I was expecting the same as you Monsoon, I am expecting the backlash within the next couple of days from the tabloids, it is no recommendation for journalists is it? being predictable. :cry: but they tried not to be this morning. :blink: Robbie has as top ten hit. OK, lower than we wanted but it still takes some doing especially after 10 years and not being the new face like the "new/old band on the block"

yes, I do know where they came from. It is from an Australian interview he did last month with Jackie O He was asked alot of questions and he had to answer them in super quick time. These remarks came from the SEX Questions he was given. I will have to go and listen to the interview again if you want some more of the stupid questions he was given. Q one. 'Would he sleep with a bloke' so off the top of his head he said "I wouldn't enjoy it but I could do it under pain of death. Or if it meant saving a baby bunny from being burned alive (laughing) Q. two "What do you look for in a woman" "A great set of t*ts and a slappable arse are the must-haves for me," the only thing that is annoying is that the 3am girls just put up part of the quotes or story not saying where it came from . Why they do not do their features properly, God only knows. Someone should tell them that not alot get passed his fans. We know the story and the whole story, don't we girls. :D

have a fab time watching Robbie. :yahoo:

thanks it was lovely to watch it again. I like the 'how droll' Robbie says when the snow starts to fall. :) the good old days. I want them back!

I can see Ireland are loving Robbie. Bloody fickle public. Whats wrong with the UK and Ireland. Lovelight is a great track. So I guess no free concert for Ireland then. B)

I find it the most funny thing going, really honestly I am laughing my head off. Yes and ironic too. Way to go Robbie, that will show them won't it.

you can leave your comment on this article if you want Susie. Two have already http://music.monstersandcritics.com/news/a...concert_grosses

how right you are Jupiter, I had that confirmed to me this afternoon when I speaking to a lady who adores Robbie, her words were 'I love Robbie' yet she did not buy the single or the album because it is not Robbie's music and she heard it was not very good, so the feed back on it from fan to fan must be a negative, unless it is the press she was talking about. But she did say she would love him to release another 'Swing' album or ballad album. She then went on to say her friend saw Robbie twice in the UK and thought he was fantastic and she did not buy Rudebox either :blink: Yet both of them cannot wait to see him in concert again. Go figure, I can't. So most definately they are very fickle.

I am not suprised at all, Robbie is out of mode in the UK. I like to know where is large fan base is. Well, I am sticking with him through thick and thin. Robbie has had amazing success with Tripping Feel the Fever. Although it did not get to number 1. I love Tripping, one of his best. But why is there so much riding for an artist on singles, surely it is the albums that are the important sellers.

oh I will show them. There is never enough praise towards Robbie. The tabloids don't like sensible facts and figures. BUMP. :dance:

Westlife may be pathetic Scotty, but popular all the same. I cannot understand it either. Getting to No1 again proves that the public like their cover songs. Do they have pride or satisfaction in what they do? I doubt it! But they can laugh all the way to the bank on little creativity. I don't suppose I can ask if Rudebox is still in the album Top Ten. Kinda of praying that it is. Rudebox is doing great still in Europe, still the No.1 album in the Euro charts for a 2nd week and sold two million in it's first week. Robbie overall has sold over 12 million albums in 2006. fantastic :yahoo:

Robbie's 'Rudebox' holds top spot in Europe LONDON - An unchanged top three on European Top 100 Albums sees Robbie Williams start a second week at No. 1 with ''Rudebox'' (Chrysalis). :heart:

Robbie's 'Rudebox' holds top spot in Europe LONDON - An unchanged top three on European Top 100 Albums sees Robbie Williams start a second week at No. 1 with ''Rudebox'' (Chrysalis). It drops from 1 to 2 in the United Kingdom, where sales fell by two-thirds on an initial 147,000 to a second-week tally of 49,000. The album holds at No. 1 in Germany and Switzerland, climbs 4-2 in the Belgian region of Wallony and from 9 to 5 in Portugal and debuts at No. 2 in Sweden. It loses pole position in Italy, Finland, Denmark and Austria :cheer: :cheer: :cheer:

naughty I know, thought I would make a seperate header, if the tabloids won't put it in their daily's and Robbie's management team do not feed the news to the UK public. I will do my best to do it myself. :cheer:

British artists dominate Euro music sales Thu Nov 9, 2006 12:00 PM GMT edited LONDON (Reuters) - British acts dominated the list of top-selling bands and artists across Europe this year heralding a "golden age" for the country's music scene, the UK record industry's trade association said on Thursday. Performers such as Coldplay, The Kooks, Katie Melua and the Kaiser Chiefs scooped 19 out of 36 Platinum awards given to artists selling more than one million copies of an album across Europe, the British Phonographic Industry (BPI) said. U.S. artists took 12 of the awards run by the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry, including two for the Scissor Sisters who are signed to a UK label. Robbie Williams was the most successful UK performer, receiving awards for three separate albums whose total sales exceeded 12 million.

here you are Jupiter especially for you and to Robbie's PR team. This is how to do it! http://www.ilikemusic.com/images/article_images/full/robbiewilliams_rudebox_f.jpg ROBBIE WILLIAMS LEADS BRIT MILLION SELLERS UK Acts Lead Platinum List music3 http://music3w.com/images/r/robbie_williams_rudebox_130x80.jpg Robbie Williams currently leads the top European sellers list this year according to the BPI.

either way both artists Robbie and James have done remarkably well. Robbie especially, fantastic to read that he had two entries and was the top artist. :cheer: rather sadly Sky News had a report on how well British artists are doing in Europe, as you can guess no mention of Robbie, just mentioned the new bands, although they did show a clip of him performing. Where is Robbie's PR company. I am getting really, really pissed off. He IS the top artist in Europe, it says so in black and white and they don't feed that information to the news channels. Geez , swearing like a trooper I am. :puke2: :puke2:

perhaps because it was Scotty.

a fabulous interview. I love Robbie and his open, down to earth honest talk. There is no one around like him.

I will tell Howard that Jupiter and he is going to get a abit of a telling off from me too. :D

:cheer: Great that Jamiroquai is going have a No.1 album. :cheer: I just cannot believe Westlife going to No.1 again. :lame: hoping for a big weekend sales drive for U2/Greenday :dance: I suppose I had better not ask where Robbie is.

I thought he was doing what he wants Ziggy with Rudebox, EMI have gone all out with various websites for this project in support of Robbie's idea's and it is a very good concept too and should have taken the UK by storm, unfortunately is hasn't. His large casual fan base are not supporting Robbie on this album or, perhaps they have all switched their aligence to TT. Is it time for Robbie to do his last album under the EMI contract with Guy Chambers? I think it is.

I have just watched a news clip. I think it was Channel 4 and they said MTV Award Fix was it that obvious? It was really so blantantly geared up for the US market and their stars that it is obscene. How come Robbie did not feature, when he had the biggest selling tour, his album happens to be No.1 in Copenhagen, Denmark, where the MTV show was being screened from and Robbie's album is No.1 in most of the European countries and on top of that I have been reading a few German sites that they spent hours and days voting for Robbie. I bet you any money that they don't count any votes at all. It makes me sick. and our bloody country goes along with it.

I don't agree with those figures worldwide. If Rudebox sold nearly 150.000 in the UK first week, I highly doubt he only sold 230,000 copies from Australia to Europe. It does not appear right. IMO But I guess I cannot argue with what they say.

I agree with you. I am pleased, in a way GA get their 1st No.1 with the GH. Is it true that they are thinking of stopping soon? and yes let's give HOME GROWN talent a chance. Shame the press and lots of the cynics out there never gave it to Robbie. Talented, amazing lycist and great performer and Rudebox is one stunning album. Have you heard it?
