"Advertising Space" is a song by British singer Robbie Williams, for his sixth studio album, Intensive Care (2005). It was released as the third single from the album on 12 December 2005 and reached number eight on the UK Singles Chart.

Inspired by True Romance, where Christian Slater's character spoke to the spirit of Elvis Presley, Williams wrote a ballad about "a superstar's fall from grace", which Williams jokingly called his "Candle in the Wind".^[1] While interviewed on Parkinson and asked about the title "Advertising Space", Williams stated that he gave particular focus to how after dying Elvis was reduced to merchandising, or remembering "the joke part of his life, the end bit when he got big".^[2] In the video, largely filmed in a room above the Belle Vue pub in Blackpool in the United Kingdom, Williams emulates Elvis in movement, appearance, and habits.^[3]
