Williams has received a record 18 Brit Awards, winning Best British Male Artistfour times, Outstanding Contribution to Music twice, an Icon Award for his lasting impact on British culture, eight German ECHO Awards, and three MTV European Music Awards.[2][3] In 2004, he was inducted into the UK Music Hall of Fame after being voted the Greatest Artist of the 1990s. According to the British Phonographic Industry (BPI), he has been certified for 20.26 million albums and 9.2 million singles in the UK as a solo artist.[4] Five of his albums have also topped the Australian albums chart, and has sold 75 million records worldwide, making him one of the best-selling music artists of all time. He also topped the 20002010 UK airplay chart. His three concerts at Knebworthin 2003 drew over 375,000 people, the UK's biggest music event to that point.[5] In 2014, he was awarded the freedom of his hometown of Stoke-on-Trent and had a tourist trail created and streets named in his honour. Williams' thirteenth album, XXV, was released on 9 September 2022.[
After 15 years, Williams rejoined Take That in 2010 to co-write and perform lead vocals on their album Progress, which became the second-fastest-selling album in UK chart history[8] and the fastest-selling record of the century at the time.[9] The subsequent stadium tour, which featured seven songs from Williams' solo career, became the biggest-selling concert in UK history when it sold 1.34 million tickets in less than 24 hours. In 2011, Take That frontman Gary Barlow confirmed that Williams had left the band for a second time to focus on his solo career, although he stated that the departure was amicable and that Williams was welcome to rejoin Take That in the future.[10] Williams has since performed with Take That on three separate television appearances,[11][12][13] and collaborated with Barlow on a number of projects[14] such as the West End musical The Band.[15]

Another clue. He covered more square miles (km in today's terminology) than any other explorer on the planet. Makes Burke & Wills look like a pathetic joke.

Seriously, you all have to try a bit harder on your Australia history.

This person was the explorer to view more square km of the planet than other person in the world, flying over endless square km of the Arctic & Antarctic in aeroplanes built from timber (including propeller) & varnished cotton.
He also insisted taking scientific measurements on all his expeditions. Even on the London Sydney air race he was taking 30 minute recordings of atmospheric data. His priorities over simply getting a Sydney airport named after himself. Data in remote & difficult places was his priority & not "selfies".
Just throw a "dart" if your Australian history is that bad & we get an answer from there!

Pretty obscure Jonathan, have to admit I've never heard of him.
