Nope, started it last week actually, but your question from last night made me finish it off. Quite easy actually :smoke:

 

Oh and another thing, since the IFPI STILL have'nt published a list of best selling albums of 2006 in Europe, I have worked it out, and Rudebox would be #3 :smoke:

Didn't she release a range of knickers? :unsure:

Yes she did actually, a clothing line. :smoke:

Question? :unsure:

 

 

Why does the IFPI website still show Rudebox as being 2x Platinum?

EMI have'nt payed them to update it. <_<

 

It happens with loads of artists. Escapology for example sold well over 6m in Europe alone, but it STILL only 5x platinum :rolleyes:

Why don't he just leave them, his contract runs out soon. As soon as he leaves he could join any company he wants, everyone would except him. :lol:

He will leave after his contract is over. Here is a snippet from an interview from last year. Translated from German so not exactly what he said. ^_^

 

"The machinery of the music industry makes me sick, and I pray for escaping from it as soon as possible" says the 32 year old to Spiegelâ magazine according to a pre-announcement on Saturday. Robbie Williams has in 2002 signed the highest record contract in UK history, granting him approximately 12 Million per album.

After the expiry of the contract he would like to sell music independently from a record company says Williams.

Yes, but he'll set up his own record company I think. :smoke:

Goooood. :smoke:

Indeed it is good. Although without a big record company behind him, not a huge amount of money will go into promotion, although then again, EMI have never been very good for promotion :lol:

Music: Robbie Williams - Rudebox

The Malta Independent

by Michael Bugeja

All of his albums up to now have been nothing short of incredible and there’s no doubt that he is one of the most accomplished pop stars to emerge from Britain in recent years.

 

He’s also known to be something of an unpredictable character, and perhaps this is why his most recent offering isn’t quite the triumph a lot of people (myself included) were expecting.

 

Distancing himself from the familiarity of Intensive Care’s conventional melodic charm, Robbie has involved several producers and guests this time round, giving this album an acute sense of eclecticism that works against the record’s overall appeal.

 

Of course, he has every right to branch out and experiment, but that’s what side projects are usually for. Instead, the platter he has handed us is a mess of sweet and sour all at the same time.

 

The album’s sweeter, more pleasant moments arrive with the undeniably slick She’s Madonna, Lovelight, The Actor and the deadpan covers of Human League’s Louise and Stephen Duffy’s Kiss Me.

 

Much of the rest is pretty average (at times, uninspired) stuff, and sadly, a few instances, such as the title track, Never Touch The Switch, We’re The Pet Shop Boys and the totally dismal cover of Manu Chao’s classic Bongo Bong are downright disappointing! If Robbie wanted to do something different, this is it – whether it works is a totally different argument!
