Life Thru A Lens
Life Thru A Lens
Life Thru A Lens was the first solo album by English pop singer Robbie Williams after his former band Take That split. After trying to find his own sound during a harrowing period for him, recordings for the album began at London’s Maison Rouge studios in March of that year, shortly after his introduction to Guy Chambers.

The album reached the number-one position on its 28th week inside the charts, the album remained forty weeks inside the British top ten albums and 218 weeks altogether, making the album the 58th Best Selling Album in UK History with sales over the 2.4 Million.[1] Despite the album’s success in Williams’ homeland, it failed to make a bigger impact in the international market, perhaps, the other territory where the album enjoyed similar success was Argentina, where the album reached the top ten in early 1998. It has sold over 4 million worldwide.
