Can You Guess Who The Most Successful British Solo Act Is?

It's not Keith Chegwin.

Can you guess who the most successful British solo act is?

No, it’s not former Deal or No Deal host Noel Edmonds, who (alongside Keith Chegwin) was responsible for 1981 hit ‘I Wanna Be a Winner’. (Later in life, Edmonds spent some time calling up the nation’s petsto motivate them.Yes, that really happened).

IT WAS BLOODY Robbie Williams. The very silly Robbie Williams. The very talented Robbie Williams. It was Robbie Williams, which you already know, because you’ve skipped this entire paragraph to allow your eyeballs to gaze at the image below. (Hello to everyone who kept reading, and thank you.)

Robbie’s new album 'The Heavy Entertainment Show' has shot straight up into pole position in the charts. This means that, since his 1998 solo debut' Life Thru A Lens', ten of Robbie William’s 11 records have claimed the top spot in the UK charts. That’s more than the late David Bowie. It puts Robbie level with Madonna. Robbie is unstoppable.

"I’m chuffed that this album is Number 1 and I’m humbled by these amazing statistics and facts,” said Robbie to OfficialCharts.com. “Thank you to the wonderful, wonderful team at Sony. I’m as proud of this album as much as any other, and hope that the fans enjoy it as much as I loved making it... this is for the friendlies. I’m very excited to be taking 'The Heavy Entertainment Show' on tour next year."

Want more facts? Well, luckily for you, we were emailed a press release earlier today containing exactly that. 'The Heavy Entertainment Show' is now 2016's fourth fastest-selling behind David Bowie's 'Blackstar', Drake's 'Views' and Beyoncé's' Lemonade.'

tl;dr: Robbie Williams is very good at his job.
