Pop legend Robbie Williams has scored his 16th UK number one album Britpop, breaking a huge chart record in the process.
He is now the artist with the most number one albums in UK history, surpassing the record held by The Beatles. The only solo studio album released by Robbie that did not reach the top spot was in 2009 Reality killed the video starwhich peaked at number two.
Speaking exclusively to Official Charts, Robbie says “BRITPOP is the record I’ve always wanted to make, and to see it become my 16th No.1 album means everything to me. Thank you to all the fans who have been with me every step of the way. You’ve made my dreams come true.”

Britpop marks a career-defining era for the global superstar, one that actually celebrates the music he originally wanted to make as a solo artist, as well as the glorious sound of the ’90s. We described the album as “less of a standard album and more of a mission: Robbie Williams leans fully into his influences, reshaping them through his own unmistakable theatrical style and reminding us that – even decades into his career – he can still surprise, provoke and truly delight.”
Congratulations to Robbie Williams on this incredible chart achievement!
