Excellent! Well done Nada. :cheer:

 

Let us know when it arrives :D

Glad you got it Nada :D I just watched a bit of the Berlin concert this evening. He was brilliant that night - the opening with 'Ghosts' 'Feel' and than my fave 'A Place To Crash' is just perfection. It is so great to have that gig in full (No Regrets was not shown on TV) and in perfect quality :D

 

Btw I forgot to mention. EMI France tweeted to say there would be 2 DVD's being released in November and a 17 DISC boxset released in December. Firstly what on earth could the 2 DVD's be (isnt the video DVDs already available on their own?) - one can only hope it is 'And Through It All' continued - or better yet Slane in HD, or any of the endless gigs that have been filmed but never released on DVD. The Forum, Slane, Manchester, Cologne, Abbey Road, Rio, The River Plate gig in Argentina, Mexico, Leeds etc the list goes on.

 

The 17 Disc one is CDs - so a boxset with all 8 studio albums with an extra disc with the B-sides for each - along with unreleased songs? I know - very unrealistic but perhaps EMI are doing a stock clearance and want to flog as much Rob stuff as possible as soon as possible. It would cost a fortune though :lol:

Finally I have all singles in one place. My faves are: Sin Sin Sin, She's Madonna, Lovelight, Advertising Space, Sexed Up, Come Undone, Feel, Supreme, Rock DJ, You Know Me... Really fantastic singles discography.

I've just had word from someone on I know who gets the info early and....

 

ROBBIE HAS JUST SCORED HIS 9TH #1 ALBUM IN THE UK :hic: :party: :party2: :jump: :smoke: :drink: :spin: :wave:

 

He sold a very impressive 121,689 copies of IAOOC - the second fastest selling album of 2010 - and now Rob has the most #1 albums by any British solo artist in history. :thumbup:

 

Perfect way to end off this part of his career B)

^^ Wahey, that's fantastic! Such massive sales, too! And with Shame still being on the charts for a few weeks, followed by the buzz surrounding Take That's reunion, and the Christmas sales boosts, followed by an eventual Take That tour next year, it should keep selling consistently for absolutely ages! This won't sell like the first Greatest Hits did, but I don't think 1 million is out of the question (although it's probably about the maximum)!

OMG 121,689 is a huge number for a second greatest hits collection. the package deserves these sales, because it offers so much. it's worth the money.

 

i hope it goes triple platinum! :jump: :wave: :bounce: :party2: :winner: :banana: :music: :yahoo: :thumbup: :cheer: :w00t:

Robbie Williams scores his ninth solo number one album

Music Week

10:00 | Monday October 18, 2010

 

By Alan Jones

 

With Robbie Williams’ second hits compilation blasting its way to the top, leadership of the album chart changes hands for the 11th week in a row, but Cee-Lo Green’s Forget You remains atop the singles chart, where it is only the second title out of the last 14 number ones to extend its reign beyond a week.

 

Already the biggest selling albums artist of the 21st century – with sales of 13,339,555 up to last week, 24.19% more than runners-up Westlife’s 10,741,065 – Robbie Williams moves even further ahead, after landing his ninth number one solo album with In And Out Of Consciousness: Greatest Hits 1990-2010 making an emphatic debut at the top, on first week sales of 121,688 copies.

 

Williams’ first number one since Rudebox (2006), it outsold its nearest challenger by a margin in excess of three to one. The only male soloist to have more number ones than Williams is Elvis Presley (10).

 

Securing the second highest weekly sale for an artist album thus far in 2010 - falling short of the mark of 139,438 set by Eminem’s Recovery 16 weeks ago - In And Out Of Consciousness has made a modest start compared to Williams’ previous compilation, Greatest Hits, and also many of his regular album releases.

 

Williams’ previous albums, in reverse chronological order, with first week sales and years shown in brackets, are as follows: Reality Killed The Video Star (238,126, 2009), Rudebox (147,236, 2006), Intensive Care (373,832, 2005), Greatest Hits (320,081, 2004), Live At Knebworth (117,863, 2003), Escapology (264,104, 2002), Swing When You’re Winning (295,024, 2001), Sing When You’re Winning (313,585, 2000), I’ve Been Expecting You (131,836, 1998), Life Thru A Lens (14,533, 1997). Williams has sold 17,285,422 albums since launching his solo career in 1997.

Looks as though Rob has just reached #1 in Germany now too. :thumbup: :dance: :yahoo:

 

That is also his 9th (consecutive in this case) #1 album in Germany too, just like the UK. And just like the UK - he is the best selling artist of the millennium thus far. ^_^

 

Some translations:

The EMI Music singer Robbie Williams is the most successful artists in the German album charts for the past ten years. 28 weeks spent the Briton, according to Media Control in 2000 at the head of the long-play rankings. 135 times he made the jump into the Top Ten. "A unique record in the decade to a close," says Media Control.

 

The most successful was the Take That member here in the "Sing When You're Winning". The album from 2001 was located 105 weeks in the German charts. In second place follows "Greatest Hits" with 102 weeks in the charts. "Swing When You're wining" 81 weeks listed in the rankings, followed by "Escapology" at 68 weeks.

 

Even with his current best-of album Willimas prices remain at the top of the Music Week Top 100 Long Play: "In & Out Of Consciousness: Greatest Hits 1990-2010" is, according to Media Control Trend Charts currently in the "clear ahead of the competition" . In the UK charts has Williams on 17 already put October on the pole.

did knebworth really debut at #1 in Germany? if it has it's not only the 9th consecutive #1 album but also the 9th consecutive #1 debut.

 

either way it's unbelievable how much he's sold in the UK!

I was glad to see him reach No 1 again. He's now sold 17,285,422 albums in the UK as a solo artist? Wow! :w00t:

I'm pleased too, quite a good sales number too over 100k. Looks like he could be in for another huge sale this week

with the album at No.2 in the midweeks behind Kings Of Leon's new album which sold 75k copies on its first day.

#1 in Europe now too - let's hope he makes it to the top on the World Chart as well. :yahoo:

Billboard.biz

 

Robbie Williams makes a No. 1 start across Europe with "In and Out of Consciousness - Greatest Hits 1990-2010" (Virgin/EMI). It debuts atop Billboard's European Albums chart as Eminem's "Love The Way You Lie" (Interscope/Universal), featuring Rihanna, starts a third week at the European Hot 100 Singles summit.

 

Williams' retrospective is his ninth solo No. 1 album in the United Kingdom, where opening sales of 121,000 compare with 238,000 for last year's "Reality Killed The Video Star" and 147,000 for "Rudebox" in 2006. The new best-of is also in at No. 1 in Germany and Austria, No. 2 in Ireland, No. 3 in Spain and Holland, and No. 4 in Portugal, Denmark and Switzerland.

#1 In and Out of Consciousness - 221,000 copies sold

 

yet again: Mediatraffic does not have any access nor information about actual over the counter sales besides The US, Japan (not regularly), UK and Australia (not regularly). All the other countrie's sales are estimations.

Thanks Stevyy :D

 

Another global #1 album :thumbup: :dance: :yahoo:

 

As always with mediatraffic - sales are to be ignored on a general basis as the vast majority of them are guesses based on what they think would be average sales for a #1. The main thing is he is #1 - s IAOOC topped the charts in his two biggest markets - the UK and Germany - overall #1 in Europe and now the biggest selling album in the world this week. An AMAZING result or any album, but for a second GH is is remarkable. :dance:

Thanks to TRWS

 

It is also #1 in the French Compilation Charts :D

 

And has climbed to #3 in Australia too :smoke: :D

UK:

2 Robbie Williams 42654 (164,343)

 

week 1 - #1 - 121,689

week 2 - #2 - 42,654 (164,343)

 

Certification: 1x platinum (=300,000)

 

that's a huge decline in week 2...

 

I really want this to sell at least 600,000 on music week...
