Robbie Williams' "Greatest Hits" goes straight to the top of European Top 100 Albums after amassing no fewer than seven No. 1 debuts around the region. The new anthology starts at No. 1 in the United Kingdom, Germany, Holland, Spain, Portugal, Switzerland and Austria.
I guess his GH will continue to be one of the top selling albums through Christmas in Europe. As much as I don't like most of his stuff, it is very impressive how many hits he's had and I have enjoyed some of them, like "Sexed Up" and "Strong." I should download "Come Undone" since I haven't heard that one yet and it seems to be a favorite of many.

Official site: Currently number one in no less than EIGHTEEN countries The 18 Number Ones are as follows: That list is bogus. I don't know the charts for every country listed, but 1) It debuts at #2 in Italy, not #1 like his site is saying 2) There is NO COUNTRY called Arabia. Arabia is a region. SAUDI ARABIA is a country, but since it just says "Arabia" I think again it's a fake list. 3) Billboard says #1 in 7 countries in Europe. Why would they not count all #1 countries? LOL, Robbie making up a lie for his site. |

LOL, Robbie making up a lie for his site. He is #1 in other European countries, including Italy, that Billboard did not mention. ItalyIrelandFranceAnd there may be a chart (international one?) for all of Arabia so he may be #1.. I don't know. |
