January 26Jan 26 OK, finally I'm at PC. --- Robbie Williams matches The Beatles with 15th Number 1 album "What a huge honour this is!" By Carl Smith | 24 January 2025 Huge congratulations are in order for Robbie Williams, who nets his 15th solo Number 1 album with Better Man. The original soundtrack to his acclaimed Michael Gracey-directed biopic, Better Man outsells the rest of the Top 5 combined to stand proud at the summit of the Official Albums Chart; now drawing level with The Beatles’ 15 UK Number 1s. Across his illustrious career, the Stoke pop icon boasts a further 14 solo chart-toppers: Life Thru A Lens (1997), 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 (1), Rudebox (1), 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 (2019) and XXV (2022). In fact, all but one of his studio albums reached Number 1. What’s more, Robbie now nets an incredible 20 Number 1 albums across his entire career. As a member of Take That, Robbie’s also topped the Official Albums Chart with Everything Changes (1993), Nobody Else (1995), Greatest Hits (1996), Progress (2010) and Odyssey (2018). Only The Beatles' Paul McCartney has more, with 23 to his name. Speaking exclusively to Official Charts, Robbie Williams says: “Thank you to everyone who has supported the album and the movie. “What a huge honour it is to get my 15th UK Number 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 Number 1 makes it even more special.” Elsewhere, Gracie Abrams’ former chart-topper The Secret Of Us surges back into the Top 5 in its 31st week on chart. The release of its deluxe edition on vinyl also sees the record top this week’s Official Vinyl Albums Chart. Mac Miller’s second posthumous collection Balloonerism earns the late Pennsylvanian rapper a third UK Top 40 album (16), joining 2018’s Swimming (17) and 2020 record Circles (8). Cheshire-born singer-songwriter David Gray nets his 11th Top 40 LP, as 13th studio album Dear Life debuts at Number 25 this week. And finally, following the release of biographical drama A Complete Unknown starring Timothée Chalamet, Bob Dylan’s The Very Best Of Bob Dylan vaults an incredible 68 spots back into the Top 40 at Number 30. The collection previously peaked at Number 16 on its release in 2013. https://www.officialcharts.com/chart-news/r...number-1-album/

January 26Jan 26 Thanks to JosephBoone for report and all news about ! Albums 01 43,238 Robbie Williams - Better Man (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) [21,266 CDs, 21,314 cassettes, 117 downloads, 541 streaming] 02 9,404 Sabrina Carpenter - Short n' Sweet 03 9,347 Gracie Abrams - The Secret of Us 04 7,807 SZA - SOS 05 7,277 The Weeknd - The Highlights 06 7,224 Ed Sheeran - +–=÷× (TOUR COLLECTION) 07 6,784 Chappell Roan - The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess 08 6,023 Fleetwood Mac - 50 Years: Don't Stop 09 6,001 Elton John - Diamonds 10 5,613 Noah Kahan - Stick Season 11 5,418 Billie Eilish - HIT ME HARD AND SOFT 16 4,756 Mac Miller - Balloonerism 25 3,629 David Gray - Dear Life 27 3,556 Hozier - Hozier 30 3,274 Bob Dylan - The Very Best of Bob Dylan 53 2,563 Fred again.. - ten days [1,898 vinyl] xxx 961 Franz Ferdinand - The Human Fear xxx 729 Lola Young - This Wasn't Meant for You Anyway [total: 7,687] It’s a ‘fab’ week for Robbie Williams, whose Better Man debuts at No.1 on the artist album chart, putting him equal with The Beatles at the top of the all-time list of acts with most No.1s. The 15th such excursion to the chart summit by the 50-year-old from Stoke-On-Trent since he left Take That in 1995, Better Man is the soundtrack to the biographical musical depiction of Williams’ life, in which he is portrayed by a CGI chimp. The soundtrack includes fresh versions of material originally recorded by Take That and by Williams solo, as well as new material. Despite it being credited to Williams, much of the album is sung by others, principally Adam Tucker as ‘young Robbie Williams’, with additional vocals from Tom Bales, Carter J. Murphy, Kayleigh McKnight and League Of Gentlemen/Inside No.9 legend Steve Pemberton. It qualifies as a Williams album as Robbie does provide some vocals for all but one track – Feel, on which he plays a mellotron throughout. Available digitally since last month without charting, Better Man’s No.1 debut was fuelled by consumption of 43,238 units – the highest tally for a No.1 for eleven weeks. The newly released CD contributed 21,266 sales, with digital downloads accounting for a further 117 units and sales equivalent streams for 541 – but the surprise here was how spectacularly the two £8.99 cassette variants (same songs, different artwork) contributed, with a combined sale of 21,314. Better Man thus secures the highest weekly sale for an artist cassette for slightly more than 25 years - in the week leading up to Christmas 1999, Shania Twain’s Come On Over was No.1 with sales of 277,894, of which cassettes accounted for 25,684. The last time any cassette album had a higher sale was in week 31 2001, when compilation Now That’s What I Call Music! 49’s overall sales of 274,528 units included 21,492 cassettes. Williams’ previous personnel record for most sales on cassette in a week is 18,007, set by I’ve Been Expecting You in Christmas week 1998. On top of his considerable solo success, Williams has also topped the chart with Take That, being a full member of the band when Everything Changes (1993) and Nobody Else (1995) were No.1, and rejoining them for 2010 chart-topper Progress. He also contributed to most tracks on their 1996 No.1 compilation, Greatest Hits and some on subsequent (2018) hits package, Odyssey. He could therefore be said - depending on how strictly you interpret his presence on the hits sets - to have had 18, 19 or even 20 number one albums. The higher total is beaten only by Paul McCartney (23, including those 15 Beatles titles). Williams’ career album sales as a soloist total 20,924,037, with his top titles being Greatest Hits (2,683,271 sales), I’ve Been Expecting You (2,624,317 sales) and Swing When You’re Winning (2,459,517 sales). 17,096,439 of those sales have occurred in the 21st century, making him the No.1 artist of the era, with Coldplay (15,591,555 sales) as runners-up. Among solo artists, Williams’ nearest 21st century rivals are Ed Sheeran (14,024,702 sales) and Adele (13,234,037 sales). Its consumption falling 6.77% week-on-week to 9,404 units – the first time it has dropped below 10,000 units - Short N’ Sweet, is nevertheless No.2 for the fifth week in a row, and the 16th time in 22 weeks since its release for Sabrina Carpenter. No album has spent so many weeks at No.2 so quickly, though Ed Sheeran’s X and Divide ultimately spent 20 and 17 weeks at No.2 respectively, while Adele’s 21 also has a higher career tally of 18 weeks at No.2. Back in the Top 10 after an absence of eight weeks, and achieving its highest chart placing since it debuted 30 weeks ago at No.1, The Secret Of Us jumps 14-3 for Gracie Abrams, following its release on expanded deluxe CD and vinyl editions. Its consumption jumps 89.55% week-on-week to 9,347 units. The rest of the Top 10: SOS (4-4, 7,807 sales) by SZA, The Highlights (6-5, 7,277 sales) by The Weeknd, +-=÷× Tour Collection (5-6, 7,224 sales) by Ed Sheeran, The Rise And Fall Of A Midwest Princess (1-7, 6,784 sales) by Chappell Roan, 50 Years: Don’t Stop (8-8, 6,023 sales) by Fleetwood Mac, Diamonds (7-9, 6,001 sales) by Elton John and Stick Season (10-10, 5,613 sales) by Noah Kahan. Exiting the Top 10: Hit Me Hard And Soft (9-11, 5,418 sales) by Billie Eilish and, plunging out of the Top 200 (961 sales), last week’s No.3, The Human Fear by Franz Ferdinand. Released two days before what would have been his 33rd birthday, rapper Mac Miller’s second posthumous release since his 2018 death, and seventh album in all, Balloonerism debuts at No.16 (4,756 sales). It is his fifth chart album and third Top 20 entry. 56-year-old singer/songwriter David Gray’s 12th studio album, Dear Life, debuts at No.25 (3,629 sales). It is his ninth consecutive charted studio set, easily surpassing the No.53 peak of his last, 2021’s Skellig. Gray’s breakthrough fourth album, White Ladder, was released in 1999, first charted in 2000, houses five Top 40 singles including his biggest hit Babylon (No.5), and is the 15th biggest -seller of the 21st century with sales of 3,144,309 units alongside its paltry 45-week 20th century total of 8,299. When it debuted 19 weeks ago at No.7, 1,705 of the 8,166 sales of Fred Again..’s Ten Days album were on vinyl. Said format contributed only 21 sales subsequently but has finally been replenished, accounting for 1,898 of the album’s total consumption of 2,563 units in the latest frame, enabling it to resume its chart career after a hiatus of 17 weeks at No.53. While Hozier’s 2014 BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge cover of Arctic Monkeys’ Do I Wanna Know belatedly becomes his fourth Top 20 hit, his eponymous 2013 No.3 debut album – on whose expanded edition it is a track – enjoys a new nine-year high, jumping 35-27 (3,556 sales). The box office success of dramatized Bob Dylan biopic, A Complete Unknown – in which Timothée Chalamet plays the role of Dylan – sparks interest in Dylan’s 2013 No.16 compilation, The Very Best Of, which jumps 98-30 (3,274 sales), securing its highest chart placing for more than 11 years. The film’s soundtrack album – on which Chalamet appears on 17 of the 23 songs – jumps 146-42 (362 sales) on the compilation chart. The soundtrack to the film Wicked is No.1 on the compilation chart for the ninth week in a row on consumption of 7,037 units (724 CDs, 398 vinyl albums, 191 digital downloads and 5,724 sales-equivalent streams). With Robbie Williams’ Better Man making a hefty 98.71% contribution, cassette album sales soared 3,599.33% week-on-week to 21,773 units, their highest level since week 51, 2002. Cassette sales last year, at 137,373, were 29.33% down year-on-year at their lowest level since 2020. They were at their lowest ebb since their late 1960s introduction in 2013, when OCC recorded just 3,763 units. Their worst ever week, however, was in week-ending 21 June 2014 when just 18 of that year’s grand total of 4,340 cassettes were sold, with a 1996 spoken word release, Memories Of 1966 at No.1 for Geoff Hurst & Martin Peters, with just four sales. Hurst & Peters were footballers who scored the goals in England’s 4-2 win over West Germany in the 1966 World Cup final, and the cassette – a double – saw them share memories with Iain McNay, now, as then, chairman of Cherry Red Records, on which label the album was released. Overall album sales are up 2.32% week-on-week at 2,473,944 units, 6.92% above same week 2024 sales of 2,313,821. Physical product accounts for 298,248 sales, 12.06% of the total. Bonus Information Single Totals 2,259,100 The Beatles - Here Comes the Sun 1,213,281 The Beatles - Let It Be 1,105,006 The Beatles - Hey Jude 1,081,985 The Beatles - Come Together 1,000,008 The Beatles - Twist and Shout [3,374 units this week] 132,686 The Beatles - Baby It's You Album Totals 2,683,271 Robbie Williams - Greatest Hits 2,624,317 Robbie Williams - I've Been Expecting You 2,459,517 Robbie Williams - Swing When You're Winning The soundtrack album contains a mixture of rerecorded versions of some of Robbie Williams’ solo hits with featured vocalists, a Take That song (Relight My Fire) and some songs written specifically for the film. It becomes Williams’ fifteenth number one album. His combined total of 22 number one singles and albums (excluding those with Take That) match the numbers achieved by Ed Sheeran, Eminem, the Rolling Stones and, erm, Westlife. Only Elvis Presley, The Beatles and Madonna have had more. Those number ones have occupied the top spot for 49 weeks, putting him twelfth on the all-time list. For the third time this month, thanks to Colin for that information. p.s. Some edit here: http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?s...p;#entry7696980
January 31Jan 31 85 (75) Robbie Williams - In And Out Of Consciousness - Greatest Hits 101 (1) 1,839 Robbie Williams - Better Man (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) --- Departing the Top 10 – alongside Diamonds (9-11, 5,781 sales) by Elton John, Stick Season (10-12, 5,179 sales) by Noah Kahan and The Secret Of Us (3-17, 4.864 sales) by Gracie Abrams – the Better Man soundtrack slumps 1-101 for Robbie Williams with consumption falling 95.75% to 1,839 units. It is by far the biggest retreat from the summit by any of Williams’ 15 No.1 albums – his previous worst drop came in 2022 when XXV dived 1-18. Last week’s tally for Williams’ career album sales as a soloist was missing a digit, for which apologies. Updated to yesterday (January 30) it is now 20,930,224, including 17,102,626 in the 21st century, and 6,187 in the last week.
