Williams has received a record 18 Brit Awards, winning Best British Male Artist four times, Outstanding Contribution to Music twice, an Icon Award for his lasting impact on British culture, eight German ECHO Awards, and three MTV European Music Awards. In 2004, he was inducted into the UK Music Hall of Fame after being voted the Greatest Artist of the 1990s. According to the British Phonographic Industry (BPI), he has been certified for 20.2 million albums and 8.66 million singles in the UK as a solo artist. Five of his albums have also topped the Australian albums chart, and has sold 75 million records worldwide, making him one of the best-selling music artists of all time. He also topped the 2000–2010 UK airplay chart. His three concerts at Knebworth in 2003 drew over 375,000 people, the UK's biggest music event to that point. In 2014, he was awarded the freedom of his hometown of Stoke-on-Trent and had a tourist trail created and streets named in his honour. Williams' thirteenth album, XXV was released on 9 September 2022.
After 15 years, Williams rejoined Take That in 2010 to co-write and perform lead vocals on their album Progress, which became the second-fastest-selling album in UK chart history and the fastest-selling record of the century at the time. The subsequent stadium tour, which featured seven songs from Williams' solo career, became the biggest-selling concert in UK history when it sold 1.34 million tickets in less than 24 hours. In 2011, Take That frontman Gary Barlow confirmed that Williams had left the band for a second time to focus on his solo career, although he stated that the departure was amicable and that Williams was welcome to rejoin Take That in the future. Williams has since performed with Take That on three separate television appearances, and collaborated with Barlow on a number of projects such as the West End musical The Band.
25 Sin Sin Sin
Robbie Williams Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You should feel ashamed
Everyone needs it baby
And I feel the same
Didn't quite catch your name
Hush, hush, hush
Don't say a thing
Let's see what the night will bring
Oh it hurts
When you're too blind to see
Please don't read my mind
I tell the truth to me
Sin sin sin
Look where we've been
And where we are tonight
Hate the sin not the sinner
I'm just after a glimmer
Of love and light
Deep inside
Hush hush hush
To speak is a sin
And neither of us
Need rescuing
Just relax
It's what Jesus would do
We're made in his image baby
Let's ride this thing through
Oh it hurts
When you're to blind to see
What about us
Well it was just for me
Sin sin sin
Look where we've been
And where we are tonight
Hate the sin not the sinner
I'm just after a glimmer
Of love and light
Deep inside
I won't sing of amore
It don't sound sincere
Love is a cliche
But it fits not here
I'll disappear
Sin sin sin
Look where we've been
And where we are tonight
Hate the sin not the sinner
I'm just after a glimmer
Of love and light
Deep inside
Deep inside
It's love
Clean sex joy
I love you
You love my
Hate how it it feels inside
Feels inside
Feels inside
The lyrics to Robbie Williams's song "Sin Sin Sin" discuss a secret and potentially taboo relationship. The singer urges the other person not to feel ashamed and to let go of their worries about what others may think. The chorus repeats the phrase "Sin sin sin, look where we've been, and where we are tonight," which suggests that their actions may not align with society's expectations. However, the singer emphasizes that they should "hate the sin not the sinner," meaning that people should not judge others for their actions but rather accept them for who they are.
The line "Let's see what the night will bring, it might be everything" is particularly noteworthy because it captures the excitement and uncertainty of an illicit relationship. The singer acknowledges that what they are doing may be wrong, but they are willing to take the risk because of the possibility of finding a deep connection with the other person. The reference to Jesus in the line "It's what Jesus would do, we're made in his image baby" is also intriguing because it suggests that the singer is grappling with questions of morality and spirituality.
Overall, "Sin Sin Sin" is a complex and nuanced exploration of love, desire, and morality. The lyrics encourage listeners to reject societal norms and embrace their true selves, even if they sometimes have to keep their passions hidden from view.

Don't let your eyes tell the brain
Don't let what you see make you feel ashamed
You should feel ashamed
You don't need to feel ashamed for what we're doing
Everyone needs it baby
Everyone needs love and pleasure
And I feel the same
I feel the same as you
Didn't quite catch your name
I don't know your name
Hush, hush, hush
Don't speak
Don't say a thing
Keep this between us
Let's see what the night will bring
Let's wait and see what happens next
It might be everything
This might be exactly what we both want
Oh it hurts
It's painful
When you're too blind to see
When you can't see what's really happening
Please don't read my mind
Don't try to guess what I'm thinking
I tell the truth to me
I'm honest with myself
Sin sin sin
We're sinning
Look where we've been

We're together tonight
Hate the sin not the sinner
Don't hate us, hate what we're doing
I'm just after a glimmer
I just want a little bit
Of love and light
Of love and happiness

To speak is a sin
Talking about what we're doing is a sin
And neither of us
Neither of us needs to be saved
Need rescuing
We don't need to be rescued
Just relax
Just relax and enjoy this
It's what Jesus would do
Jesus would love and forgive us
We're made in his image baby
We're all God's children
Let's ride this thing through
Let's keep going with this
What about us
What about the two of us
Well it was just for me
This was just for my own pleasure
I won't sing of amore
I won't sing about love
It don't sound sincere
It doesn't sound honest
Love is a cliche
Love is overused and outdated
But it fits not here
But it doesn't fit in this situation
I'll disappear
I'll leave and forget this
It's love
This is love
Clean sex joy
Pure pleasure and happiness
I love you
I love being with you
You love my
You love being with me
Hate how it feels inside
I hate how this feels inside
Feels inside
This is how I feel inside

Essa música é linda e jamais envelhece. Uma homenagem clara que Williams fez ao ícone Elvis Presley e a crítica de como a sociedade o tornou apenas uma figura comercial de marketing, ignorando suas emoções e sua vida pessoal turbulenta, sua insatisfação e suas angústias. A boneca que aparece no clipe faz referência a sua ex esposa, Priscilla (ela está vestida exatamente igual Priscilla Presley em seu casamento). No trecho do refrão em que é citado Marlon Brando, Williams busca compará-lo ao mesmo final triste que Elvis teve, o qual também sofreu a desumanização social, sendo transformado em um mero produto da indústria midiática (Brando faleceu em 2004, enquanto Elvis em 1977). "Todo mundo ama a sua vida, exceto você", neste trecho fica ainda mais claro o quanto Elvis estava insatisfeito consigo mesmo, depressivo, ansioso e com diversos pensamentos os quais faziam o querer tirar sua própria vida, e, ainda assim, a sociedade queria cada vez mais consumi-lo, pois todos o amavam. Simplesmente uma obra de arte feita por Robbie Williams, a qual merece, de fato, total reconhecimento.

Listening to Advertising Space just hits you right in the gut. The rawness in his voice and the haunting melody create this atmosphere of melancholy that's hard to shake off. It's like a heartbreaking story unfolding with every verse, diving into the emptiness behind all the glitz and glamour. You can feel the pain and loneliness seeping through the lyrics, painting a picture of someone searching for meaning in a world that's obsessed with superficiality. It's a song that leaves you with a heavy heart and a lot to ponder.
