I really hope he hasn't just re-written H.E.S as thats my favourite song thats he's done in recent years, but this already sounds a million times better than Candy did when I first heard it. Quite excited!

Posted by: awardinary 25th September 2016, 10:07 PM

Looking forward to this, hope he can still record good music and critically remain current.

Posted by: Supercell 25th September 2016, 10:19 PM

He's released H.E.S as a single already

I agree. Acting woul be perfect for him. I love HES. I should not look at the charts, but cannot help :-).
Is 32 good for a non-singl by an old artist?
As he has reserved stadiums already in Germany and Austria for next summer I assume that he will try a stadium tour.
I also pondered how 'party like a Russian' may sound and being judged in times of the political climate

Posted by: jay727 29th September 2016, 02:49 PM

I must say, I like HES...but Party Like a Russian is awful. Sounds like a rudebox reject. He'd be better using HES as the lead single...

Posted by: gooddelta 29th September 2016, 03:02 PM

Samples Dance of the Knights by Sergei Prokofiev then, like The Apprentice theme.

It's very heavily produced, sort of sounds like it could have come out in 2000 though. I don't love it or think it works in 2016 and don't think it will be a hit, not sure how this album will perform for him tbh.

Posted by: Cameron 29th September 2016, 03:10 PM

These days, Robbie is usually an album artist, so I expect it will at least manage a gold certification

Posted by: elisabeth1973 29th September 2016, 05:37 PM

can't see it being a hit either. Wonder why they had chosen it

Posted by: jay727 29th September 2016, 06:32 PM

Maybe that's why he has a second single lined up soon after? I hope this isn't going to be a Rudebox-esc experimentation...

Posted by: elisabeth1973 29th September 2016, 07:54 PM

not for the album

Posted by: Supercell 29th September 2016, 10:46 PM

Hmmm not sure what to make of Party Like A Russian. Sounds alright till it gets to the chorus, the sample doesn't work at all.

Know idea how this will perform, its not anywhere near as catchy as Candy. Bad Mother****** would have been a better lead single or Sensational

Posted by: Supercell 30th September 2016, 01:30 PM

Well, now the song is #3 on iTunes here.
Since 2002 year his profile hasn't been so high in Russia, at least for yesterday!

He was on news TV channels and not for 30 seconds: from 1 to 5 minutes per plot.

A lot of people who don't know English asked Djs on radio if Robbie attacks Russia or not.
So a lot of conversations in media and in society.

50% people enjoy the song, 50% use bad words.

He has achieved what he wanted. For all those who do not follow him that close;y as the fans he had not done two huge tours but was away especially in Britain. This song made people speak about him no matter if good or bad and Russia is a perspective rour destination too.
The next song he will publish - and that is the reason he publishes it so fast after PLAR in my opinion - will be the important pleaser for anyone.

So by the time the album comes out on 4th November Robbie will have released three singles and presumably the one he will sing on XF (if he gets a spot) will be the ballad that's out 21st October?

That's a different strategy to before isn't it.

Posted by: Tombo 2nd October 2016, 05:36 AM

PLAR is amazing, HES is good too. I find it interesting the he had a song called H.E.S. and now an album called Heavy Entertainment Show. Both HES songs are good though.

Just listening to the live version of Motherf***er now, it is pretty good

I have not expected different, but i am sure he will do good with the album and he will sell well for thr tour. As far as I saw in the official charts even Niall Horan only made it to the top 100 on place 100 and he is from 1D.
Can someone explain to me how this streaming counting works? Do they have to pay for streaming? I have no idea :-)
Apart of that I am and the fact that I am not that a huge fan of PLAR I like the marketing strategy of Sony.

yes. and Robbies 4h hours, but Robbie is a yesteryeared dinosaur who is not one of the top acts of the most successful boybands ever. I thnk Niall will climb, nevertheless top artists like Buble, Gaga, Murs are also charting nit as years ago. However, I don't think that Robbie will have a no 1 spot anytime soon anymore with singles. I am almost sure though that the album will chart very well

Posted by: jay727 3rd October 2016, 05:53 PM

It's not just Robbie, the streaming thing has hit all similar artists. The top 20 rarely changes much these days because of it. But Robbie doesn't help himself by releasing a very marmite song. I wonder if he'll do a medley of HES, PLAR and the next single on XF...

Yes - it's an age thing. I don't think there's anything he can do about it. Just use the singles as promo for the album and see how that does.

I listened to HES and PLAR today and I still think they made the right choice of single out of the two. He wanted to be bold and he has been. I love both songs and hope the album is represented by these two.

On XF (if he's on) I'm expecting him to perform the second single that's out on Oct 21st. Then two weeks later the album is out.

He's fighting for his place amongst the youngsters and I admire that. You always know he's going to try his hardest.

Posted by: Sydney11 4th October 2016, 05:18 AM

I think landing PLAR as the lead off single was a good decision on Robbie's part , look at the comments on YT . 90% of them are from the Russian community & I think that is where his focus is this time around when it comes to his tour next year. Touring is where the bib bucks are for an artist like Robbie who is getting older, he certainly is not going to appeal to young people when it comes to buying his albums or singles . He did a lot of weddings in the past couple of years so I'm guessing it was part of a long term plan.

Posted by: Sydney11 4th October 2016, 06:14 AM

Some info on the actual PLAR video .

I like the video , it reminds somewhat of the video that he did for Sexed Up

I had both HES and PLAR on repeat in my car this morning - I'm really enjoying both. I can't really pick between the two. They're both excellent tracks and I hope the whole of the album is in the same "big/bold" vein.

Interesting that the video to PLAR is number one on the Itunes video chart and yet no one is buying the download. What sort of correlation is that?

I really don't understand the charts anymore. Pleased to see the video do so well though. It is brilliant.

Posted by: Better Man 4th October 2016, 11:39 PM

Maybe not everybody knows that there is a collaboration between The Killers and Robbie at the album.
This song called Mixed Signals. Track number 3.

Need to say there is a strong connection between Brandon and Robbie since summer...actually since Avicii's The Days...actually since 2009 when Rob named Human his recent fave song...actually since Live 8 in 2005 where Rob sang a few lines of All These Things That I've Done.

Well, Brandon used the same jacket (as Robbie in the clip) at The Killers concert last Friday. Both good lads!

In overall terms I would hardly call it a disaster... PLAR was put out for a reason & I think it was to do with marketing Robbie in Russia , nowhere else , he did do a lot of weddings there in recent years & what better way to introduce oneself than people having to ask themselves if he is insulting them or not !! , he certainly grabbed their attention ..

Party Like a Russian
October 04, 2016
So welcome to my second blog post! This week has been really exciting as we have unleashed unto the world, a new single - Party Like a Russian. It's been fascinating to see it's progress, making it onto the news in Russia and creating loads of energy on YouTube with lots of Russian comments. I have to admit I was a little nervous about this song going public but it seems to be getting a lot of attention and that isn't easy in this media saturated world! Our gig at the Roundhouse was a joy and we have been rehearsing for a little acoustic show which has been a completely different challenge - Party Like a Russian acoustic is a musical rub cube. We got the inspiration for the title from wandering around Red Square in Moscow, feeling the ghosts of all it's history. We were playing an oligarch's party that night and I was thinking it would be fun to write something Russian influenced and fun (but also a little scary at the same time).

Stay tuned!

He seems to thrive in this kind of situation - nothing seems to phase him.

Single in at sixty something. Such a shame but I'm not surprised. I haven't heard it once on the radio It's a shame the millions of video watches don't count for something.

I hope he never changes. I love his unpredictability. It's kept me a fan all these years. Literally never knowing what he's going to do next.

The album sampler is here




Mixed Signals, Love My Life and Hotel Crazy don't sound good.

Motherf***er, David's Song, I Don't Want To Hurt You and Marry Me sound ok

Bruce Lee, Pretty Woman, Sensational, What You Know, Time On Earth, I Don't Want To Hurt You and Sensitive sound promising.

Party Like A Russian and Heavy Entertainment Show both grew on me a lot after listening to them so my opinions may change.

Posted by: Better Man 14th October 2016, 08:46 PM

Realy like the snippets, especially on Itunes.
Here it is:
http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x4xgfmy_preview-rw_music

This record has a really good mood and this part of album reminds me SingWYW but regarding styles they are different albums, of course.
It shoud be very various record, well done Rob.

Mixed Signals is Robbie's AOR, remind me Journey
Hotel Crazy is a very interesting and unusual men duet.

Sensational has my favourite bit, I like the album's version sounds like live version.

Need to stop before the while album

Posted by: JJED2911 14th October 2016, 09:11 PM

Heres my thoughts so far
HES -good opener for album and maybe tour
Party like a russian -catchy but . . .
Mixed signals(you can tell its a Killers song)-good
Love my life -sounds like a hit
Motherf***er- brill sounds like early robbie
Bruce lee -i like it sounds a mix between muse and kasabian
Sensitive- least fave so far sounds abit like Lovelight
Davids song- nice song for his friend i like it
Pretty woman- catchy again
Hotel crazy- its ok sounds like it swings
Sensational- great way to finish the album and probably the concerts
BONUS
When you know-really like so far should be on album for me.
Time on earth-another good one sounds 80s could be on album
I dont want to hurt you- good
Best intentions-good
Marry me- really good
Really looking forward to this album its sounding awesome.

Favourites so far
Love my life
Motherf***er
Bruce lee (outsiders chance for a 3rd single?)
Davids song
Sensational
When you know
Time on earth

Posted by: Laura130262 14th October 2016, 11:42 PM

Marry Me jumped out on first listen. It's very beautiful.

Like BM said - Bruce Lee sounds very Scissor Sisters and I can hear Roxy Music Let's Stick together. I especially like Sensitive and David's song. Love My Life seems a good choice for the next single.

I like the sound of nearly all the tracks - looking forward to hearing them in full.

I think the album sounds fresh, not over produced like Take The Crown - I can hear Robbie's lyrics and Guy's deft touch. Quite an eclectic mix of songs, Robbie's voice sounds different on every track which I like.

I think it's going to do well.

Posted by: elisabeth1973 15th October 2016, 03:19 AM

I like the different sounds. It is not boring at all. Has someone an idea which the John Grant song is? Hotel carzy must be the Rufus Wainright cooperation

STRANGE BREW
AMBITIOUS BUT WONKY 11TH FROM THE SOMETIME TAKE THAT MAN

ROBBIE WILLIAMS
HEAVY ENTERTAINMENT SHOW

COLUMBIA/SONY MUSIC

Now best known as an occasional member of Gary Barlow’s Take That, Robbie Williams enjoyed a thriving career in the post-Britpop era, propelled by his massive hit Angels. He was, with his deliberate insider/outsider relationship to his pop fame, the Lily Allen of his day. Now, after albums of standards and tours with Take That, Williams releases his 11th studio solo album.

Heavy Entertainment Show sees him reunited with songwriter Guy Chambers and features contributions from John Grant, Brandon Flowers and others. Musically, it’s a step away from the fanboy eclectics of, say, Rock DJ (updated Ian Dury) and Rudebox (Pet Shop Boys), returning partly to the ‘90s on Love My Life and the ballad David’s Song, but also ranging from the odd, Shirley Bassey-sings-Divine Comedy opener of the title track and the PSB-ish Party Like A Russian to the Scissor Sisters-doing-Don’t Bring Me Down of Bruce Lee (ironically without the “Bruce!”). There’s a grunty Pretty Woman (not that one) and a duet on Hotel Crazy with Rufus Wainwright, which contains the wronged-up line, “I’m a Big Mac short of a Happy Meal.”

It’s a sometimes peculiar, uneven set, lacking a big set-piece and letting the knowing lyrics pull much of the weight. At its best, it’s funny and genuinely strange: at its worst it flops the damp weariness of Gary Barlow’s Take That over Williams’ archer past like a wet saddle. The desire to do something different is admirable, but the results are unfocused, like a collection of B-sides to singles that never existed. ***

David Quantick

Listen To: David’s Song, Live My Life


I'm liking the fact that its something different. The snippets led me to believe it was quite eclectic and it seems to be so.

Posted by: elisabeth1973 17th October 2016, 05:03 AM

everyone is up to his own with his/her opinion. And every judgement of a single song can be different. I doubt though that this will be the last album if the single is not successful. Then it may be the last album of Gaga or buble either. Established acts may have a chance still of single luck, but it is small.
The album it is. I also doubt that Robbie has not the enthusiasm anymore he once had. I agree though that these days songs are more of a work than of a feel like they had been in his earlier difficult years. This does not necessarily mean the songs are worse.

Although I don't think he was speaking literally on that Heart FM interview. To me it sounded more like a general comment.

I do think the tour will be big but if it's stadiums, then I'm guessing one per country or something, starting in May/ June in Europe and ending in December as per norm in Australia/NZ.

I'm also guessing he will do a gig or two in South America this time too. I hope so. They've waited ten years!!

Posted by: Laura130262 22nd October 2016, 11:43 PM

They need to get the video out for Love My Life.

I noticed PLAR is nearly up to 7m views on Youtube, so if they can get the new one out quick and he does do XF next week, then it will all help.

He was in Finland tonight apparently. Ten out of ten for his promo. They're working him hard. He's been to that many countries - it must all be a bit of a blur. If the album isn't a success, it won't be for lack of trying.

https://t.co/cZBXCyFC8W



This negativity in every interview. It's worse this time than normal isn't it? He needs to stop it. It seems to be messing up his head so much.

Deleted - I'm repeating myself

Posted by: Laura130262 3rd November 2016, 12:35 AM

On a positive - I heard Love My Life played on both Heart London and Magic today.

Posted by: elisabeth1973 3rd November 2016, 04:29 AM

Does he think that putting himself down get him attention? Mercy buyers? This is bad.
Doeshe feel like that? Than it is even worse. He was in Holland yesterday and he is so good and everyone loves him.
HES already got a golden disc before it is even available.
I think that the critics will not be kind with the album though.
It is too different based on what I heard than to the usual. But I hope people will buy it. GH is doing amazing :-) ???!!

He needs to slow down a bit & stop worrying about what other people are doing, all this hectic promo that he is doing is crazy , I know he has a tour to sell but he will have himself burned out even before he tarts & that is both mentally & physically.

He is not going to like that review , I think Robbie is trying to find what he had with Guy ( writing wise ) when they first started out but that's not always possible , they still write some really good songs but not sure those songs will appeal to this place & time, Radio stations etc have moved on, they are looking for what appeals to a younger audience when it comes to airplay & what attracts listenership. I like the what I have heard of the record , some of the songs will sound great in stadiums sung live . Robbie needs to stop comparing himself to Ed Sheeran etc who is relatively new in comparison to Robbie , he needs to keep doing his own thing & forget about the rest otherwise he will drive himself crazy & everyone around him

I absolutely adore what I have already listened.
This album has a very rich sounding, I hear a big mix of different instruments.

Maybe Bruce Lee is one of the best examples of this mix: saxophone, drums, trumpets, electro guitar, tubular bells, kettle drum, etc.

Great record.

Robbie Williams' new album The Heavy Entertainment Show review: Is it any good, then ?

http://www.digitalspy.com/music/album-reviews/review/a813129/robbie-williams-new-album-the-heavy-entertainment-show-review/

Posted by: Sydney11 4th November 2016, 07:25 PM

Robbie Williams is that "Heavy Entertainment Show," his new album? Critical!

D-Day for Robbie Williams! After months of discretion, the British rockstar is back in top form with "Heavy Entertainment Show," a new pop album in both traditional and bold. Our critique!



Photo credits: Official Facebook

Robbie Williams was waiting. Busy playing jazzy crooners from "Swing Both Ways" (2013), the British icon seemed to have forgotten that she was able to engulf the crowds with screaming guitars, a good dose of self-mockery and a charisma foolproof. Do not panic, the wisp is back and in fine form on "Heavy Entertainment Show" , a 11th album where he lets speak with arrogance and panache, his sense of excess. If the self-titled debut extracted , washed down intoxicating vocals, brass and a hint of Serge Gainsbourg , mixed pop and strong taste for the big bands of the 30s, "Party Like A Russian" brings back the showman in him . Robbie Williams has understood: for fun, you have fun! It therefore slips into the skin of a Russian oligarch in his controversial clip, which has drawn the ire of Moscow, the former leader of Take That are paying in passing the luxury sampler composer Sergei Prokofiev and his ballet "Romeo and Juliet" ... Unpredictable. A word that describes perfectly this new vintage. Watch the clip "Party Like A Russian" Robbie Williams:

image: http://www.chartsinfrance.net/style/commun/puces/6.gif




Engine ... Action!

Throughout these 11 tracks, 16 on the deluxe version, Robbie Williams proves more than his singing talents: we are faced with an actor at heart, able to slip into roles sometimes poles apart. Our favorite is of course one of the nonchalant rockstar, with a boundless energy that surrounded cabotine devastating guitars "Bruce Lee". On this electric piece, straight out of Texas , his voice plays in the hills and reminiscent of Matthew Bellamy on "Supermassive Black Hole". More in line with his eccentric character again, the fifth track is a profession of faith. " I'm a bad motherf***er ," he insists frankly, loop, and the memory horns imp he sported during his last tour proves it. The bad boy turns into seductive - in this register, Robbie Williams is also at ease - of "Pretty Woman", clear tube writing Ed Sheeran and Benny Blanco. " Why do not you shake what you've been Given from your momma? " He asks, ready to succumb to temptation in a scraped strings festival.




Rest assured: pop ballads, he is one of the proud bearers from "Angels" are waiting for you. Broken exercise, Robbie Williams excels when it adopts the tone of confession. "Love My Life" , on which he says mischievously, " I am beautiful, I am free, I am powerful ," is a beautiful testament for her two children. Before "Marry Me" tenderly devoted to his wife Ayda Field, Robbie takes the time to honor the memory of his former manager David Enthoven, who died of cancer during the summer, through a poignant title piano named "David's Song. " One of the most sincere moments of the disc, the fruit of his reunion with Guy Chambers, the producer of his greatest hits ( "Feel," "Supreme", "Angels" ...).

Amazing and daring attempts

But at 42, Robbie Williams does not just highlight the old recipes. And creative player, the singer offers intriguing risk taking including working with Stuart Price, creator of the excellent "confessions on a dance floor" (2005) Madonna . Besides "Bruce Lee", already mentioned, the two artists breathe a key electro-funk amazingly successful in "Sensitive", whose low bouncing sounds like a clarion call to wiggle. Psychedelic desire, the well-named "Crazy Hotel" is a curious jingle shared with Rufus Wainwright whose languor hypnotizes. As for "When You Know", one of the bonus tracks, it leads Robbie Williams in its Asian sounds. With both hands applauded this desire to renew!

When You Know

Posted by: Sydney11 4th November 2016, 11:11 PM

I really like these lyrics , lovely song


Play "Time On Earth"
"Time On Earth"


What's behind your eyes makes you a star

I want to take my time on earth and give it meaning
They say you get what you deserve, I know the feeling
[?] only get you so far
What's behind your eyes makes you a star

I'm gonna walk onto that stage like it's my destiny
Stand and tell the truth, make no apologies
If tomorrow I should die, these are my memories
I'm gonna take this simple life and make history

I dream a fantasy and then achieve it
Repeat the greatest lie till they believe it
You and me, not gods, define us now
You come here screaming, leave in silence

Oh, I'm gonna walk onto that stage like it's my destiny
Stand and tell the truth, make no apologies
If tomorrow I should die, these are my memories
I'm gonna take this simple life and make history

Let's fly higher than the mocking birds
They won't touch us way up here
In the sole asylum of the universe
A man can disappear
Raise a glass to the dysfunctional
It's never ever too late
I fell like miracles are happening
If I could just get out the way

I want to take my time on earth
And give it meaning
They say you get what you deserve
I know the feeling, feeling, feeling

You've gotta walk onto that stage like it's your destiny
Stand and tell the truth, make no apologies
If tomorrow you should die, these are your memories
You've gotta take this simple life and make history

So I'm really loving Hotel Crazy. "I present myself as a normal dude, look you in the eye when I talk to you"

I think it could have easily fitted onto SBW.

I love Marry Me - that might be my favourite. It's beautiful just like Bullet on UTR.

Also love David's Song, Mixed Signals, Sensitive

I think it's as good as UTR and better than TTC and RKTV for me.

It doesn't feel fragmented to me like the reviews said but maybe that's because Robbie's albums are always very mixed in styles. I think this could do really well for him.

Oh and I can hear Guy's expertise all over it.

Posted by: JJED2911 5th November 2016, 11:01 AM

Really liking this album especially
Mixed signals
Love my life
Motherf***er

Davids song
Hotel crazy (didnt think i would really like it as much as i do!)
And all the bonus tracks could easily be on the standard album because they are brilliant.

Have a mixed view of the album whilst I generally like it overall, its not as good as his classic first five albums, but better than Take The Crown which I think was a good album plagued with poor single choices.

Pretty woman is an absolute corker, how an earth this wasn't the lead single i'll never know as it could have had a chance at no.1. Also really like Hotel Crazy, especially the film quotes, "the only thing they should be checking out, is my ass" almost spat my tea out the first time I heard it.

Good interview in the Belfast Telegraph - http://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/entertainment/robbie-williamsmy-life-was-so-out-of-control-i-stopped-going-out-for-almost-two-years-35202310.html

Thought this was a good summary:

"It's very easy to work out Williams' enduring, massive success from spending a little time with him. He's beyond charming, hugely talented, strikingly handsome but slightly broken and a little dangerous, meaning people fancy him, want to be like him, idolise his music, or want to fix him, possibly all four at the same time. And there's little sign of that changing."

They've cancelled the two Polish gigs. RW said himself the promoters were overly optimistic with gigs in six Eastern European countries so ticket sales in Poland suffered. So, they've pulled it.

I admire his honesty. I'm not sure many artists would tell the truth in this situation. No bullshit from that man.

Posted by: elisabeth1973 20th December 2016, 06:15 AM

The cancelled both gigs? There is a lot of fear between fans that more gigs will be cancalled. The German ones have almost sold out, Austria, Italy Netherlands all sell well. But I guess he or the promotor thought that there ismore money between the peoplein Eastern Europe. I wonder how the Russian gigs are doing.
I wish him so much luck.
As you say Laura, whowould be so honest.

Posted by: Sydney11 20th December 2016, 06:32 AM

He is always honest , he always keeps his businessman hat on at all times , I guess that has been part of his success

I often wonder is that the reason he does not go to South America, it costs a lot of money to put on a tour & heas has to make monet out of it after everyone else has been paid otherwise what's the point

Posted by: elisabeth1973 22nd December 2016, 06:22 AM

It is difficult to tell as we do not really know how tickets sold. The usual countries he visited are selling well. The UK is not selling like in the past, but he is up against TT selling tickets before foralmost teh same time and the fan base is similar. Many can only afford one ticket. Plus, ticket prizes and thepopularity which is not that huge anymore as yearas ago with a new ticket and record buying public and his fan base definitely not in the age of stadiums anymore.
In the countries of Eastern Europe the ticket pricesmight indeed be too high. However, it still takes months until the gig and I reiterate this, even en vogue stars like Beyonce and Rihanna and old stars like Madonna have difficulties to sell tickets and play in front of empty stadiums.
The only sure bank there is Coldplay and U2

Is there not a singles discussion thread? Can't find any discussion about Mixed Signals, which I think is even better than Love My Life and one of the best singles he's released for years! Shame it's not going much chart-wise, does anyone know if there's much more promotion planned for it?

No , we do not have a thread for single discussions thread, we would usually discuss under the relevant album thread but I think the single kinda passed us by , I like the song but I think it went un-noticed at the Brits

The album did well enough overall which is hard when you are an older artist & have been around for ages !!

& some of them 20 yrs & more younger than him . He is brave to be doing stadiums this Summer, what I am noticing these days is that people have way more options when it comes to live music .I think that is why Robbie has slotted in a few festivals along the way , it's a different market We have live music in this city every weekend & they sell really well & are not too expensive . the cost of going to a show in a stadium in Dublin costs a fortune , crazy prices for hotels etc & not affordable for most folk

The TT album is selling really well.

While I was reading about their sales success today, I saw The Heavy Entertainment Show is still number 38 in the UK charts. That's not bad for nearly five months is it? I had no idea.

I had the pleasure of speaking to Betterman on RW.Com. He said it's in with a chance of beating Intensive Care as his longest charting album in the UK Top 100 (29 weeks). Obviously the sales are no where near IC levels but it's still some measure of longevity isn't it.

Posted by: Sydney11 28th March 2017, 04:29 AM

Laura where can you still chat on RW com? I am helpless there. It will be interesting to see how the TT album keeps selling in the UK at least and that it sells without hit single, just like in Rob's case.
Love my life is still regularly on the radio.

I am in various RW and TT (because of Rob) groups on FB. But almost any of them are very closed circles of 'leaders' with a certain opiion you better share. Plus, you can not have a discussion or a question answered like with you doing it BM. It would be great if Monica and Viking would join here :-).

I just copied this from the chart thread. These are the total album sales last week Tess.

There's no fun in those numbers is there? In the old days when groups sold hundreds of thousands every week. It kind of meant more. Now sales are all over before they've even begun.

I could see RW doing something like that. Live chat then perform a few songs on Facebook or Twitter or even on RW.com. Wouldn't that sell just as many as an appearance on Graham Norton for example?

I think TV promo nowadays could be totally wasted.

The South American leg of the tour seems to go down well. I am happy that his fans can see him again after such a long time.

The gig in Argentina has been cancelled due to the weather.

Those poor fans - they've waited twelve years.

Posted by: Sydney11 11th November 2018, 07:29 AM

That is just absolutely awful , I am sure fans would have travelled to BA for the gig , I take it they cannot reschedule

Posted by: Sydney11 11th November 2018, 07:35 PM

I can see from reading online that the Argentinian fans are really upset over the way the festivals organisers handled the situation & I think they were left in the dark about the whole thing until the last minute , it must be so disappointing for them but hopefully Robbie will go back there again as soon as he can, he kept his promise about giving the free gig in Dublin so I sure he is gutted about the event been cancelled but it looks like there was nothing they could do , at the end of the day people's safety comes first.

Just seen some photos posted in FB of BA at the weekend completely flooded out...not a hope that gig was going to happen...

Posted by: Laura130262 13th November 2018, 12:20 AM

Bless him -that was kind of him to do that. He must feel awful - to go all that way for nothing.

Posted by: Laura130262 16th November 2018, 12:52 AM

Kick off in a couple of hours time

Posted by: Sydney11 16th November 2018, 05:37 PM

Robbie looking mighty fit in his kilt

I really like this version of Rudebox

Posted by: Laura130262 17th November 2018, 12:16 AM

Looks like he was really enjoying last night. Good audience.

Last one tomorrow I think.

Can see he's having a ball here

Mexico is a good market place for him I think

Posted by: elisabeth1974 19th November 2018, 04:34 AM

i think all the countries he visited love him. Ashame that he had not invested there for 12 years

Oh my goodness - the new dates are in June. That's almost save upable for #tempted

Saw a little snippet on Upfront from RW that hinted they are trying to re-book the Argentina gigs.

Had this on in the car yesterday and I had a re-appreciation of it. The first five songs are real whoppers and then there's Hotel Crazy which I love, Best Intentions and When You Know - I love and then the beautiful Marry Me at the end.

I really did enjoy it.
