Robbie Williams has broken the record for the artist with the most albums to reach number one on the UK charts, surpassing The Beatles with 16 albums. The achievement is attributed to his latest album, “Britpop,” which was released on January 16, 2024. Williams began his career with Take That in 1990 and continued with a successful solo career from 1997. He has sold approximately 20 million albums in the United Kingdom alone. “Britpop” is described as the album Williams wanted to create after leaving Take That in 1995. It is his first album since 2019. Martin Talbot, CEO of the Official Charts, congratulated Williams on his success, highlighting his remarkable journey from his early days with Take That to the top of the charts.
