He found fame as a member of the pop group Take That from 1990 to 1995, and achieved commercial success after launching a solo career in 1996. His debut studio album, Life thru a Lens, was released in 1997, and included his signature song, "Angels". His second album, I've Been Expecting You, featured the songs "Millennium" and "She's the One", his first number one singles. His discography includes seven UK No. 1 singles, and all but one of his 14 studio albums have reached No. 1 in the UK. Six of his albums are among the top 100 biggest-selling albums in the UK, with two of them in the top 60, and he gained a Guinness World Record in 2006 for selling 1.6 million tickets in a single day during his Close Encounters Tour.
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.

Satellites
Robbie Williams Lyrics
She's glamorous
And ridiculous
Ivy league
But one of us
And she made me drop the knife, the knife, the knife
I thought I'd never let it go, go, go
I'm gonna love her all my life, life, life
'Til I die and she gets old, older
And boy she knows
I'm a tornado
But she won't let go
'Cause she's in every single city light
Seeking sleeping satellites of hope
Every single city light
Seeking sleeping satellites of
Hope brings heartache
When the lord has forsaken you
When death's in my eyes
She is every single city light
Seeking sleeping satellites of hope
I'm bueno
Para Nada
An addict
Such a hot mess
She holds me in the night, the night, the night
Never lets me go, go, go
I've loved her all my life, life, life
Even when I didn't know, know her
And boy she knows
I'm a tornado
But she won't let go
'Cause she's in every single city light
Seeking sleeping satellites of hope
Every single city light
Seeking sleeping satellites of
Hope brings heartache
When the lord has forsaken you
When death's in my eyes
She is every single city light
Seeking sleeping satellites of hope
Every single city light
Seeking sleeping satellites of hope
So what have we become_
Now we're so ashamed of everything we've done
Raised on strange love
We were never ever good enough
From a nowhere garden
In a nowhere city
You will see our trail
From here to mars
From here to mars
Come on
But you were sent to me
Hope breaks heartache
When the lord has forsaken you
When death's in my eyes
She is every single city light
Seeking sleeping satellites of hope
And ridiculous
Ivy league
But one of us
And she made me drop the knife, the knife, the knife
I thought I'd never let it go, go, go
I'm gonna love her all my life, life, life
'Til I die and she gets old, older
And boy she knows
I'm a tornado
'Cause she's in every single city light
Seeking sleeping satellites of hope
Every single city light
Seeking sleeping satellites of
Hope brings heartache
When the lord has forsaken you
When death's in my eyes
She is every single city light
Seeking sleeping satellites of hope
I'm bueno
Para Nada
An addict
Such a hot mess
She holds me in the night, the night, the night
Never lets me go, go, go
I've loved her all my life, life, life
Even when I didn't know, know her
And boy she knows
I'm a tornado
But she won't let go
'Cause she's in every single city light
Seeking sleeping satellites of hope
Every single city light
Seeking sleeping satellites of
Hope brings heartache
When the lord has forsaken you
When death's in my eyes
She is every single city light
Seeking sleeping satellites of hope
Every single city light
Seeking sleeping satellites of hope
So what have we become_
Now we're so ashamed of everything we've done
Raised on strange love
We were never ever good enough
From a nowhere garden
In a nowhere city
You will see our trail
From here to mars
From here to mars
Come on
But you were sent to me
Hope breaks heartache
When the lord has forsaken you
When death's in my eyes
She is every single city light
Seeking sleeping satellites of hope

@spiritofmatter1881
I became a die hard fan when I was at the mental hospital for manic episode.
The love you have with Ayda made me believe in love.
And now I have someone who made me drop the knife as well. Your music helped me shape and attract this love into my life.
So thanks Ayda and thank you for sharing love with us.
