Though to me it has this Christmas-y vibe to it.... Only a good thing Grin

I'm singing it constantly - I absolutely love it and it's the first non-TT thing I've adored for a while.

So there.

Quote :: Robbie Williams: 'You Know Me'

Those elements of the media that enjoy extinguishing a popstar's bonfire with their own urine are taking delight in reporting that Robbie's bid for a comeback-capping No.1 has yet again been thwarted by an X Factor act. However, let's take this opportunity to get things into perspective. 'Bodies' is his biggest crowd-pleaser since 'Feel', his Reality album's just shifted 240,000 copies in a week, and there's even an air of warm 'n' fuzziness between him and Gazza Barlow. From where we're sitting, Robbie's not doing half bad.

Now comes 'You Know Me', a single whose very title seems to cosy up to all those fans he's neglected in recent years - just the sort of fans who are likely to enjoy this tune. Borrowing sufficiently from Francoise Hardy's 'Voila' to earn the chanteuse a co-writing credit, it's a classic Robbie ballad with lashings of strings, "shoo-ba-ba" backing vocals and a lovely, timeless-sounding chorus melody. There's even an acknowledgement that the boy's realised the error of his ways: "I've been doing what I like when I like how I like – it's joyless." The UFOs' loss is our gain.

*sigh*
What's going on with that. They're not convincing me he didnt have enough songs to make a couple of b-sides.

He always used to do bsides and they were usually really good too! Like you say Dawn, he must have some spare stuff that he could have used for the singles Roll Eyes

He said he had anough for two albums. So where are these other songs! Roll Eyes

#15 yesterday but heading for top 10 in this weekend's charts, hopefully Clap

Power of X Factor Rock

Yeah I should think the X Factor will give it a bit of a boost in this weekend's chart Grin

You know, I dont know if I want it, seeing as it doesn't have anything new on the B side.
I guess I'm not as big a fan as I thought!

Maybe I'll download one. Just because.
*sigh*

The remixes on the download version are crap, but the Bodies remix on the actual CD is quite good Yes

A few of us mods at rw.com have sent a message to Robbie via his management to let him know that b-sides are very much missed Yes

#4 in the midweeks! I reckon it might drop by Sunday though, but it's brilliant anyway Clap

As of yesterday

1. Rage Against The Machine 175.1k
2. Joe McElderry 109.7k
3. Lady GaGa 29k
4. Peter Kay 23k
5. Robbie Williams 20k
6. Cheryl Cole 17k
7. 3OH! feat Katy Perry 17k

Im hoping after GMTV this morning that Robbie might jump up a place or two by the end of the week!!

Number 5 is still good though, considering that the songs been floating around the charts for like 4 weeks already Grin
