Robbie Williams had the edge on his chart-topping former bandmates Take That today as he was named the greatest superstar in music.

 

Williams, who is about to hit the comeback trail, nudged his old pals into second place in a poll of music fans by MTV.

 

He even proved more popular than late Michael Jackson – despite the huge interest in his songs following his death – who was pushed into third place in the MTV’s Greatest Superstar list.

 

Despite his low profile since the release of 2006’s 'Rudebox' album, Williams rocketed ahead of Take That who have enjoyed a massive wave of interest and success since reforming.

 

The singer is about to return to the fray with the release of a single 'Bodies' in October and a new album 'Reality Killed The Video Star' in November.

 

Girls Aloud are the highest-ranked female stars in the list – voted by MTV viewers and counted down in a programme to be screened by the station on Saturday, MTV’s Greatest Superstars. They finished fifth, ahead of nearest placed Beyonce (8) and Pussycat Dolls (9). Madonna was ranked only 18th.

 

Rock giants U2 weigh in at 16, while Oasis are 10th.

 

Here are the top 20 stars:

1. Robbie Williams

2. Take That

3. Michael Jackson

4. The Killers

5. Girls Aloud

6. The Prodigy

7. Red Hot Chili Peppers

8. Beyonce

9. Pussycat Dolls

10. Oasis

11. Muse

12. Bon Jovi

13. Britney Spears

14. Green Day

15. Metallica

16. U2

17. Kings Of Leon

18. Madonna

19. Queen

20. Calvin Harris

 

What shocking, yet brilliant news :o :D :D

 

I never expected him to be even top 5, let alone #1. This should give him some sort of boost in confidence before returning to the spotlight. I thought some American Female with one or two hits woulve been #1 :lol:

:yahoo: that's brilliant, good to see Robbie where he belongs, at the top!

 

 

Girls Aloud, Pussycat Dolls, Beyonce etc etc ..........
