Posted November 11, 201212 yr Rob has achieved a double #1 this week - 'Take The Crown' is his 10th #1 solo album (14th #1 including TT albums he was apart of), putting him ahead of Michael Jackson, Abba, Queen and Bruce Springsteen and tied with U2 in the position of 4th most #1 albums in UK history. Candy is #1 for the second week - the first double #1 he has had since SwingWYW/Something Stupid in 2001.

In a career strewn with awards, Robbie has quite simply sold more records than any other British solo artist in history. Having sold a staggering 60 million albums over his solo career, Robbie has also won more Brit awards than any other artist in history (a grand total of 17, to be precise). - HMV "After the Take That reunion – a busman's holiday, a break from my career which re-energised me in many, many ways – i wanted to come back with a massive solo album. My main priority was to write what I consider, and hopefully what the world would consider, to be hits. I'm very excited". Robbie Williams Track Listing 1. Be A Boy 2. Gospel 3. Candy 4. Different 5. Shit On The Radio 6. All That I Want 7. Hunting For You 8. Into The Silence 9. Hey Wow Yeah Yeah 10. Not Like The Others 11. Losers-Feat. Lissie Deluxe Edition 12. Reverse 13.

November 11, 201212 yr Author Hopefully we will get sales soon. They will no doubt be a disappointment compared to his previous opening weeks but him getting the double #1 will help make up for it :D If you add the #1's he had as part of TT - he now has 14 #1 albums and 14 #1 singles. :lol:

November 11, 201212 yr Author 160.000! i think robbie has sold that this first week, and 90.000 next I can't see him selling 160K. He only sold 50K on Monday and Tuesday according to MW - looking at the other fast sellers of the year - by the Wednesday update: Emily Sande sold 66K (ended up selling 113k), Lana Del Rey shifted 70K (ended 116k), and Muse recently did 70K and ended on 108K - so it will be difficult to sell more considering he sold 50K. You never know though - but I am preparing to be disappointed by the sales but I reckon it will sell very well in the run up to Xmas and especially once his O2 show is broadcast. There has been zero promo on TV for the album this week which I don't get at all. And the promo from last week on the XF and GN was for Candy - no other tracks from the album have been performed, including the second single 'Different'. He needs to be showcasing the album so I don't see why he wasn't on the likes of Daybreak and This Morning like he was for RKTVS performing other tracks. Universal have done a good job so far so maybe it's part of a long term plan. :wacko:
November 11, 201212 yr Why are album sales so low these days? Is everyone illegally downloading? :unsure:
November 11, 201212 yr Author Why are album sales so low these days? Is everyone illegally downloading? :unsure: Most likely but also people and cherry picking tracks to download and not buying the whole album which is having a big effect. But really album sales are really bad these days - I had hoped he would've sold 150K + though but we will have to wait till tomorrow morning to find out. He better have sold over 100K anyway or I will be severely displeased. :smoke:
November 11, 201212 yr Really happy for him too =) Sales...well, yes, they are going to be not more than 100k. But after double getting he will get good reviews insure. Anyway I think overall sales in UK will be bigger than LS2003, Rudebox and IAOOC at least. And with tour and lucky next singles he has an opportunity to get 1m in 1 year. Long chart run but why not? Anyway, congrats guys!! :w00t: He's back Edited November 11, 201212 yr by Better Man

November 11, 201212 yr Author All we need now is the tour announced :D I wouldn't be surprised if it happens this week while he reigns supreme over both charts but it may also be the week before the O2 gigs with tickets on sale the Monday following the TV broadcast.
November 11, 201212 yr My forecast is Nov-19. Because... Tickets for Tour 2003 went on sale at 18-Nov, 2002 Tickets for Tour 2006 went on sale at 19-Nov, 2005 :) Edited November 11, 201212 yr by Better Man
November 12, 201212 yr I can't cope with the stress of trying to get tickets. :drama: At least you can be stressed about that. :lol: I can only hope he knows where Serbia is. :rolleyes:
November 12, 201212 yr He was in The Netherlands last week and promised he definitely visit us again whilst touring. No surprise there but still..............it's good to hear him saying it :lol:
