Robbie Williams is not going to be number one

We'd imagine - reading the hilarious advice to local residents being circulated here in Milton Keynes, prior to the invasion of waves and waves of Williams fans - that the poor performance of Rudebox isn't exactly going to break Robbie's bank balance or heart.

But the apparent 7,000 copies sold is pretty chilling for EMI; it's not exactly a glowing return on the investment. We'd imagine the pressure will be on for something a little more blue-rinse friendly next time around.
