Robbie draws level with Elvis Presley as the male solo artist with the most number one albums, as certified by OfficialCharts.com.
Robbie said: “I am over the moon that ‘Swings Both Ways’ is Number One! And such an honour to be the 1000th album in that spot, following Frank Sinatra – who was the first person to top the Official Album Chart, and my hero. Thanks to everyone who bought the record – see you all on the tour next year!”
With a staggering 18.6 million UK album sales, and 55 million globally, Robbie is no stranger to album successes.
“Swings Both Ways” debuted at #2 on the official Irish Charts last week.
