Robbie Williams will celebrate his 25th anniversary as a solo artist in 2022. On this occasion, the singer is celebrating a special chart record.
Robbie Williams’ (48) best album “XXV” was released on September 9. On Friday, the work topped the UK charts, giving the musician a record in his home country. As reported by the British “Daily Mail”., with the new success Williams has now reached the throne of the official British album charts 14 times in total. In doing so, he broke the previous record held by Elvis Presley (1935-1977) as the solo artist with the most UK number one albums. As a group, The Beatles hold the record with 15 top 10 hits.
Including his work with Take That, Robbie Williams has now had a total of 19 albums to top the UK charts. Only Sir Paul McCartney (80) from The Beatles has more: he’s managed to celebrate 23 chart successes with The Beatles, Wings or as a solo artist.
Robbie Williams: ‘The fans have never taken it for granted’
Speaking on Friday, Williams said of her new album, according to the Daily Mail: “I’m so happy it’s at number one, and while it feels strange to receive an award in these dark times, I want to thank you all for your support, it’s something I’ve never taken for granted and will never take for granted, and I dedicate it to the fans.
In addition to the versions of his greatest hits recorded in the orchestra, the new single “Lost” can be heard on the “XXV” album. “This song is about a time in my life when I ran away from myself and was very reckless,” the singer said in a statement. Williams will tour the UK and Ireland with XXV this fall. The former Take That member celebrates a half-round anniversary this year: the music star has been on stage as a solo singer for 25 years.
