Fully agree, Laura

well, he said that his lifestyle needs money and with a fortune of 175m he still has only cash reserves for some months (I assume everything else is quite well invested). He could do the risk side alone, if he wants to keep the lifestyle for his family and he might enjoy it either these days. When you count together this years vacations only, and every small bit you can read aside of what you cannot read I understand that he does not want to take risks. On the other hand, this soft washed Rob is so far away from what I liked and I know that he still has it. But it will be interesting how he will manage the balance

Professional: Progress, I loved everything, the album, the tour, Take That moments, promo Soccer Aid will stay forever now Finding his personal balance

he made quite a profit. I wonder however where he really lives these days as most of the mansions are rented out I read. CBH is where he lives in the UK?

A great Robbie year for fans head to an end. Happy Christmas to all members in here, stay healthy

I can imagine him to get the OBE next year, he his heading for it. I wonder if the musicals also make him money? He is still very appreciated and loved in the Netherlands, but not for Christmas songs. And yes, it is interesting to see the charts. I am often wondering about the British press and how they deal with 'superstars'. Did you know that Little Mix, Stormzy and these kinds are hardly known in Europe? Harry Styles and the 1D's hardly score well (place 14 in Germany I think). These days a lot of local music is popular and then the taste gets for one hit wonders you hear everyday until it is forgotten. People still may by Ed Sheeran without looking though he has overstepped his top, and Adele will be huge again I assume. I am trying to think of an American artist who is huge, really huge I mean and in the moment there is none I can think of. In that perspective Rob still holds a good place, despite many newspapers like to point out that his hey days are behind him. I agree, but see coming him back one day. The Bonn concert sold out in seconds. This man has a lot of talents. I wonder if we will ever see the TV show. By the way, does anyone know how the LAs vegas sales are? Last time I read on FB that it is not sold out yet (maybe due to Christmas)

interesting thoughts, Alex. I can see you being right

Does it also sell in Russia, Alex? I am a bit disappointed about Holland, but we are not that Christmassy and France and Italy. All in all I think the album did very well. Great promo. The only bit I was not that keen on was the 'This is not the RW Christmas show". I may be the only one from the fans who did not like the Juli scene so much. He would have had to decide: Joke or Serious. However I saw the German version (it seems every country get another one) and it does not feature David Walliams as he is not known there aside of Little Britain fans and not Ant and Dec. He sings Snowflakes. I rarely do but prefer it to the British version. Holland will have it 31st, Austria 26th. Any ideas what he is up to next year aside Vegas, Stoke and the Beethoven Bonn concert?

I liked Fairytales, watched BBC concert now (do not have the red button but can watch BBC if it is in the normal program in the Netherlands). I liked it a lot. Have not watched Michael McIntyre yet, short look at Twitter, with al the hate tirades again. You know, when the Christmas Present came out the critics had been meeh and a lot of negative reactions on social media, I thought 'this must be a success'. :-) He will have sales now every year and despite time for change not really charted well, it will be played again and again just like Santa Baby in Germany (because of Helene Fischer not Robbie :-) I saw that Rob was in France yesterday for a birthday party for Gwen, which I think is nice to do for her. Now it will be more quiet days with the families. He had promoted this album a lot, well deserved

I had to work yesterday with a severe cold and came home falling to sleep, woke up 10 minutes before GN and fall to sleep again so missed Rob. I went to twitter and checked the reaction. I think I will skip this medium forever. I am fully aware that Rob polarized since and in his entire career. But the hate out there for him with people who took the time to tweet the worst and most nasty stuff is almost unbelievable and now with the Christmas album it is even worse. Wonder if this is twitter or twitter special bad for Rob (I never look at twitter aside if it is about him :-) )

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
