"Radio" is a song by British pop singer Robbie Williams. It was the first single from his hits compilation Greatest Hits, released in 2004. The video includes tattooed cheerleaders in masks doing flips, Williams being fawned over as a snake emerges from his trousers, and Williams' eyes morphing into lizard eyes. The song also features robo-type music.

Chart success

"Radio" became Williams' sixth number one single in the UK Singles Chart, selling 41,734 in its first week.[1] To date the song has sold 100,000 copies in the UK.[2] The song also topped the charts in Portugal and Denmark and reached the top ten across Europe and Latin America. In Australia, the single charted at number-twelve and after seven weeks on the charts, the single was certified Gold.[3]

The song was Williams's last UK number-one for eight years until "Candy" took the top spot in November 2012.
