I have not seen it yet, was it that bad? Or because of the so much discussed incident I saw twitter exploding about?

He had done a very structured promotion this time and invest a lot into the UK. It was his 13th no 1 at the end :-)

would not have expected it, despite it is still only the beginning of the week. He got his 13th number one and I hope that he will sell well again this week. I wonder how many albums are sold entirely including Germany etc. App 200000?

so happy for you and also for all those who created this gem

thanks

how many sales is platinum? 220000?

has he now already sold 150k in the UK alone?

great achievement and in UK? 2 or 3 as I read Rod got it (Also great)

me too, Alex. However Germany has changed a bit the last years and is very into 'German' speaking and German provenience music. The number two spot is already a very good achievement there. Bit sad about Dutch performance :-( But Christmas is not that huge here :-)

I would like both Rod and The Who getting it. Funny that three dinosaurs are that successful

She is very special and one of the most famous presenters with her own magazine in Germany, never PC so clearly she adores him. They know each other a long time, he once kissed her pregnant belly when he promoted Candy. As I had a surgery I could watch a bit more TV than usual and the lady presenters on the main TV programs in Germany could not tell enough how much they adore Rob. The other lady in the round in the talk show is a famous news magazine presenter and she was also star struck

Aldi, the stores

wow Australia....I think after his promo in Germany they will follow suit at least next week

like your analysis, Alex. He is on every channel in Germany at the moment and on a huge show tomorrow, I wonder if he will reach no 1 there either

I also think that the marketing using different media is much better than the last time And as much as I loved (still) Party like a Russian the choice for a lead single is much better. Today his promotion starts in Germany and I am sure at least next week he will be no 1 there too. He will have three days straight for promotion and then I see nothing live for few days. Maybe he will jump to Australia in that time? Very straining schedule.

wow, thanks Alex

wow, that would be amazing...will he run around his garden naked then as he promised :-)?

I like Party like a Russian and you are right, Alex, he is a chameleon. You never know what is next

It is interesting to follow twitter in the moment regarding Rob. He is so polarizing between totally ugly remarks which make me shudder (including 'may he had better died instead of Robin Williams') to unconditional love. One side he is crap, one side he is the best of the best. mymymy. I watched the original video of one of my most loved Rob songs yesterday 'come undone'. He came a very long way since then. Sometimes I really miss this bad boy. Then I know that he might be dead indeed if he had continued like this. Anyway, he is working hard for the promo of this album. This week the German promo will set in and as the Dutch people also look German TV we will see more of Rob here. I hope that he will achieve a number one in Austria, Germany Switzerland in the next weeks and so hope he will also have a number one in the UK.

Is there anyone else who cannot relate to black Friday or cyber Monday and this stuff? I always think people must be smarter and then town is full as if they give away stuff for free

I wonder where I can see it :-) despite I have BBC television here in the Netherlands the red button does not help here

I think that this is quite a lot considering it was November and not everyone was already in Christmas mode. Thanks for the update, Alex In Germany he is no 2 either as the lead singer of Rammstein beat him to place one. He will start the German promo next week. I don't know however how many albums he shifted. Maybe 15 - 20000 there? Do you know Alex?

Very good reviews, I am looking forward to read yours ladies

I have never seen such a string of positive tweets like for this homecoming gig for Robbie

I hope he will be place 2 and will continue steady sales to Christmas. The huge shows are still ahead and the nearer to Christmas the more people feel Christmassy. I also heard that his CD will be sold with Aldi as up today. Well, maybe no number one for the Christmas album, I had hoped for, but a big success nevertheless. What I wonder however is: There is no money in album sales aside you sell Adele's amounts. If you don't tour - which he will not do for a Christmas album - where is the money then with this album?
