Robbie Williams Greatest pop star

Robbie Williams has been named music's greatest superstar of all time.
The 'Angels' singer who hasn't published a song since 2007 topped a poll by MTV, beating his former bandmates Take That and the late 'King of Pop' Michael Jackson, proving he still has a strong following.
A source said: "This proves that Robbie is still a superstar in many people's minds."
Other acts in the top 10 include 'Mr Brightside' hitmakers The Killers, British girl band Girls Aloud and dance act The Prodigy.
Beyonce Knowles, sexy girl group Pussycat Dolls and rockers Oasis also made the poll.
The news comes at a excellent time for Robbie as he launches his return, with his new album 'Reality Killed the Video Star' being released later this year.
It was currently affirmed Calvin Harris is desperate to work with Robbie.
The 'I'm Not Alone' hitmaker who has earlier collaborated with Dizzee Rascal and Kylie Minogue says the 'Rock DJ' star is top of the list of artists he hopes to team up with on his next record.
He said: "I want to work with Robbie, he's my number one target now.
"I think he's just finished his new album with producer Trevor Horn though. Maybe he can come and help on my next record instead."

About Robbie Williams

Out of all the members of Take That, Robbie Williams never really seemed to fit in. naughtily good-looking where his bandmates were just cute, Williams was excellent and smart than the rest, which made him more unique. He also fought regularly with the other team members and their management, primarily because he was occasionally adverse to being so heavily packaged. So it didn't come as a shock that he was the first to leave the band, departing early in the summer of 1995 to hunt a solo career (by some accounts, he was fired from the group). Occasionally, he was quoted as saying his new music would abandon lightweight dance-pop for traditional Brit-pop, but his first single was a cover of George Michael's "Freedom '90." Released late in 1996, the single was a disaster, but his second single, 1997's "Old Before I Die," was more in the vein of his early pronouncements, featuring a distinct Oasis influence.

Williams finally released his first solo album, Life Thru a Lens, in 1997. The album became a big hit in Britain, prompting his second, I've Been Expecting You, in 1998. (The Ego Has Landed, a U.S.-only compilation designed for breaking Williams to American audiences, was released stateside in the spring of 1999.) He introduced a new musical partner, Stephen Duffy, with a pair of songs from his compilation Greatest Hits, then reappeared in 2005 with Intensive Care. Although the album topped charts in Europe and Williams set an impressive concert record -- his 2006 world tour sold over 1.5 million tickets in one day -- a certain creative atrophy was setting in, despite the new input of Duffy. Within a year, he had recorded and released Rudebox, a dance album recorded with half a dozen outside producers, some featured guests, and several covers instead of self-penned material. Rudebox hit number one across Europe soon after release.
