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. Top 15 Robbie Williams songs (Ranking created using figures from Spotify, YouTube and the UK Singles and Downloads Charts): Feel Angels Rock DJ Candy She's The One Somethin' Stupid (with Nicole Kidman) Supreme Let Me Entertain You Eternity Millenium Shame (with Gary Barlow) Come Undone Kids (with Kylie Minogue) Bodies Radio 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.
