has been named as an album icon for National Album Day 2026.

The annual celebration of the album format returns later this year, with set to return on October 17th.

A number of special events and limited release are planned, with PinkPantheress, Max Richter CBE, and Melanie C acting as Album Icons.

Joining the list, Robbie Williams has been named an Album Icon, with his enormously successful solo moment ‘Sing When You’re Winning’ set to be reissued as collectible limited-edition vinyl for the first time in a quarter of a century.

Robbie comments: ”Ask any artist, albums still matter… That’s why I’m happy to be part of this year’s National Album Day celebrating the art of the album, and just how important they are… AND speaking of albums – they’re re-issuing one of mine, you might know it.. ‘Sing When You’re Winning.”

Re-issued as a limited-edition 2LP red/blue vinyl set, ‘Sing When You’re Winning’ stands as one of Robbie’s most successful albums, spawning huge singles such as ‘Rock DJ’. Pre-orders are open now.

A spokesperson for National Album Day, said: “We are as delighted as we are honoured that Robbie has accepted our invitation to champion the album format and support National Album Day, this year celebrating iconic artists and their albums. He is an undoubted music icon and adds his powerful voice to other major artists advocating for the cultural importance of the album format.”

National Album Day takes place on October 17th.
