Does somebody know if Rob has said that there will be a re-edition?

It is more a question if you want to see him/TT be successful. The majority of hard core fans do not like the changes and for the general public TT or even Gary are interesting live. If they buy an album is another question.

For me, Gary has a voice for huge tunes and ballads. I don't think he fits swing. The song as such is great....with Michael Buble singing it

They try to re-invent themselves. They know that the fans will always go to live performances as TT as well as Robbie have a certain reputation. However the non-fan perception to buy music has dramatically decreased. If I only compare the Progress times with every single TT or Gary release since then in non-UK or Ireland countries it is a shame. They are rich enough though that they can experiment ...and hope that they hit the taste of the general buying public again. The same for all established artists.

ITV shows are often only 60 minutes, at least what they show on telly. I am very curious how the sales figures for this Gary album will be. I still cannot understand that he indicates a tour with countries going on lockdown again to boost sales or simply in good faith. Most artist are very cautious. Short term it may pay off though

wise words, Alex

if we will ever hear this, how often have I heard how man songs he had written and then they hardly appeared. In the moment I have more the impression that he has a year long holiday and concentration on the family which will be great for all of them

is there any indication of pre sales?

So Rob has given up on 2020 I think. He will concentrate on 2021 (I hope) with two albums and everything to go with. He might be right to do so as people will be so hungry for new stuff. Being in home office since March I follow some of the early breakfast shows in NL and Germany (My normal commuting time). They have more or less famous guests every day and everyone points out that even with an album out they do not dare to think about touring etc. 2020 is lost. It will be interesting to see what will happen in 2021 for the music scene. Maybe there will be a vaccine in 2021 or so many people are infected that there is a herd immunity. I am wondering if he will do a repackaging of the Christmas album. I guess he will.

in the moment I cannot make a difference between business and pleasure from the postings (if I would have ever been able to). Like Gary in the above post I read a lot of what he wants to do in 2021. Two album, documentary, tv-shows. I wonder what will materialize at the end. It will be strong related to how Covid situation will continue I assume.

I see that the album is top10 and even no 1 on apple and iTunes streaming the last days. Well done

maybe it will chart?

better times in our daily life's. concerts, less restrictions. Somehow life stands a bit still. After 9 months in home office I hear from colleagues that they miss the office, the laughter, the social feeling and even fee lonely. Huge challenges. Musicwise the time when Rob came back from exile with Bodies until the end of Progress tour was for me the best part of the last 13 years in Rob fandom

great Alex, enjoy reading it

The pictures taken from inside are not reminding of any house in the UK or LA. The outside surrounding could be anywhere in Europe.

I saw a snippet of the video yesterday, somehow MTV.IT popped up on my timeline. Gary in his pink blazer, Buble looking very strange in his face in the blue one from the promotion pic and the other guy I don't know looking good with spare clothed dancing ladies in the cut between. Might be MTv-able, but neither the song nor the video is my cup of tea. Good on Gary trying something upbeat. I prefer the classic style.

Oh my, so understand their love for dogs

I love the song. Sad, that songs like this do not chart

I can imagine that they are in Switzerland as he had been there during the summer. There are cars in the background of one of the little videos but I cannot see the plates good enough

They are a very interesting group. Like what I heard until now.

Did they chart somewhere?

I still cannot understand that he offers tour packages. Everyone knows that it is very unlikely that there will be events in arena's in any capacity already next year. Most bands have cancelled their tours.

really Alex, oh my, maybe that was what made me feel so well about it :-)

I so agree with what you wrote feel_the_fever. Fully. These featuring started some years ago, but now it is like feature of a feature. I would have liked a Gary song by himself and I assume the next single will be one by himself. I am tired of the charts with the one hit wonders (generalized). The last song scoring there I really liked was Blinding Lights. I need a melody to hum to

people saw on the app that it was European time
