Williams holds the record as the solo artist with the most number one albums in the UK. With this latest achievement, he is now in the same league as the Bee Gees.
His total of 20 albums leading the British charts includes both solo work and his contributions with the 90s pop group Take That. Only Paul McCartney from The Beatles has a higher count, with 22 chart-topping albums (including those with Wings and his late wife, Linda McCartney).
In a press release discussing his accomplishment, Williams expressed: “Thank you to everyone who supported the album and the film. It’s an incredible honor to get my 15th number one in the UK. I never take for granted the support from my fans, and I am immensely proud of this film The Best Man. Therefore, the fact that the soundtrack album reached number one makes it even more special.”
