Robbie Williams Tops Beatles for Most Number One Albums in UK

London:Pop superstar Robbie Williams overtook the Beatles as the artist with the most number-one albums in the history of the British charts, sales trackers said on Friday.

The news comes a week after Williams officially released “Britpop,” her 16th album to top the U.K. charts.

“It’s him!” The Official Charts Company said, referring to the former Take That frontman’s 1998 hit single “She’s the One”.

Williams, 51, has sold nearly 20 million albums in the UK since launching his chart-topping career with his debut solo album “Life Thru a Lens” in 1997.

“Britpop” is her first song in seven years.

“Not even the confident 16-year-old from Stoke-on-Trent would have believed this was possible when he joined Take That in 1990,” Official Charts chief executive Martin Talbot said in a statement.

“But here he is, on top of the world, the UK’s No.1 album artist of all time!”

Williams has sold 80 million albums worldwide in his 35-year career.

The Beatles are currently second in the British album charts with 15, followed by the Rolling Stones and Taylor Swift with 14 and Elvis Presley with 13.
