awards "the timing was appropriate" for him to quit.
