Robbie Williams has won the best male artist award at the German Echo awards.

The Swing When You're Winning star has now won the award five years in a row, and sent a video message to thank fans.

Teen German group Tokyo Hotel won the new artist award, with other prizes going to System of a Down and AC/DC for their Family Jewels DVD. Bob Geldof was also given a special award for his work organising Live 8 and his attempts at poverty relief.
