He is the most successful British solo artist in the history of the UK charts (with over 16 million copies sold), and is also the most successful international artist in Latin America. He also holds the record for most Brit Awards won with 15 trophies (The Brit Awards are equivalent to the Grammy Awards in the UK).

Each of his studio albums, and a greatest hits have reached the #1 spot in the UK, and the one album that didn’t (a live album) made #2. This makes him the only artist with nine consecutive entries in the top 2.

His worldwide sales stand at over 60 million.

Loved by everyone for his rough beginnings as a solo artist, or for his ambiguous sexuality, or for his work with successful boy-band Take That (or his work on the track "Kids" alongside Gay Icon and fantastic disco diva Kylie Minogue (Watch the music video for "Kids" here), Robbie is now releasing a new album titled Reality Killed the Video Star on November 9th.

The title which plays off "Video Killed the Radio Star" by British band The Buggles will include first single titled “Bodies” which is allegedly a last-minute addition to the album, recorded after Michael Jackson’s death, as a tribute.

The album will be supported by a UK/European tour starting in the winter of 2010. In the UK Williams was recently voted as MTV's Greatest Music Star.

ROBBIE WILLIAMS is back with an almighty bang.

I have had the exclusive first listen to Bodies, the much awaited single from his new album Reality Killed The Video Star.

And Robbie fans across the globe will be pleased to hear it's a belter.

Rob and I have had our differences over the years but I haven't got a bad word to say about his big comeback song.

He has returned from the wilderness and gone back to the winning formula of good old-fashioned commercial pop, produced by veteran knobs-and-dials man TREVOR HORN. His influence is a stroke of genius, with a rich new electronic sound.

There's a touch of Rob's northern roots and a hint of IAN BROWN about the track.

The tune is a step in the right direction for Robbie after a bit of, er, artistic experimentation on his last project.

The chorus is hands in the air, singalong magic that made Robbie a stadium star.

The lyrics are typical Robbie rhymes, with a bit of religious contemplation for good measure. He sings: "Jesus really died for me. Jesus tried for me." There are also references to "deity" and a bit of Gregorian chanting thrown in to create an eerie atmosphere.

In his time out of the spotlight it's fair to say Robbie hit the muffins pretty hard.

But this shot from the video shows he has shed the extra stone or two and is back in great shape.

In one line of the song he sings: "All we ever wanted was to look good naked. Save me rejection from my reflection. I want perfection."

The girls in Bizarre HQ seem pleased. They reckon he's back to his "fit" best.

I liked the beardy, fat lad-look better.

The shot looks like a scene from No Country For Old Men, with Rob holding hitman JAVIER BARDEM's brutal gas canister gun.

A nod to the title of the song Bodies, perhaps?

Radio 2 are already planning to make the track record of the week and Radio 1 have stuck it on the playlist six weeks before its release.

Bodies is due out on October 12, with Reality Killed The Video Star set to follow on November 9.

Britain has been missing a massive solo star. It's good to see Robbie returning to reclaim his throne.

I'm off to stick a few quid on at the bookies for The Brits to be "The Robbie Show" next year.

ROBBIE WILLIAMS snubbed the chance to rejoin TAKE THAT on their latest tour, fearing he'd be accused of exploiting the band's fame to boost his own career.

However the singer has revealed he WILL perform with the group again - following the release of his eagerly-awaited new album Reality Killed The Video Star in November.

Talking on CHRIS MOYLES' Radio 1 show this morning, Robbie said: "We'll see how it works out.

"I'm excited about it though. I'd like to do it - it would be fun.

"I'll just hold off a little bit and get my album out and then I'll go and play with my mates."

Robbie - who visited the show to play his new single Bodies - admitted he was tempted to jump onstage with GARY BARLOW and co recently but didn't want fans to think he was doing it to claw back some popularity after his flop 2006 offering Rudebox.

Speaking later in the morning with KEN BRUCE on Radio 2, the Angels singer described his relationship with the band as "absolutley fantastic".

He said: "We've managed to put to bed some horrible stuff and come out the other side as grown ups and there's just love there.

"So many bands can't do it, go into a room and say, 'I think this and I think that,' and say, 'Yeah I did that, I'm sorry, I won't do that again,' and we've done that."

Scared

The Angels star - who says he's willing to work with old songwriting pal GUY CHAMBERS again when they're both in the "right headspace" - also revealed his upcoming LP marks a major "turning point" in his career.

He told Moyles: "This next record decides my path.

"There's been a few great songs here and there, along the way, but you just forget.

"You forget what you've done - it's all in the past."

Understandably, Robbie admitted he was "a bit scared" about the response to the album - but urged fans who buy it and lose themselves in the uplifting tunes.

"I want them to dance, I want them to forget about who they are and where they are for 50 minutes," he said.

"And, within those 50 minutes of forgetting who they are, I also hope people relate to the songs."

Tracks featured on the 12-track collection - with a reprise of opening song Morning Sun at the end - include Bodies ("apocalyptic conspiracy-laced"), Starstruck (about "today's modern fame epidemic") and Won't Do That To You ("my very first love song").

Babies

Meanwhile, Robbie has opened up about his love life.

Loved-up ... Robbie and Ayda

Big Pictures
He told Radio 2 DJ Bruce "a new Robbie had emerged", adding that he no longer has "pent up sexual energy".

The singer's been dating girlfriend AYDA FIELD - who's given him the unusual nickname of "Tickles Anunu" - for three years which has mostly been spent "cuddling up on the sofa".

He added: "The missus likes football. She's got a frightening knowledge about football. She supports Manchester United.

Quirky Rob is so happy with Ayda, he wants to have three children with her - in one go.

He said: "I'd like to do that fertilising thing that you do, so that we can just knock like three out straight away.

"That would be the best deal."

Cruel

Speaking about the Take That documentary prior to their reunion - where Barlow, MARK OWEN, JASON ORANGE and HOWARD DONALD were all waiting in a room hoping their old pal would turn up - Robbie said: "I watched it and wished I had been there.

"I didn't know that would be the end of the documentary, I thought that was a bit cruel.

"The production people knew I wasn't going to be there."

Robbie - who describes himself as a "food ninja", favouring a strict diet over regular exercise - also spoke of his interest in UFOs.

He told Bruce: "There's a general misconception that 70 per cent of the population think it's odd.

"I've been going down that road to see if there's anything going on, if there's anything there - the further you go down the more charlatans there are and snake oil salesmen.

"The more you look into it the less you know. I am fascinated with all that stuff."

Robbie Williams' new album Reality Killed The Video Star is out on November 9.

His first single Bodies hits shelves on October 11.

http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol....ed.html

Bodies is released by Virgin on October 12. The album, out on November 9, was produced by Trevor Horn, hence the punning title; Horn’s group Buggles scored a hit in 1979 with the song Video Killed The Radio Star.

Written in Williams’ home studio and recorded in London, the album includes songs written with Danny Spencer and Kelvin Andrews, Brandon Christy, Craig Russo, Richard Spencer and Scott Rudin and Fil Eisler. Among the surprises are tracks written with Chaz Jankel, the songwriting partner of William’s hero the late Ian Dury, and a contribution from his former collaborator Guy Chambers.

The album’s track-listing is:

Morning Sun, Bodies, You Know Me, Blasphemy, Do You Mind?, Last Days Of Disco, Somewhere, Deceptacon, Starstruck, Difficult For Weirdos, Superblind, Won’t Do That, Morning Sun Reprise

A deluxe version of the album will also be released with expanded packaging and a DVD featuring documentary/behind the scenes footage. New track Arizona is the bonus track on the iTunes version of the album which will feature edited footage from the DVD.
