It’s official – Robbie Williams now has more UK number one albums to his name than any artist in history.

On Friday evening, the Official Charts Company announced that Robbie had beaten the record previously held by The Beatles with the release of his 13th studio album Britpop.

Britpop has become the Angels singer’s 16th number one, thanks to a combination of his studio albums, greatest hits collections and soundtrack releases.
