Gary has posted today saying they are doing a photoshoot and playback of the album today!

Good to see!

Absolutely. I also like what they did with Said it All, releasing 3 versions of the single with different perks on each. Very clever marketing!

This is difficult, but I went with Circus. Their promotion, the singles, album and the tour were all magnificent. I feel this is the album where they all started to feel at ease with each other and relaxed knowing they had a fan base out there still. Sales were incredible across the board too, and the live album and DVD were record breakers. BW was close, but for me, Circus edges it.

Delighted for them!

Good to see III adding to its sales in ROI!

I never understood why Higher than Higher wasn't a single or performed on tour. The flying bike was perfect for it

It's well deserved, although I expect he'll get another next year when TT reunite for 25 years.

It's very deserved, but I imagine TT will get one for their 25th

Robbie could miss top 75 then at this rate

It's not just Robbie, the streaming thing has hit all similar artists. The top 20 rarely changes much these days because of it. But Robbie doesn't help himself by releasing a very marmite song. I wonder if he'll do a medley of HES, PLAR and the next single on XF...

I like Robbie, but I'm surprised Guy Chambers let this through the net. He'd have been better going with the album track.

Do we know if PLAR will chart this week? The streaming thing always baffles me...

Youth these days! :lol:

Danger of OAOS is it might not chart in the top 40. People might not know when it's out and so you'll get the sales being split. Robbie's single is awful, Kath. Surprised you like it...

Yeah, Rudebox sold well too despite being universally panned...I would expect HES to do well initially seeing as it's been 5 years since his last original studio album, just surprised he would have chosen such as bizarre song to: 1 - make the album, and: 2 - be its lead single!

Haha , I couldn't believe it was the lead single to his new album. What was he thinking? Rudebox Mark II??

Elizabeth, wrong forum. TT made Robbie and gave him a second chance to rebuild himself. He loves the band, so I'd suggest you take yourself over to the Robbie forum if you have nothing productive to add to our discussions. Dylan, it leaked earlier. Have a listen and see what you think: https://dnj.to/2016/09/29/robbie-williams-p...like-a-russian/

Judging by Robbie's new single, he could well need TT to boost his career again...

Maybe that's why he has a second single lined up soon after? I hope this isn't going to be a Rudebox-esc experimentation...

I must say, I like HES...but Party Like a Russian is awful. Sounds like a rudebox reject. He'd be better using HES as the lead single... https://dnj.to/2016/09/29/robbie-williams-p...like-a-russian/

Robbie's new single has leaked. Party Like a Russian. It's as bad as it sounds: https://dnj.to/2016/09/29/robbie-williams-p...like-a-russian/

Yeah, I get you Milly, but with the new single they'll already be playing a song many won't have heard before. Would love to hear Carry Me Home...

Delighted that this is being revived, and in memory of Terry Wogan too. I imagine it'll be the new single plus either an opening song (GD) or closing song (NF)

Let's just hope the first single follows suit from their other post 2006 ones!
