Posted July 28, 200618 yr Robbie's 10th Anniversary as a Solo Artist is fast approaching. :o 'Freedom' first charted in the UK on the 10th of August 1996. The release date would therefore have been the 4th of August. So I guess we can say the 4th of August this year is Robbie's 'Birthday'. ( Scotty thinks it's the 29th of July but I'm not sure where he got this date and he's not here to ask <_< ). But it doesn't really matter whether it's the 29th or the 4th. I thought I better set up a thread where we can all congratulate the Main Man on reaching his 10th anniversary. So post away people. ( We all know Bob reads this Forum avidly ;) ) EDIT- IT'S THE 29th :yahoo: http://i7.tinypic.com/21azj1c.jpg Edited July 28, 200618 yr by jupiter9
July 28, 200618 yr According to a poster from the chart chat, it seems that Scotty is right, it really is the 29th of July (don't know how to quote this from a different thread, so I just copied it): the release date would be 12 days prior to the date it charted, not 6 days: a record released on, for example, Monday 1 would chart on Sunday 7 but would be in the chart which is dated Saturday 13 - polyhex uses the historical dating system of the week ending date. It means its release date would be Monday July 29, 1996 if it was to have charted on Sunday August 4, in the chart dated Saturday August 10, 1996. So it will be 10 years exactly tomorrow... EDIT: as it happens, the bpi site has the release date, in the Certifications database, and it is Monday July 29, 1996: Award Type: Silver Artist Name: WILLIAMS ROBBIE Record Type: Single Record Title: FREEDOM Record Company: EMI Record Label: CHRYSALIS Record Release Date: Mon Jul 29 1996 Date Award Issued: Thu Aug 1 1996 Debut: No some of the info above is wrong - it was his debut single, and the award was made during August 1996, and not on Aug 1 as listed.
July 28, 200618 yr Dear Robbie, I wanna thank you for all those beautiful songs and lyrics you have given us in the past 10 years :heart: Your songs have the power to make me cry and make me feel good....... A lot of them mean so much to me and no other artist has ever done that for me. So congratulations with your 10th anniversary and please, please keep writing and performing. I :heart: you
July 28, 200618 yr Author Yay. :cheer: It's tomorrow then. Oh Today. :cheer: Just in time with the thread then
July 28, 200618 yr Author Dear Bob, If by any chance you ever visit this Forum and can read this, I'd just like to wish you a Happy 10 year anniversary. :cheer: Bet you never thought 10 years ago you'd be where you are today. :lol: You are loved by so many people in this world. Never forget that. :heart: Please keep writing music and performing as the World would be such a dull place without you. Keep the faith and most importantly, be happy. Love You :heart: Jupiter x
July 28, 200618 yr Full credit to him, he's had some good songs in his time and after ten years he's still got a lot ahead of him. :D Here's to many more years for one of britain's most charismatic singers :cheer:
July 29, 200618 yr Absolutely...he's worked his arse off in these 10 years and he deserves every single accolade he receives! Congrats Rob!!!!
July 29, 200618 yr Congrats Robbie! Wow, 10 years! I was only 10, my God, although I didn't discovered him until I turned 11, lol. I remember "Lazy Days" was my fave song back in 1997! Well, it's like he's not going anywhere in a long time! His the biggest male star at the moment and I love his music! I admire him a lot!
July 29, 200618 yr Congratulations Robbie on your 10th anniversery on what is a hugely successful solo career. Thats a poke in the eye to all those who wrote you off all those years ago, and in some cases still do..take no notice, we don't. :cheer: You are Britains son, and we are proud of you. There will never be another Robbie, no one comes close to the talent you have from writing those emotional songs, sung from the heart, to those rip roaring live performances that encompass a wide range of musical styles flowing right down to that sparkling cheeky personality and character that makes you so loved. So please don't leave us..it would be a poorer showbiz world without you in it. Keep the oneliners coming. I love you too.. :heart:
July 29, 200618 yr :wave: :wave: :wave: Wonder if he is celebrating too :yahoo: First 10 years ... many more to go ... don't forget we are growing old with him :wub: :wub: :wub: :wub: :wub: :wub: :wave: :wave: :wave:
July 29, 200618 yr I wonder if the man himself is aware of his anniversary...? :huh: Dear Rob, thanks for giving us brilliant music and amazing live performances. Thanks for making me laugh and cry and, most of all, thanks for letting me grow up with you. At Knebworth, you said "Please don't ever leave me", well I can only say "Please don't ever leave us". 10 years of RW isn't nearly enough... I'm so proud of everything you have achieved. :heart: :heart: :heart:
July 29, 200618 yr Author Thought there might have been at least a few words in the UK papers today about this. Silly me. :rolleyes:
July 29, 200618 yr Congratulations Rob Everyone else has said more or less the same as I would like to say. Thank u for entertaining us over the years, keep the songs coming, however different they may be we love u for them, and will never tire of u :wub: Oh and thank u for making me feel like a love sick teenager again, Its great! I can't get u out of my head :heart: Edited July 29, 200618 yr by sparkle
July 29, 200618 yr Congratulations on 10 years as a solo artist. You've given so much pleasure to so many people and are deservedly the most successful male singer this country has, or will have, for some considerable time. No-one at this present time can come anywhere near to you. Good luck and long may the success last :wub: Even more important, be happy :D
July 29, 200618 yr Thought there might have been at least a few words in the UK papers today about this. Silly me. :rolleyes: <_< :puke2: The damn press won't give Rob any recognition for his anniversary and I guess Rob won't be reading this board (sorry if I am disillusioning you here jupiter LOL), but I think the televised concert in Leeds could be quite a public forum. Anyone going there fancy doing a banner ? Just mentioning the anniversary and a big thank you to our man, it needn't say anymore. Well, it's only an idea. Currently there are some rumours that the Vienna concert on August 19th (to which I am going) will be filmed for the live DVD but I doubt there's anything to it. One thing is for sure, that gig will be broadcast on the radio across half the globe. But that doesn't help much concening that banner :huh:
