8. Robbie Williams He is the one Robbie Williams is the most known member of former very popular and today not existing boygroup Take That. Although it may seem that being in such a famous band would open him doors to fame, no one believed he might be popular in a solo career. 　　Robbie eventually signed at Chrysalis where they invested a lot in him and where they believed in him. His first single was George Michael’s “ Freedom” . However it scored well in charts, as well as the following singles, the success wasn’t anyhow astonishing.Particularly, the sales of first album“ Life Thru A Lens” were disappointing. Turn has come with release of “ Angels” , which got platinum,even with “ Only” ＃ 4 in UK chart.Following single “ Let Me Entertain You” with a Pet Shop Boys “ I Wouldn’t Normally Do This Kind Of Thing” confirmed Robbie’s quality and eventually the critics response was good as well. Consequently, Robbie hit UK ＃ 1 album chart, 21 weeks after the release. So the debut was good for Robbie and his new album was very much awaited.First single “ Millennium” from the newest album “ I’ve Been Expecting You” reached immediately after the release ＃ 1 in UK, using the melody of John Barry from “ You Only Live Twice” ,which has been greatly sampled into the chorus.Album itself contains 14 new tracks, where Robbie presents his and Guy Chambers’compositions. As said by himself, the new album is the sound of a more confident, focused Robbie. The album also confirms Robbie’s reputation as a potent lyricist with a canny style, reminiscent of Rod Stewart at his best. 罗比·威廉斯:他是惟一 罗比·威廉斯是曾红极一时现已解散的男孩组合乐队TakeThat中最知名的成员。尽管 人们认为跻身于这样一个有名的乐队会为他打开声望的大门，但没有人相信他会在独唱 生涯中取得成功。 　　罗比最终与克里萨利斯公司签约，公司为他投入了大笔资金，相信他能够有所成就 。他的第一首单曲是乔治·迈克尔的“自由”。尽管该歌和随后的几首单曲在排行榜上都取 得了好成绩，但并不引人注目。特别是他的第一张专辑“透过镜头所看到的生活”的销量 令人失望。随着专辑“天使”的推出，罗比时来运转，该专辑达到白金销量，其中的单曲 “惟一”甚至进入英国排行榜的第四名。与宠物店男孩乐队合作制作了单曲“让我带你开心 ”之后，“我不常做这种事”巩固了罗比的实力，最终评论家也做出了积极的反应。接着， 罗比在专辑发行21周后荣登英国专辑排行榜冠军宝座。 　　罗比的第一张专辑业绩可人，大家对他的新专辑翘首以待。新专辑“我一直在等你” 中的第一首单曲“千禧年”，一经推出即荣登英国排行榜榜首，这首歌将约翰·巴里的歌曲 “你只有两次生命”的旋律完美地选用在了和声中。专辑共收录了14首新歌，罗比推出的 是他和盖伊·钱伯斯的作品。正如罗比所说，新专辑展现的是一个更加充满信心、更加沉 着稳健的罗比的声音。该专辑也巩固了罗比作为一个有巨大影响力的词作者的声誉。他 那令人愉悦的风格令人联想起鼎盛时期的罗德·斯图尔特。
