Robbie Williams has revealed his biggest regret and it might come as a surprise to some fans, considering his long and storied career.
"My biggest regret is putting that out as the first single," he told DIY."If I’d have put it out third and explained properly it’s daft – I know! I’m not trying to be a grime artist. I know it’s daft.
“In the documentary, the biggest cringe point for me is explaining to an audience who are about to listen to 'Rudebox' for the first time that this is gonna be the biggest single since ‘Angels’. "Then I had another thought about it, that it’s my second most important single because ‘Angels’ gave me the career and ‘Rudebox’ heralded the end of my imperial phase. So in a way I was right, but not in the way I wanted to be."Upon release in 2006, 'Rudebox' climbed to number four in the UK Music Charts and peaked at number two on the European Hot 100 Singles chart.
Noted for its various pop-culture references and distinct British hip-hop sound, the song marked a distinct change in musical direction from Williams.Some distinct references made in the song are towards Adidas Superstar trainers and “pockets full of Durex”, which, looking back on, Williams said he was embarrassed by.
