Robbie Williams has secured a major milestone on the UK album chart, surpassing The Beatles to become the artist with the most number one albums in chart history.
Williams' album Britpop, released last Friday, is the 16th number one of his solo career, which launched in 1997 with Life Thru A Lens.
"This is unbelievable. Absolutely unbelievable," he told BBC News.
"I've always said my success has been the equivalent of stretching an elastic band from Stoke-on-Trent to the Moon. Well, I reckon the elastic band just got longer, and now it's orbiting Venus."
He added: "It's just sensational what has happened. I feel like the Forrest Gump of pop."
