    Thanks TT. His physical chart position is still pretty buoyant - #75 this week.

    Thanks TT. It's not doing too badly, taking into account your comments above.
  3. He's never really been into technology has he Gill. I recall him saying that it took ages for his friends to finally convince him to give us his 'ordinary' moby. I think he just finds it all so intrusive. I dare say he doesn't want to appear grumpy so goes along with it. I have noticed though that sometimes his 'smile' is a wee bit false. People asking for the odd photo was probably ok but everyone seems to be doing 'selfies' for practically everything these days. The price of fame unfortunately.

    Thanks TT - just been reading that now. So much involved for just three and a bit minutes.
  5. Ahhhh ... :wub: RnB heaven - thank you Mr Young.

    Ha ha - I saw this in the paper yesterday. :lol:
  7. It was the same at Oxford. We went on Tuesday. Great great atmosphere. He lifted his hands in the air and EVERYONE in the stalls stood :wub: It was our first time in the stalls at Oxford but we weren't really that far away in Row S. Spoiled a wee bit by a girl directly behind us whooping constantly and very loudly, occasionally at inappropriate times, nearly blowing our eardrums. :angry: I'd forgotten quite how 'rocky' his older songs were. SIO, Grace and Your Game were fantastic and it was lovely to hear his back catalogue. Runaway .... love love that song :wub: . His new stuff went down a treat and we had two extra songs I just Want a Lover and Evergreen - aw :wub: I think we had these because he didn't chat a lot but just cracked on. He did regale us with the knowledge that his brother was in the wings in his bunny suit and that he threatened to piss into the wind machine :lol: And he says he's no musician - but he seemed quite adept on those keyboards - :P I suspect he doesn't do this often because he loves to interact with his audience and he can't do this standing behind a keyboard. Big ups to his band too :cheer: P.S. don't envy the cleaner having to clear up after him :lol:

    Nothing in Sainsburys. They probably had a couple of copies when it first charted but I ordered it online so I never bothered to check.

    Thanks TT. Must be the run up to Christmas and his tour :D
  10. Thanks TT - I've set my Sky box for this. Should be entertaining :P

    This was the comment he got a lot on PI. This is why I adore his covers - he always re-arranges the original whilst still, as he would put it, paying it the respect it deserves. Thanks Sunday.
  12. Thanks TT - just listening back now. :D

    Thanks Sunday - great improvement :D

    I was just coming to post that TT. He is pretty much plateauing around the 70s for sales and physicals: Physicals: 76 74 Sales: 84 84 Streaming has totally ballsed the charts. One time the charts were about who was selling the most - now it's pretty much about who is popular. How can listening to a track without paying for it constitute a sale. Crazy.

    Thanks girls - something that's really close to his heart :wub:

    Here's another ...
  17. Thanks girls - never disappoints does he :wub:
  18. Thanks Sunday. I've been trying hard not to read spoilers but it's proving nigh-on impossible. Are those tip and strip pens from his old tour - talk about recycling :P

    Woo hoo :D

    Thank you :D

    Can you update the album stats to reflect the re-entry TT. Ta muchly. sajjadali - I agree with suggy - album sales are horrendously low. Considering he's been away for four years, comparing his sales with the new entries, he's doing great ;)
  22. My thanks too TT. Will is a master at hiding his true feelings so we just have to take his word for it that he's in a good place now.

    Thanks TT. :D
  24. I agree too. Although Dare and Like a River come top of my list of favourites, which I reckon are contenders for single release too. Thought it was madness to only do a video for Like a River - but hey ho. Dare is on the de-luxe album though, more's the pity, and wouldn't have been bought by everyone.

    Had a feeling it would rise. It'll be great to see him back in the Top 40. Thanks Joe - much obliged :D
