:puke2: and I bet she's got such a cute laugh :puke2: :lol: :teresa:

:blink: I almost forgot about the Grammys! That will definitely boost her sales.

It could be a no1 but I will say no2. I don't know it just somehow fits better in my brains! It will sell about 60k on its best week. When is it released?

Progress top10 again this week ;) itunes: The Flood no59 (it is about to pick up again the next 2 weeks) Kidz no123 Angels no138 (must have been played somewhere during the week) Rule the World no184 (typical :) whenever TT is around this makes an appearance) Let's see how these will evolve next week and the week after that

Am I the only one who's not surprized by the overplay of BTW? What did you expect? Same goes for topping the itunes chart so fast! What huge is she against anyway? I think she will have an easy no1 next week. With a quick estimation if she has a double bar and Champ was heading for ~80K (which means ~25K friday-saturday) she could sell about 40-50K in 1,5 days. If we consider Bruno and JJ should sell ~60K she could finally end up top5 (no4 behind Adelle) or at least low top10 if Gaga sells 35-40K.

The clip I've listenned to was not that bad quality after all... There is a LOT of background noise in the original as well. The drama queen part ruins it a bit imo, because it lyrically makes it target gay people only rather than people who FEEL different in any way. Musically it is a old but new, it is ok. I ve only had a few listens but I think I like other Gaga songs more... Considering her status and the anticipation I think it will sell really fast but will last longer than her other big singles.

I agree about Kidz. I don't want it to be the CR song... I'd rather see how succesful it would be on its own. (it won't make much difference though, let's face it with or without CR Kidz will get all possible radio and TV support) About the cover: I like the colours but I do not get the concept here (is there any actually). Will they only use yellow-to-red in all covers to match with the album? :o The album has a great cover, but the flood and now kidz... <_< I am glad Kidz is not burnt out by overplay already. At last this is done properly...

Are these *album only* versions (the downloads) or can I download them seperately? ''The Rudebox DVD features a series of nine short films inspired by the album, commissioned by Robbie and created by some of the most talented independent film-makers.'' Is this any good? Sounds really interesting to me...

I am sorry to rain on your parade here but: (IMO) The video has some nice parts but as a whole it is an abomination ... Extremely cheap and disappointing (stupid and disgusting at parts also). The song on its own is average/ok really. How can one of the most beautiful women in showbiz look that bad an a video clip? It is neither kinky nor funny (not to mention sexy :puke2: ). It is just a mash-up of catchy 20sec clips cherry picked from the likes of Gaga or Kesha... or whatever. It does not even have a concept! :o No more trash from Rihanna (the best female popstar of the last 5 years imo) please! Other than that , seeing people's warm approval, i think it will get top5. (It will not make me watch the video again though!)

I hate musicals anyway... :P It is surprising that there are no musicals for his life though. There has been noboby as big for the last years :o (+ he is a spicy character nevertheless) Still there is no way anyone could convince me to watch it! :lol:

It is identical to Kanye's Heartless! But it is a strong single, I believe it will get to no1.

I think my original idea was much more... painful :P (sduuub!) :teresa:

Doen't surprise me at all... typical Robbie However this is scary in many ways :o :o :o (the very thought of the sneak between to start with, I can't stop thinking of a .... chopper :kink: watching that.. )

No, just the ones he wrote solo ;) Lets face it 75% of the material is Robbie's work (even 8 letters appearently), the rest probably helped with a melody (Gary) or polished the choruses (Howard). To be fair WDYWFM is Mark's song all over. For Affirmation & Flowerbed I don't know who did what but for the rest 9 it is mr RW. (I usually keep this to myself because TT fans may not like the concept; deep inside they know it is true, they know TT songs better than I do anyway- they just don't want to admit it) :teresa: :teresa: :teresa: :teresa: :arrr: :teresa: :teresa: :teresa: :teresa:

Well Jason looks supicious to me if that counts. All those hand-tricks... he could be doing some voodoo stuff to the other 4. As for Howard he is too silent, I bet he has a lot to hide. :P I think the master-manipulator is Ayda though! I bet she secretly wants to be an XF judge. :lol:

This poll would be a little subjective anyway... it is Robbie's forum after all ;) :lol: After a lot of listens I still hear Robbie. When are we getting the first live performance? Brit awards?

Well, it wouldn't last forever anyway. It will be quite mature to split up when they are all still friends this time. For a change... I also feel TT definitely won't top next tour in same way neither TT4 nor Robbie solo will probably repeat Progress' huge sales. Soon enough (maybe even in a year) it could become the best-seller for both acts. But both have had great sales and chart success so far in their careers, let's not be greedy. A great album (Rob solo) is good enough for me even if it sells 2Xplat. (it won't) Even if the reunion ends right after the tour finishes, both acts have benefited from it and in a surprising way it has worked out much better and more civilized than I expected, love the album , love the singles, will watch them on tour and I've come to like the rest 4 a bit more

This is getting creepy! :hithead: :blink: (the wikipedia has changed the chorus singer from Robbie to Gary and back to Robbie! :drama: ) I was 100% sure it was Robbie before that poll... could it be wishful thinking? It is true their voices are similar at that pitch but I still think it is Robbie... I mean everyone said it was Robbie on the first listen (even reviewers) before this discussion started... and now it is taking over the forums + utube :o

:o It is clearly Robbie (although it could be the key Barlow likes to sing at) but even from the pronounciation it must be Rob. Finally it is definitely not a tempo Gary is comfortable with... And btw for copyright reasons the utube video you posted a link to has modified pitch... The album version is different. (you honestly ask or is this poll some kind of trick that I just walked into? :huh: )

Bruno had a massive 1st week. He could easily do 80k for 2nd week, I am not sure Britney can do that in 6 days... Anyway imo it is 'justice served', Bruno's song is 20 times better than Britney's.

Britney will soar ahead like she's done everywhere else in the world, even with that poor song. There is no doubt ;)

Bruno Mars. He has had monster hits! Perhaps something like Adelle 60K and Bruno 90K (followed by Rihanna 40K)... I still don't believe either act is set to sell huge amounts. If Bruno continues to release hit songs he may sell a lot in the long run though.

Bruno has the best song... but Britney is Britney. I think it will be no1 Britney and no2 Bruno (but it could be close)

It has been indeed confirmed... It is KIDZ :) 28th February out!

They both benefited hugely, I don't believe Robbie or TT could have released a new album to hit 2 million that fast and probably 3million+ sometime in the future. That said I have to disagree about Progress being the best thing Robbie has done musically though. It is fresh and very good (beyond anyone'e expectetions) but Rob's discography has had better albums. <_< Well, watching the chart run of patience I actually think that all these top2 weeks won't be ever matched again by either act as both are album sellers... It is all about right timing though: it is out of the question to expect from RTW to overtake Leona, nobody could have done it at the time. I wonder how the next single will do... I guess it will not be really succesful on it's own it will just push the album up again. P.S: I am dying to see if TT are nominated (they will be) and for which Brit awards. I don't remember either act ever winning best album. (not sure if they were nominated, christmas releases are not usually chosen and Robbie or TT release around Christmas period).
