British singer Robbie Williams has set a new record in the national album chart, surpassing the legendary band The Beatles for the number of releases that have reached number one. His new album Britpop has become the 16th number one album in the artist's solo career.
Thus, Williams has become the most successful artist in the history of the British charts in this regard. His musical journey as a solo artist began in 1997 with his debut album Life Thru A Lens, and since then he has consistently remained one of the key figures in the British pop scene.
Commenting on the achievement, the musician admitted that he finds it hard to grasp the scale of his success. "It's incredible. Absolutely incredible," Williams stated in an interview with BBC News, adding in his characteristic ironic manner that the "elasticity of success" has now become even longer and "wraps around Venus."
