That would beat a record previously set by The Beatles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If <em>Britpop<\/em> hits No. 1 on the charts for Friday, Jan. 23, Williams will have officially taken the record.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Rocket\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/aITfxgbqAvk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I want that more than anything in my career right now,&#8221; Williams said during an appearance on <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/programmes\/m002pg3d\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Scott Mills&#8217; Radio 2 Breakfast Show<\/a><\/em>. He also noted that he has some mixed feelings about beating the record, saying, &#8220;Let me just qualify that by saying I\u2019ve broken the matrix. When that sort of record is mentioned and it\u2019s me, I don\u2019t know how that\u2019s happened, I just know that it has. It massively makes my imposter syndrome come out to play and the first thing I feel is embarrassed about it.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He also highlighted how important beating the record is to him. &#8220;And then the other bit, where the ego steps in is going, &#8216;It\u2019s outside of my family, my kids and my wife, the most important thing to me in the world.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Robbie Williams Is No Stranger to Breaking Records<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Williams tied The Beatles&#8217; record of No. 1 albums last year with his soundtrack for his biopic <em>Better Man<\/em>. He also holds another impressive record. too. His album <em>Swings Both Ways<\/em> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/entertainment-arts-25079172\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">was the 1,000th No. 1 album in the UK<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All 12 of The Beatles&#8217; studio albums topped the charts, except for \u200b\u200b<em>Magical Mystery Tour<\/em> in 1967. A few compilations and live albums have also hit No. 1, most recently the singles compilation <em>1 <\/em>in 2000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Britpop<\/em> is Williams&#8217; 13th solo album and his first new one in seven years. He surprised fans by releasing it three weeks ahead of its scheduled February date. Originally, it was scheduled for release in October 2025. However, Williams delayed it so as not to compete with Taylor Swift&#8217;s <em>The Life Of A Showgirl<\/em>, which surely would&#8217;ve prevented him from beating The Beatles&#8217; record.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Photo by Dan Peled\/Getty Images for AFI<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With his 13th solo album, &#8216;Britpop&#8217;, Robbie Williams is on track to beat The Beatles&#8217; record of 16 No. 1 albums in the UK.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":547050,"featured_media":138,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"byline":{"profiles":[{"type":"byline_id","atts":{"term_id":19,"post_id":80}}]},"savage_platform_role_ideator":[],"savage_platform_role_editor":[],"savage_platform_role_senior_editor":[],"savage_platform_role_photographer":[],"savage_platform_role_illustrator":[],"savage_platform_role_translator":[],"savage_platform_role_as-told-to":[],"savage_platform_role_reviewed-by":[],"savage_platform_disable_recirculation":false,"savage_platform_article_type":"news","savage_platform_vice_article_type":"article","savage_platform_article_intent":"","savage_platform_show_affiliate_disclaimer":false,"wp_curate_deduplication":false,"wp_curate_unique_pinned_posts":false,"savage_platform_featured_image_caption":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","savage_platform_subheadline":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[34,18,35],"byline":[19],"class_list":["post-135","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-robbie-williams","tag-rock-music","tag-the-beatles"],"savage_platform_primary_term":{"category":{"term_name":"News","term_id":11,"term_link":"https:\/\/www.songfacts.com\/articles\/category\/news\/"},"post_tag":{"term_name":"Robbie WIlliams","term_id":34,"term_link":"https:\/\/www.songfacts.com\/articles\/tag\/robbie-williams\/"}},"hide_from_homepage":false,"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
