Robbie Williams secures 15th UK No.1 album with the soundtrack to his acclaimed Michael Gracey-directed biopic, Better Man.
The singer already holds the record as the solo artist with the most UK No.1 albums and with this new achievement he has equalled The Beatles’ record of 15 UK No.1 albums. His total chart-topping UK albums across his solo work and records released with Take That now stands at 20.
Robbie said today: “Thank you to everyone who has supported the album and the movie. What a huge honour it is to get my 15th UK No.1 album. A special thank you to all my fans, whose support I never take for granted. I’m so proud of the film Better Man so to have the soundtrack album reach No.1 makes it even more special.”

Robbie’s first album to reach the top was his 1997 debut Life Thru A Lens. His other solo successes include: I’ve Been Expecting You (1998), Sing When You’re Winning (2000), Swing When You’re Winning (2001), Escapology (2002), Greatest Hits (2004), Intensive Care (2005), Rudebox (2006), In And Out Of Consciousness: Greatest Hits 1990-2010 (2010), Take The Crown (2012), Swings Both Ways (2013), The Heavy Entertainment Show (2016), The Christmas Present and XXV (2022).
The Better Man album, released via Columbia Records, features new versions of Robbie’s biggest and most loved songs which have been re-recorded and arranged especially for the movie, including Angels, She’s The One and Rock DJ.
