As we discussed earlier this week, Robbie Williams is Britain's ultimate pop showman in chief, and he's celebrating 25 years since the start of his solo career with the new career retrospective XXV.
Currently leading the charge to debut at Number 1 on the Official Albums Chart, XXV contains some of Robbie’s best-loved hits, newly-orchestrated and recorded with the Metropole Orkest.
Now that we've revealed Robbie's biggest singles in the UK, it's time now to turn our eyes to his albums.
To date, Robbie has 13 UK Number 1 albums to his name - the most for any British solo artist, and he's currently tied with Elvis Presley. Only The Beatles have more, with 15.
Watch Robbie Williams accept his Official Albums Chart Number 1 Award for The Christmas PresentDebut albums can be a pressure cooker, but you'd have been forgiven for forgetting that Robbie ever sweated his first album since leaving Take That.
Indeed, Life Thru A Lens' focus on a Brit-pop sound is a curveball most weren't certainly expecting, but then again, who's going to argue against Angels?
Robbie's third album came to fruition after he tried (and famously failed) to crack America in 1999. Still, although Stateside superstardom had evaded him, he re-grouped with frequent collaborators Guy Chambers and Steve Power to re-assert his dominance back home.
And re-assert he did. Sing When You're Winning contained five UK Top 10 singles; including Number 1 singles Rock DJ and Eternity (which wasn't originally included on the tracklist) and his high-throttle duet with Kylie Minogue, Kids.
What do you do when you're at the very apex of your solo career and the undisputed biggest pop star in the country? Release an album of jazz covers, obviously.
