Robbie Williams equals Beatles record with latest number one album.

Editor Stephen Hill 25th January 2025 

Pop mega star Robbie Williams has hit an incredible milestone by securing his 15th number one solo album, placing him alongside the legendary Beatles! 

The ‘Rock DJ’ sensation is bursting with pride as his soundtrack for the biopic 'Better Man' has catapulted straight to the top of this week’s UK Official Albums Chart, even outselling the rest of the top five combined!  

In his heartfelt statement, he expressed, “Thank you to everyone who has supported the album and the movie. What a huge honor it is to achieve my 15th UK Number One album! A special shoutout to all my fans—I cherish your support more than you know. I’m so proud of 'Better Man,' and having the soundtrack reach Number One makes this moment even more special!” 

 Combining his phenomenal solo career with his time in Take That, Robbie boasts a staggering total of 20 chart-topping UK albums, just behind the iconic Sir Paul McCartney, who has an impressive 22 hits from his solo work and with The Beatles, Wings, and his late wife Linda McCartney.  

At 50 years young, Robbie, who joined Take That at just 16, has his sights set on a long-lasting career, much like Sir Rod Stewart, who continues to thrive in the industry at 80. He mused to the Daily Star Sunday’s Wired column, “If Rod Stewart is any indication, I’ve had a Rod Stewart-style career, and he still gets to be Rod Stewart. I genuinely hope the public will allow me to be Robbie Williams even at Rod Stewart’s age!”  

The excitement doesn’t stop there! Robbie has just released his biopic 'Better Man' in the US and is eager to make a mark, hoping it will open doors for him to tour North America, where he’s faced challenges in the past. “I want to come to North America! If this success resonates, I will absolutely be touring!” he declared.  

And fans should gear up for even more! Robbie recently teased his forthcoming album, promising “massive guitars” and “pop hits.” In an interview with NME, he said, “I wanted to create the album I would have made if I’d left Take That, equipped with all I know now. This particular song [‘Rocket’] captures that idea perfectly. But, as luck would have it, some pop songs popped up, too, and I was like, ‘Ah, f*** – a hit!’”
