Overview
- ‘Britpop’ went live on January 16 across major streaming platforms after Williams announced the move with a brief “Out now” post on social media.
- CD, vinyl and cassette plus select deluxe versions remain scheduled for February 6 as part of a staggered rollout.
- The guitar-forward set includes earlier singles such as “Spies,” “Rocket,” “Pretty Face” and “Human,” alongside new tracks.
- Tony Iommi plays a featured guitar part on opener “Rocket,” with other credited collaborators reported to include Gary Barlow (“Morrissey”), Jesse & Joy (“Human”), Gaz Coombes and Glenn Hughes.
- Williams is openly targeting a 16th UK No. 1 album to eclipse the Beatles’ tally after delaying the record from October 2025 to steer clear of Taylor Swift’s release, and he has two Düsseldorf stadium dates on June 5–6.
