Robbie William's most popular song ever is not what you'd expect as star takes to Murrayfield stage
Robbie Williams is kicking off his European tour at Edinburgh's Murrayfield Stadium tonight and is set to play a number of his biggest hits from over the years - but which is his most popular track of all time?
Robbie Williams is set to kick off his highly anticipated Britpop European tour at Edinburgh's Murrayfield Stadium tonight on Saturday May 31. The 51-year-old singer, who has a number of chart topping hits under his belt including She's The One and Angels, is getting ready to launch his 13th studio album Britpop after releasing his new single Rocket earlier this week.
However, fans will also be keen to hear Robbie perform some of his biggest tracks from over the years. The former Take That band member, who released his unique biopic 'Better Man' in December 2024, launched his solo career in the late nineties and has enjoyed a very successful musical career since.
But which one of Robbie's famous hits is the most popular of all time? New data from Betfair Slots has revealed his fanbases' top 15 favourite songs of all the time - and the one in the top spot is certainly not what you'd expect.
Betfair Slots measured the popularity of each track by calculating the number of Spotify streams, YouTube views and peak chart positions.
Which one do you think will be on the top spot? Spoiler art it's not Angels!
Infact, it's actually Robbie's 2002 track Feel which comes out on first place.
Released as the lead single from his fifth studio album, Escapology, 'Feel' quickly became an international hit, peaking at number one in the Czech Republic, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, and Romania.
Meanwhile, Robbie's debut solo single - and wedding first dance classic - Angels is just behind in second place, which is unlikely to come as a surprise as it's the first song many are likely to associate Williams with.
Another familiar classic, Rock DJ is ranked in third place.
Completing the top five chart is Robbie's most recent UK number one Candy in fourth position, while emotion-filled ballad She's The One takes fifth spot.
Here are the results of Robbie William's top fifteen most popular songs according to the data they found.

Robbie is kicking off his European tour tonight which will see him headline the likes of London, Manchester, and Bath before moving on to international shows in France, Germany, Spain, Italy and Sweden.
However, it all starts at Edinburgh's Murrayfield Stadium tonight as Williams makes his return to the stage in the capital for the third time tonight to perform to a crowd of over 50,000 people.
The Rock DJ hitmaker and his wife, Ayda Williams, arrived in Scotland earlier this week and enjoyed a stay at the lavish Gleneagles Hotel.

YouTube has stopped working on 5 popular phones - so, is your device on the list?
It's the go-to video app for millions of people around the world. But if you use YouTube, you might want to check that the app is still running on your smartphone. The Google-owned app has quietly updated its iOS app to version 20.22.1, and now requires iOS 16 or later to install and run. That means several older iPhone models are no longer compatible with the app. The affected devices are those that cannot upgrade beyond iOS 15. So that's the iPhone 6s, iPhone 6s Plus, iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus, and the first-generation iPhone SE. Alternatively, if you have an iPod Touch 7, you won't be able to watch YouTube on that either. The news has not gone down well across social media, with one user venting: 'My iphone 6s is slowly becoming obselete.' It's the go-to video app for millions of people around the world. But if you use YouTube , you might want to check that the app is still running on your smartphone YouTube quietly made the change in version 20.22.1, which was released on 2 June. On the App Store, YouTube describes this version as having 'bug fixes, performance improvements, and more cat videos.' However, in the fine print, it also now states that it requires iOS 16.0 or later to run on iPhone, as well as iPad 16.0 or later to run on iPad. Unfortunately, that means the app has been discontinued for the iPad Air 2 and iPad mini 4. Several disgruntled users have taken to X to discuss the news. 'WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS PLANET I HAVE AN IPHONE 6S,' one user asked. Another wrote: 'This is strange because the YouTube app is just streaming video from a server, and many devices with much less power can still do that fine.' And one joked: 'What a long ride its been, iPhone 6S,' alongside the saluting emoji. However, others were quick to point out a sneaky loophole - watching YouTube on Safari, rather than through the app. 'When stuck you could always just use YouTube on safari like god intended,' one user suggested. Another added: 'I've never used the app. Always from browser.' To make sure you can still use YouTube on your phone, it is essential that you update to at least iOS 16 or higher - even if you are using a newer, compatible device. To check which operating system you are currently using, simply open the Settings app, select General, and tap on the 'About' tab. Under the heading 'Version' you will be able to see the currently installed iteration of iOS. If you do need to update your iPhone, from Settings navigate to the tab labelled 'General' and select 'Software Update'. If a newer version of iOS is available, you can press 'Install Now' to begin the update. To ensure you always get the latest software and security updates, you can also consider activating automatic updates by selecting 'Automatic Updates' on the 'Software Update' page.

Upgraded Glastonbury app offers live location sharing and steps counter
Building on last year's revamp, Vodafone's 2025 edition focuses on 'keeping friends and family connected' as they join around 210,000 others at the world-famous festival from June 25, the telecoms firm said. The app now offers live location sharing on the Glastonbury map, in a bid to make it easier for festival-goers to find their friends across the site. Step count tracking has been added to the My Highlights post-festival wrap, so attendees can reflect on the ground covered over the five days. In other key updates, the Shared Line-ups feature will now automatically update, helping festival-goers spot who their friends are seeing and allowing them to plan their day accordingly. A map search feature is also designed to make it easier to navigate Worthy Farm and find different cuisines, locate camping and merchandise stands or discover new stages. It also reprises some 2024 features, including personalised recommendations on artists performing at the festival based on listening habits through Spotify, the ability to share line-ups with friends, map pinning to help users find everything from their tent to a favourite food stall and automatic highlighting when artists overlap to help navigate the schedule. In 2024, the app saw 226,215 total downloads, 88.9% from festival-goers attending Worthy Farm and 11.1% from viewers at home. The app is free for iOS and Android. Maria Koutsoudakis, chief brand officer at Vodafone UK, said: 'We know the app plays a big role in the festival experience so, this year, we have gone even further to ensure that fans can connect with their friends or family and get as much out of Glastonbury as possible. 'Combined with us delivering the most Vodafone network capacity ever on-site, these new features will help festival-goers always be connected, no matter where they are across the site. 'We're delighted to be able to use these features to reward both fans and communities across the UK, by tying the new step count feature to our campaign. Social impact is a key part of Glastonbury's ethos as a festival, and we're proud to be able to play our part in that.' Vodafone's Connect & Charge tent will also offer free phone charging and WiFi on site.

'Love Island USA' contestant exits after clips of racist language surface online
Yulissa Escobar will not be finding love in the villa on Season 7 of "Love Island USA." The 27-year-old from Miami exited the show on the second day after video clips surfaced online that appear to show Escobar using racist language while on a podcast. In two podcast clips shared by TMZ, Escobar used racial slurs when talking about men and relationship drama. Escobar's abrupt exit was not given any context on the show. "Welcome back to Love Island USA," series narrator Iain Stirling said at the top of day two, which aired Wednesday. "Yulissa has left the villa." Although it is unclear exactly when Escobar left the show's villa in Fiji, she was last shown sleeping during the first night with 22-year-old Ace Greene, with whom she coupled up during the first episode. Escobar coupled up with Greene after he was already paired up with another contestant, Chelley Bissainthe. It is also unclear if Escobar was edited out of the show. "Love Island USA" is streaming on Peacock, which NBCUniversal owns. Peacock confirmed to NBC News that Escobar left the villa, but did not offer specific details on the reason for her departure. Escobar, who owns a mobile bar in Miami, has not yet publicly spoken on the backlash. She last shared photos from the first day in the villa on her Instagram story on Wednesday night. She did not immediately respond to an NBC News request for comment. During cast introductions shared on YouTube, Escobar revealed she was in a 9-year relationship prior to coming on the show. Her mother was born in Cuba, and her father was born in Missouri. "I could be fire, so don't play with fire because you might burned, baby," Escobar said in a clip shared on Instagram.
