Robbie Williams is launching his new album 'Reality Killed The Video Star' on Spotify three days ahead of its release.

Fans will be able to listen to the record in its entirety from Friday (November 6) on the music streaming service and advert free if you've already signed up to Spotify Premium.

As well as his eighth studio album, Robbie will launch his own Spotify Playlist on Friday featuring Frank Sinatra's 'Witchcraft', Gene Kelly's 'Singing In The Rain', George Michael's 'Careless Whisper' and more.

U2 were the first act to pre-release their album on Spotify back in March with 'No Line On The Horizon'.

Although the record shot straight to number one the following week, it has been blighted by poor sales compared to U2's previous efforts.
