Stoke-on-Trent born and bred singer, Robbie Williams, is no stranger to breaking records. His impressive discography includes seven number one singles here in the UK, and 11 of his 12 studio albums went straight to the top spot, with six of those albums earning a space in the 100 biggest-selling albums in the UK. He also gained a Guinness World Record in 2006 for selling 1.6million tickets in one day for his Close Encounters Tour.
It’s no surprise that Williams is something of a record-breaking superstar: he joined pop ground Take That when he was just 16, and contributed towards the band’s 28 top 40 singles, before embarking on a solo career.
His solo work blessed our ears with tunes like ‘Angels’, ‘Rock DJ’, ‘Feel’, and our personal favourite, ‘Something Stupid’ with Nicole Kidman — which isn’t technically a Christmas song, but the festive music video always gets us in the holiday spirit.
Williams then re-joined Take That in 2006, but was he ‘Back for Good’? Unfortunately not. Although the original five-piece did release the album ‘Progress’ during this time, which featured the bop ‘The Flood’.
If this trip down memory lane has you in the mood to see Robbie Williams live, well, you’re in luck! Williams is joining other music legends, such as Tears for Fears and Sophie Ellis-Bextor, at Radio 2 Live in Leeds this September.
