Robbie Williams Makes UK Chart History as ‘BRITPOP’ Lands at No.1

Robbie Williams has made UK chart history after scoring his 16th UK No.1 album with BRITPOP — a milestone that sees him move ahead of The Beatles’ long-standing record.

The new record arrives alongside fresh live dates, including the intimate ‘Long 90’s’ UK Tour in February 2026, where Williams will perform Life Thru A Lens and BRITPOP in full.

‘BRITPOP’ Released and Already Breaking Records

Released on Friday, 16 January 2026, BRITPOP has quickly become one of the most talked-about UK releases of the year, debuting at No.1 and delivering Robbie Williams’ biggest chart milestone to date. The album is a guitar-leaning, upbeat nod to the era that shaped his post-Take That ambitions, blending big hooks with stadium-ready choruses.

Fans can expect familiar singles including “Rocket”, “Spies” and “Pretty Face”, alongside the newer track “All My Life”.

‘Long 90’s’ UK Tour 2026: Intimate Shows, Full Albums

To celebrate the album, Robbie is taking things in a special direction with the ‘Long 90’s’ UK Tour — a run of smaller-venue shows featuring Life Thru A Lens and BRITPOP performed in full.
