Robbie Williams albums in order: Full tracklists, hit singles and successes

The new record, which is set to drop this autumn, will mark Williams's 13th studio album, while the pop star also has seven compilations, 56 music videos, 18 BRIT Awards and even a biopic where he's played by a monkey under his belt.

"I set out to create the album that I wanted to write and release after I left Take That in 1995," Williams said in a statement upon confirming the news of the new album.

"It was the peak of Britpop and a golden age for British Music."

He continued: "I’ve worked with some of my heroes on this album; it’s raw, there are more guitars and it’s an album that’s even more upbeat and anthemic than usual.”

He added: "There’s some ‘Brit’ in there and there’s certainly some ‘pop’ too – I’m immensely proud of this as a body of work and I’m excited for fans to hear this album."
Ahead of the release of BRITPOP, fans might be looking to revisit Williams's previous albums. So, read on for the singer's full discography in chronological order.
