The Ego Has Landed is a compilation album by English pop singer Robbie Williams. After the success of Williams around the world (especially in Europe), Williams was signed to Capitol Records in the United States, which is a part of EMI, the album was released in May 1999 in the United States and Canada, and later issued worldwide. It is not classed as one of his own solo albums as it was a compilation of his first two albums. It was his American debut album, combining tracks from his two official UK studio albums at the time, Life thru a Lens and I've Been Expecting You. The title is a parody of the famous transmission, "The Eagle Has Landed", from the first manned spacecraft to land on the moon.
