"'Radio'" is a song by British pop singer Robbie Williams. It was the first single from his hits compilation 'Greatest Hits', released in 2004. Williams wrote the song's distinctive synth-pop melody by attempting (and failing) to play Harold Faltermeyer's "Axel F" on an electronic keyboard, from memory. "Radio" is Williams's first solo outing without the involvement of long-time producer and co-writer Guy Chambers, and is particularly notable as Williams's last UK number-one for eight years, until 2012's "Candy".
Chart performance
"Radio" became Williams' sixth number-one single on the UK Singles Chart, selling 41,734 copies during its first week. The song was Williams's last UK number-one for eight years until "Candy" took the top spot in November 2012. "Radio" also topped the Danish Singles Chart and reached the top 10 across Europe, peaking at number one on the Eurochart Hot 100. In Australia, the single charted at number 12, and after seven weeks on the charts, the single was certified gold.
