Robbie Williams: Uk Number
built 254 days ago
Robbie Williams quickly became a celebrity in the UK with a number of other top ten singles, which would typically gather only minor interest in the USA. "Millennium", built around a sample of the James Bond theme "You Only Live Twice", was a UK #1 hit in late 1998, but only peaked at #72 in America.

Much of Robbie Williams' success can be attributed to his 'cheeky chappy' persona and ironic sensibility much loved by his UK fans. This is perhaps a major reason why Robbie Williams has failed to make any impact in the USA - without appreciating his ironic persona Americans see him as arrogant and self-aggrandising.

There's only one Robbie Williams. Top entertainer. Top guy. Class clown. Class act.A man so maddeningly cool he can hold an audience in the palm of his hand while, ahem, adjusting himself with the other. Small wonder (ahem again) that the man is hailed as the UK's most gifted and celebrated star.
