To Americans, he had one modest hit "Angels" and maybe they've seen the "Rock DJ" video. That's the best case scenario.

His Wikipedia discography doesn't even include a "US" column, so objectively, I couldn't even tell you what his biggest hits were here. But for me, they were also (all this in about the same era):

Millennium:

and of course, Kids (with Kylie):

His label pushed him once in the U.S. They released "Millenium" to radio here and then re-released "Angels" as the second single with a new video. His debut album  in the U.S. was Ths Ego Has Landed (which was a compilation of his first two U.K. albums). Both "Millenium" and "Angels: charted on the Hot 100 but neither smashed. "Angels" charted more on radio, especially AC. Plus, Jessica Simpson had a decently popular cover of it. But after that, they never went for the U.S. market again. I'm sure they spent a ton of money on the album campaign, and it wasn't a big return.

I (an American) only know Robbie Williams because he was popular when I lived in China, but I still couldn't name a single song other than "Millennium."

Nobody is obligated to know an artist that isn’t famous in their region. That’s an absurd way of thinking. 

Yet y’all keep tryin to shove the Sabrina girl down ours throats

Reading this thread as a Brit when Robbie Williams was inescapable in the late 90s and early 00s and my family were always seeing his tours

Jokes aside, until Rudebox, he was huge, I love many of his songs,  I also had a crash on him for a while, I played rock dj the uncensored one just for the wee wee, but then the video goes ew and like it's the most sex killer video ever.

anyway

Supreme is his best song and Cheese The One second.

Also the songs with Nikel KidPerson

He was also huge in The Netherlands.

Angels, Millennium, She's The One, Feel, Candy, Rock DJ, Let Me Entertain You, Come Undone...All of these were huge hits.

To be honest it wasn't until the movie flopped that I realised he isn't a worldwide star.

He headlined one of our biggest festivals in 2023 and I saw hime there. He's a huge twat but the music is good

Whenever his songs are played on the bbc radio nostalgia shows, I bop so hard. Let Me Entertain You, Feel and Rock Dj are great songs

I'm confused that Robbie Williams seems unknown to Americans. He was one of the big names for a short time when I was around 12. I'm sure you've all heard Angels.
