Thanks.
I really really hope he does it. I think he deserves it - if ever anyone got a grip on themselves and sorted themselves out, it's him, and it shows in this record, it really does. And the man deserves a proper boost.

And let's face it, if your JLS and you have to be number 2 to someone, there's no shame in being number 2 to Robbie Williams, is there.

I shall have everything crossed.

I'm hearing that JLS have the #1 album selling 239,600 copies. Robbie is #2 with 238,000

Don't know how true that is, but if it is; i'm gutted. He deserved that #1. He really did.

Well, it's all about sales and longevity anyway, not who get sstraight in at number one. Isn't it? ;)

Just think - people will still be buying this Robbie album in 5 years time, when he releases something new and people who've just found him will want to hear his old stuff as well, like I did with TT (cost me a bloody fortune it did, they're far too prolific!)
But... no one will be buying this JLS album in 5 years time. Will they?

:)

I just wanted him to keep his run of #1 albums intact

Damn JLS and their catchy music

Apparently Rob personally called JLS to pass on his congratulations on being #1

Robbie Williams secures a second week at Billboard's European Albums summit with "Reality Killed The Video Star" (Virgin/EMI), while Black Eyed Peas' "I Gotta Feeling" (Interscope/Universal), in its 21st chart week, again tops European Hot 100 Singles.

Second-week U.K. sales of 85,000 for Williams' album give it a total of 323,000 to last weekend as it slips 2-4 there. It's off the top in Germany and Holland, 1-2, but stays at No. 1 in Austria, debuts at No. 2 in Sweden and No. 12 in Poland, and races 35-7 in Hungary.

ooh yay

That's a good result, Im pleased that it's done well

After the Brits, the album went up 13 places and was #8 in yesterday's album chart

That's one good thing about the Brits, most of the performers always get a boost in sales after the show
