Robbie Williams has admitted that he listens to the charts with dismay.
The singer, who rose to fame as part of Take That in the 1990s, revealed that he struggles with the lack of variety in modern music, noting that all performers “look and sound the same.”
He explained: “If you take Top Of The Pops from 1988, every week, the variation in colors, the eccentricities, the madness and the craziness is extraordinary.”

Robbie, 48, continues: “If you show a chart every week in 2022, every artist sounds like every artist and they look like every artist.
“It’s not their fault, I’m not answering them.”
Robbie’s comments come as he works on his new Netflix documentary, which he promised will be full of content related to sex, drugs and mental illness.

The singer has editorial control over the content, which will be filmed at his £17.5 million mansion in Kensington, London.
He recently said on New Zealand radio station Newstalk ZB’s The Mike Hosking Breakfast show: ‘It will be full of sex and drugs and mental illness.
“They haven’t started. I’m sure it’ll be warts-and-everything, and I’m sure I’ll give away too much information about my life and times.
“I’m looking forward to working with it and finding out for myself what it is.”
He insisted there would be no restrictions and continued, “No rules. I’m more likely than most people to leave it all in, I’ve rarely if ever said, ‘That’s too much, take it off.’ Normally I don’t think it’s enough.’
Robbie added that while he has “editorial control,” the creators are “very, very lucky because I want to expose myself more than anyone.”
He said, “Most people want to do a sanitized version of themselves because they’re afraid of giving away too much of their real life.
‘The public sees that and as a spectator I don’t react very well to that, so I’m not going to do that.’
