Robbie Williams' New Album Debuts at #1 in Europe

UK pop superstar Robbie Williams has released a new album, and it's wasted absolutely no time in tearing up the charts around the globe. "Reality Killed the Video Star," Williams' first album in over 3 years, features the hit single 'Bodies' (as well as a catchy Michael Jackson tribute track), and has skyrocketed to number one on Billboard album charts across Germany, Switzerland, Austria and Holland. It debuted at number two in his home UK market, though, denying Williams his ninth number one album in the UK. With this sudden resurgence onto the international pop music stage, Williams has been in the news a lot lately, and not all of it has been good. Several news outlets, for example, speculated that he was on drugs during his performance on the UK show "The X Factor," which Williams has disregarded as "rubbish." Faithful fans will be happy to know, though, that the singer has confirmed reports that he's been recording tracks with Take That, the pop group he left in 1995 to set out on his own solo career. Details, of course, are still hazy, but if one thing's for sure, it's that we'll be seeing--and hearing--plenty of Robbie Williams in the months.
