there is another rumoured gig in Italy December 21st if I read it correctly in Marika's blog. But then we might not see him in Europe for some months. He will do the health thing and March is near so he has to rehearse

I am always wondering if this is meant serious or proper name dropping during promotion

you are so right, Laura, sometimes the comments make me speechless

he is very thin

I am disappointed about NL and Italy

So back to LA now? Family and then in January this TV diet?

like the Louis article. Thank you. If I understand the news on FB right, Rob is back next year?

without being offensive, can he really sing? I like him, I like 1D but he always looks so miserable even when he laughs.

fantastic in the UK, great sales and I assume they will continue with the promotion ahead. Still surprised about how bad the position aka sales are in any other country aside Ireland. The copies sold even with a number 18 in Germany are about 5,000 (?). That is why the venues they booked are so small in general outside the UK. it will be a great run in the UK though.

with UTR3 out in February do you think that there will also be a 'huge' album at the end of the year? I can imagine that he will do x-factor again - proper- in 2019 and the album will be out 2020 with another tour 2021. What do you think?

this will be an album I like

Interesting article. THey will continue sell great as there is a lot of TV coverage ahead. But you have to put things in perspective. NOt knowing a lot about the music business I assume that all the successful albums/songs this year aside of TT are heavy on downloads/streaming. I would be interested how many albums are sold in the rest of Europe. They will always be a national treasure in the UK. Seeing them on breakfast TV in Germany this morning the commentor was full of memories. But I wonder if people buy the album

you should, Laura, you are in for the UK information with Syd and BM is the statistics guru. I simply ask. :-) I wonder if next week the Bob Sinclair single will be out

Thanks Laura. The girls are very young. They will come back. And who is this lady?

how old are the two girls Rob mentored? I wonder if they wil do it again, especialy IF he brings out an album next yearr

8th or 9th Better Man?

yes they are number 2 in the UK, but look at the other countries.I always think that the entire picture is interesting: Imagine they will sell 120.000 in the UK this week and continue a great sale which I assume with 50,000 plus a week. At the end they might end with 400,000 plus. That is a lot. But if they do not sell well in other countries, too. this is still only impressive in one country like all albums since Progress. I have often asked myself why they do not have the success outside the UK after Progress anymore (and before asideof BW). are man bands not so well appreciated? In the UK I see them having the Christmas number 1

ITunes is slowing down already, TT is definitely about physical sales.

I think that they will have 100 K sales in the first week because of the pre orders. I wonder how they will do further. Usually GH sell well with people's memories'impact. I wonder how the sales outside the UK will actually be. iTunes is no indication there

they ,ight drop on itunes but with the pre orders the first week should be theirs

amazing happy that either the TT as wellas the Rob success continues after so many years

I think that they love all the headlines good or bad. Result achieved. If you read the comments you can doubt people's clear mind. I never read something good in the comments, no matter who is involved. not even anout Ed Sheeran and hyped acts. The comments are horrible

i think all the countries he visited love him. Ashame that he had not invested there for 12 years

this is interesting, even well know artists in the US have problems to sell this out? Mmmh

I hope there will be another referendum. I cannot imagine what is ging on in the world with so many countries thinking they are better off on them own
