I've Been Expecting You - второй студийный альбом Робби, который закрепил популярность Робби в Британии (синглы Millennium и She's The One стали №1) и перенес его успех на Европу. По пути Уильямс собрал большое количество наград как за песни, так и за клипы, отправился в Тур и выступил с концертом в историческом Слэйне, который чуть позже вышел и на DVD 'Where Egos Dare'. I've Been Expecting You - идеальный альбом и не случайно он до сих пор носит звание самого успешного британского релиза Робби. О нем можно много говорить, но лучше один раз услышать.

Чарты и продажи
Альбом занял строчку №1 в британском чарте на дебютной неделе, несколько раз возвращаясь на вершину и в дальнейшем. Кроме того, I’ve Been Expecting You до сих пор является самым успешным релизом на территории Великобритании для Уильямса и входит в Топ-50 (38) самых продаваемых альбомов в истории страны, а по сертификатам - №10 (1x Diamond).
Все синглы альбома заняли места в Топ-5, а два из них принесли первые строчки - Millennium и She's The One/It's Only Us. Последняя песня стала заглавным саундтреком к компьютерному футбольному симулятору FIFA 2000.
В связи со скандалом о правах на песню Jesus In A Camper Van ее пришлось исключить на переиздании альбома в 2002 году и вместо нее в треклист вошла как раз It's Only Us.
