Updated :smoke:

 

Let's hope the new album takes him to at least 57m by the end of the year and 60m by this time next year when other sales are added in, as the GH is still selling very well :D

He seems to have been stuck at 55 million for about the last 5 years. Hasn't he sold a single CD in all that time? :lol:

You are mistaken Jups :smoke: He was on 38m before IC was released 4 years ago, so 17m + in the past 4 years. The GH sells very well :drink:

 

 

Well I think somebody just makes up those figures. -_-

Here is Rob's final figures as the best selling artist of the past decade :D

 

 

Published in the latest Music Week from the chart forum:

 

Best-selling artists of The Noughties Albums - UK

01 ROBBIE WILLIAMS 13,065,783

 

Best-selling artists of the Noughties Singles - UK

12 ROBBIE WILLIAMS

 

 

"Reality Killed the Video Star" went No. 6 in Mexico, not No. 1 - it has so far been certified Gold (40,000) and "Intensive Care" sold over 175,000 physicals but over 1 million in digital formats, it was pre-loaded to a Sony Ericsson mobile phone and it was certified 3xGold in Physicals and 2xDiamond in Digital so that'd be like 1.2 million in total

OMG, 1m digital sales in Mexico or globally? If it is Mexico alone that is amazing. Do you happen to have a source? Do you think those sales are included in IC global total, afterall it would be great if IC sold nearly 9 million :lol:

 

Thanks for the info, I thought it reached #1 - various peole said it had. Hopefully he will go over there and to South America to promote it as without promotion most people prob wouldnt even know he had an album out :lol:

it's 1.2 million in Mexico alone, but i think they only counted the 200,000 physicals, not the 2xDiamond of digital

 

it isn't digital sales as such, it's the album pre-loaded to a mobile phone on *.mp3 format along with some music videos and stuff, EMI and Robbie still got royalties from every sale so they are legitimate sales that's why EMI certified the album 2xDiamond as digital and Platinum & Gold as physical

 

so yeah, that's pretty much 1.2 million in Mexico alone :cheer:

 

you can check the AMPROFON site, i would post the direct link but it doesn't let me post links until i post 5 times! LOL

So this is the most up to date list of Robbie's UK sales I can collate:

 

Life Thru A Lens 2,085,136*

I've Been Expecting You 2,568,075*

Sing When You're Winning 2,192,562*

Swing When You're Winning 2,266,752*

Escapology 2,054,982*

Live At Knebworth 621,759*

Greatest Hits 2,239,764*

Intensive Care 1,614,036*

Rudebox 511,736*

Reality KTVS 1,000,000** (+/-20,000)

In and Out of Consciousness 624,800**

 

*sales from Feb 10

**sales from July 11

 

To get a total I have therefore added these figures plus an additional conservative estimate of 50,000 sales of back catalogue since Feb 10

 

This gives total UK sales of 17,829,602

I would say this is probably correct to within 100k?

 

The Reality Killed the Video Star total is far too generous, it will be much closer to 900k and definitely not over 1m :P

Robbie sold 753000 of RKTVS in 2009, and 265990 of his album sales in 2010 WEREN'T from IAOOC.

 

 

If you assume all those sales were for RKTVS, it would bring it's total to 1018990.

 

 

Obviously a small few of the sales will actually have been for other back catalogue albums, but even so, it would suggest RKTVS is now sitting right on 1 million sales

I haven't heard Candy once on the radio :huh:

 

 

Bad choice for a single, but will they listen to anyone ... NO :huh: Have you forgotten the last two singles ...Shame & YKM. bother dire as well

 

 

I fell like thumping em :angry:

 

 

Let's hope the album does better

Both of the above got tons of airplay though. Maybe they want radio play more than worthy, good songs... :unsure:

It hasn't been A, B or C listed on Radio 1 or 2 on the week of release which is not good but obviously getting lots of plays elsewhere to get to #11. Bodies was A Listed straight away on Radio 1. 3 years on is Rob now 'too old' for R1?

 

I had hoped now he has left EMI and gone to Universal - we wouldn't have to tolerate incompatence with regard to releases - but I fail to see how it makes any sense to release a song to radio SEVEN weeks before it's released. It is an insanely stupid idea. It should've been released on radio 2 weeks before the release date - followed by loads of promo and there would be a strong chance of his 7th #1. Strike while the iron is hot etc.. I remember complaining about Bodies being premiered a month before it's release being too early - this is 3 weeks longer.

Maroon 5's Move Like Jagger hits the airwaves so fast you would not believe it , Robbie is living in another planet when it comes to promoting himself, he gets it spot on is his live performances because that is what he is good at , by what he says it would seem that he leaves the decisions on singles etc to his management & the music label & tbh I am beginning to wonder if his management are living in the past & are still thinking of the Rock DJ days, give Robbie the right material & he can do it . It's all a bit sad in my opinion & now I am worried about the album
