"George is huge. I don't understand why anyone wouldn't think he wouldn't sell loads and loads? He has done loads of promo on radio, TV adverts etc and the album been on pre-order for 2 months...women and men love him of all ages.... "
EMI have been promoting symphonica but not george himself. Heck he didn't even go to his own album launch a few weeks back.
Also, worth noting that there is no NEW material on this album, just a selection of covers and old songs.
