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. The Rock DJ hitmaker and his wife, Ayda Williams, arrived in Scotland earlier this week and enjoyed a stay at the lavish Gleneagles Hotel.

Suns out and Irish celebs are spotted in Spain
Sun's out – (or at least sun was briefly out) – and that can mean one thing only, celebrity buns are out. As showers intersperse on this June Bank holiday at home here in Ireland, a host of sports-stars, models and influencers have jetted off to sunny Spain to, what is commonly known in social media parlance, 'live their best lives.' Football star Robbie Keane and his glamorous wife Claudine have decamped to their home-from-home, the millionaires playground of Marbella. Robbie and Claudine were joined on their Spanish sojourn by their three children with Claudine's mum Joan also joining the Keane clan's bank holiday break. Pic: Claudine Keane/Instagram Making the most of their mother-daughter time, Claudine and mum Joan posted a series of lookie-likey snaps, as they sipped fine Spanish wine and sampled some of Majorca's freshest seafood. While Claudine and Joan were relaxing and chatting, Irish soccer star Robbie found some like-minded sportstars to shoot the summer breeze with. Soccer mad Robbie bumped into a group of Irish rugby stars who also happened to have headed to Marbella for some summer fun. Pic: Instagram Football boss Robbie managed to inveigle his way into a rugby group shoot and he posed for a snap with the likes of Johnny Sexton and sports PR guru Damo O'Donoghue ,with the lads all looking like they were enjoying some boys time-out. Over on one of Spain's more refined island's, former Miss World Rosanna Davison was showcasing the bikini body that garnered her the title of one of the world's most beautiful women with a series of swimsuits snaps. Influencer, author and mum-of-three Rosanna was soaking up the summer sun as she took a dip in the sea to cool her jets. And Rosanna's hubby Wes, who loves nothing more than larking about, was seen splashing about, with their three tiny tots, in the pool of their rented villa with Wes and their three adorable children basking in the glorious Majorcan sun. And we're going to Ibiza now, where another former Miss Ireland Lynn Kelly was chilling out on the party island. Lynn, who is fresh off her VIP Style Award win, was demonstrating her summer sartorial looks as she showcased a stunning array of swimsuits, wide brimmed straw hats and pretty little dresses. So while the rest of us have to contend with just a sprinkling of sun this rainy bank holiday ,take solace in the fact that our favourite celebs are indeed living their best lives in the sweltering Spanish sunshine.
