Much was riding on this album, being widely and inevitably viewed as the first real test of Williams' ability to make it as a solo artist Robbie Williams tickets . When first released the initial public response, despite favourable reviews, was somewhat underwhelming, as it was gone from the chart after barely a month having peaked at #11, indicating that Williams was maybe not destined for a successful solo career after all. It was the release of the single Robbie Williams tickets "Angels" that turned things around. The single itself, while it did not make the Top 3, clocked up five separate chart runs totalling 27 weeks, and is Williams' best selling single with 868,000 copies shifted.

There were rumours that Williams was about to launch a dance album and Robbie Williams tickets 'Swinging II' which would fulfil his commitment to the EMI contract. Work on the dance album surfaced in the form of the first single, "Rudebox", also known as "Rudebox '74" - a sparse electronic production nostalgic of early 80's hip-hop. The project had been kept tightly under wraps in order to gauge public opinion, but when the single was first broadcast anonymously on the Pete Tong show, Williams' Robbie Williams tickets signature voice was easy to spot in the final seconds of the track. Even though neither the album nor the single have been released Stateside, "Rudebox" has been gaining airplay on dance music stations in the US. Williams released his much anticipated dance/electro album "Rudebox" on October 23rd, 2006. The first single Robbie Williams tickets "Rudebox", which reached #4 in the UK Singles chart, was hailed a flop by the Mirror, yet managed to have the same chart peak as Robbie's most famous song "Angels". Essentially, the difference is that "Angels" spent far longer on the singles chart than the "Rudebox" single (which was in and out of the top 40 within a fraction of the time) and therefore achieved far greater sales - highlighting the irrelevance of chart positions (which are merely rankings that are relative only to each individual week) compared to actual overall sales performance. It was also a worldwide hit, reaching #1 in various countries around the world, including Chile, Germany, and Italy, among others. It was the second best-selling single in Europe for a number of weeks and was also the fifth best-selling single in the World for a time, according to the United World Chart. The second single "Lovelight", a cover version of a song by Lewis Taylor, was released on November 13th, reaching #8. The high-pitched vocals have prompted comparisons to George Michael, an artist greatly respected by Williams.
