I love Fairytales :wub: , it does have that Poguesy feel to it, it's one of my favourite songs on the album. Love the interaction between Robbie & Guy in the video , gives you an insight into how they work together & to see Robbie in his serious working mode ,,,

 

Funny where he takes inspiration for his lyrics from ...

I love this song too.

 

"Next year I wish you more laughter " There's nothing more to say than that is there?

 

Number one in Oz too. That's bloody amazing!

Am really surprised that this is now No.11 on Amazon. December and out of their top 10 sales? Rod at No.1.

 

Let's hope the supermarkets are well-stocked.

No.25 in the year-to-date album chart. Should be top 20 next week folks.

 

 

25 - 77 - 120,000 - Robbie Williams - The Christmas Present

 

Holding his own on iTunes

 

 

To be honest I've never understood how it has got such high sales because every time I look on Amazon he's only ever five or six and Rod Stewart or Coldplay are number one.

 

I mean - I'm really happy he is - he seems to be doing well on HMV with both the deluxe and the standard CD.

 

Maybe he's selling most on RW.Com?

 

I'm just going to enjoy that he got his number one. B-)

Aldi, the stores

Yeah the big supermarkets will sell loads up to Christmas. People see it and pop it in with their shopping.

Laura, folks, I just checked Amazon situation and #10 now.

It's not a drop. It's up.

 

I noticed that already yesterday Deluxe version was 'deleted' for some hours. It's done again.

In fact, at the moment there is a deal to promote a Standard edition which is 4 pounds cheaper.

Before this action Standard version was in Top-20.

Now is already #10.

So it's one more smart step by Sony.

I like this lady. She looks great fun and obviously adores him. :lol:

She is very special and one of the most famous presenters with her own magazine in Germany, never PC so clearly she adores him. They know each other a long time, he once kissed her pregnant belly when he promoted Candy.

As I had a surgery I could watch a bit more TV than usual and the lady presenters on the main TV programs in Germany could not tell enough how much they adore Rob. The other lady in the round in the talk show is a famous news magazine presenter and she was also star struck

Sorry to hear about the surgery Elisabeth - hoping you're OK?

 

I think in Europe (and Australia) they definitely "get " him there. Maybe UK has just lost it's sense of humour. Or maybe he's just more relaxed there?

 

So - still number two on iTunes. 17 & 18 on Amazon :blink: Quite a disparity. ;) It will be interesting to see how the charts read tomorrow.

 

I don't know what new albums were out last week but I don't see any newbies in the chart. Rod Stewart still near the top. Go the old rockers eh? :cheer:

 

I think Harry Styles is next week which I'm sure will make a difference.

The half dozen songs he performed on TV tonight from TCP sounded great.

 

Angels sounded great.

 

The performance of Something Stupid I'm trying to forget about. :o

 

From Poland last night.

 

Nice to hear Road to Mandalay. :wub:

The performance of Something Stupid I'm trying to forget about. :o

 

 

I love that song, both the original and Robbie & Nicole's version.

So down to No.2 in today's first album mids flashes. The Who are at No.1 and 5k ahead of Robbie but he's now outselling them on a daily basis so should overtake them. The Who's first album of new material in 15 years would have been fairly front-loaded. Rod's only just behind him but Robbie's on tomorrow's Royal Variety too and last night's Christmas special was repeated by ITV tonight.

Next week the Christmas No.1 album is announced on Friday 20th and it's all to play for. Robbie will have huge competition from Stormzy and Harry Styles. Rod's also on tour. Can Robbie hold thm all off if he does it this week?

Album number two to The Who at the moment. Rod Stewart very close behind.

 

Think it will be close this week.

I was going to ask - I saw this in the chart thread - where is he outselling them? I can see he's still number two on iTunes but seven on Amazon. How do you know he's outselling them?

 

Great news if he is ^_^ - I'm just curious how this all works now.

I love that song, both the original and Robbie & Nicole's version.

 

Me too. B-)

Robbie three on the charts today - 500 behind Rod and Who still at number one.

 

He's still at two on iTunes and 8 on amazon so think it will be tight.

 

to me - it feels like the momentum is with Rod Stewart.

 

Enjoyed his performance at Royal Variety tonight much more than the Christmas show on Sunday. B-)
