Looks like he will get the No1 album this week- all being well 🤞🏾

I am a “40 odd year old mum” and would buy from HMV!! Probably a vinyl though as I don’t have anywhere to play a CD these days 😆

Yeah I agree, he would get number 1 most weeks so it is a bit odd to move it. Maybe all the Harry Styles hype has worried him?! Or maybe it is just a case of let’s get the album out? It’s very good imo so I hope it does well

My physicals bundle is being shipped today- just had an email… so maybe he is doing both after all?

Out of interest, What is the value in releasing streaming separately to the physicals? Surely you do all at once for maximum impact?? Or have I missed something?

So it has just been announced that Robbie has decided to release the new album today (it was previously meant to be Feb, having previously been Oct last year!?!) Do we think he can claim his 16th UK No1 album and get that record he so wants? I massively hope so, the album is really good (but I’m biased as a massive Robbie fan). I hope he is on the promo trail- I know he’s done R2 but will need some TV etc too maybe?

New Bruno is excellent, very catchy, I feel it will gain in popularity over the next few weeks,… a future number 1?

Sorry for my ignorance but wondering why is Lush Life back in the charts? I assume it a TikTok or other viral thing but is there a particular reason for the resurgence? Thanks in advance

Really pleased about Robbie. Film is amazing and the soundtrack is also very good. Kind of a reimagining of his songs and he does sing on pretty much all of them, it’s very good. All for him getting another No1. If Bruno and Rose get No1 single as well that would be the icing on the cake!

Seems a misstep to not issue a vinyl? Record company seem to have got this wrong? And surely better to release all at once and while the film is being promoted etc. hopefully will chart well if it gets a push with the physicals and prizes and so on

Am I missing something re Robbie Williams Better Man album? Not in top 40, I was assuming would be another No1 for him? Is it not allowed as it’s a soundtrack? (Film is excellent btw imo)

I am really happy for Chase and Status and Stormzy. Such a great song, and was incredible seeing it live at the MK Bowl on Saturday. Really hope it clings on for number 1, much deserved I would say, and another UK hit to top the charts which is good to see 😀

I think there would be a huge appetite for an old school Xmas day TOTP… the reason rating went down (in my opinion) is because they kept moving it earlier and earlier in the schedule. If it was on later in the afternoon people would watch and enjoy it. There is so much great music and I am sure many artists would love the prime time exposure. I just think the BBC gets it wrong…. The review show last year was terrible, and very boring. And basically was obsessed with Glastonbury. I’m all here for a proper TOTP - sadly I doubt that will ever happen again

Radio 1 is extremely sexist and ageist. They seem to deem Elton John and other older men as ok to play, yet Kylie won’t get a look in despite it being a huge hit. as a public sector broadcaster this shouldn’t be tolerated. Women over 40 are not irrelevant!! I’m so pleased for both Kylie and madonna, proving radio 1 wrong!

Am I missing something… why is Jimin no where on streaming yet has the whole top 5 on iTunes? I assumed his fan base would be more of the streaming type??
