Today I up-dated these 2 UK No.1's Lists. It is hard to believe that Robbie William's has had more UK No.1 Albums than
ABBA - 12 to ABBA's 9. He's also had more German No.1 Albums than ABBA - 11. ABBA have had 7 there. If his latest
Album had gone to No.1 in Germany, he'd be the British Act with the most there - 12. However, it has entered at No.2,
so he remains tied with The Beatles with 11 German No.1 Albums. In the UK, he has actually sang on 16 No.1 Albums.
The 12 that he's had as a Solo Act, & 4 with Take That.
NOTE -- As you can see, the fact that Robbie William's latest No.1 Album is his 12th & his 35th No.1 Album
Week, moves him up in both Lists.
He moves into the Top 10 in the Acts with the most No.1 Weeks List. He moves up to No.7 in the List
of the Acts with the most UK No.1's. As you can see, he is 7th= in that List - with Take That. But their
No.1 Hits are a mirror image of each other - Take That have 12 No.1 Singles & 7 No.1 Albums & Robbie
has 7 No.1 Singles & 12 No.1 Albums.....
ELTON JOHN -- For some reason The OCC does not count Elton's 2012 Album, with the Australian Duo Pnau,
as being a No.1 for him. Even though it is credited to Elton John vs Pnau and all 3 of them are pictured on
the cover. So The OCC give Elton 6 UK No.1 Albums & 28 No.1 Album Weeks - giving him 51 UK No.1 Weeks
over-all. As you can see, I do count his No.1 with Pnau as being an Elton No.1 & he gets 52 UK No.1 Weeks
in my List.

(W/E 15th November 1952 to W/E 17th November 2016)

@@@ = ELVIS PRESLEY -- If you count Elvis's 3 No.1's in 2005 as old No.1's returning there, then he's had
18 No.1 Singles. That would give him 31 UK No.1's - putting him in 2nd place, behind The Beatles. The OCC
give him 21 No.1 Singles.
