Playlisted before it's even premiered! It's premiered this Friday on Chris Moyles' show. I'm not sure if it's leaked yet either, I had a look around, but no luck also

nah don't bother looking, you won't hear it anywhere before friday. besides, it's just over 1 day away for goodness sake! Radio 1 just playlist it in preparation because the song will premiere several days before the playlist is next updated - they did the same with Muse's Uprising, amongst others. and after it's premiered it'll be everywhere so just be patient

Robbie will be on Moyles' show to introduce it as well, it'll be interesting to hear how he's doing after being away from the country and out of the spotlight for a while.

Robbie's new single is also going to be aired for the first time on Real Radio at 8am tomorrow morning.

I wonder what this new song will be like? I hope it's a return to the Robbie of old and not some dance/uptempo track.

I'm really looking forward to this

I've had his Greatest Hits on quite a lot this past week in anticipation. I can't wait to hear his new stuff!

There was a demo on youtube yesterday but it's been removed. It sounded good.

Was it a fast song or a ballad?

Trevor Horn (ABC/Frankie/Seal) has produced the album which has to be a good thing.

I think it depends how many tracks Guy Chambers has co-written as he was always the force behind Robbie's success in my opinion. Robbie needs to swallow his pride and just accept how important Chambers is to his solo success.

I get excited by RW stuff as I think he appreciates good quality pop music (hence the collaboration with Stephen Duffy) but I don't think he can write it on his own and Duffy really didn't deliver on 'Intensive Care' imo.

The initial response from people who've had an early listen to it is very positive.

From the clip I heard on youtube, it's kind of mid-tempo. Although the bit I heard only seemed to be a verse.

It keeps getting taken off youtube, but it was from one of Robbie's videos from his website, so someone obviously doesn't want people to see it anymore.

Positive reviews for this so far, looking forward to downloading it.

Respect where it's due, he knew the last round was not up to scratch so he's raised the bar this time round.

Isn't that strange - Intensive Care is possibly my favourite album

And Guy Chambers hasn't exactly had a stellar career since the split.

I think the success of their collaboration was exactly that, the collaboration.

Did anyone listen to Robbie's new single on the radio at 8am this morning? Sadly I start work at 8am so had to leave the house before so I missed it, but will try and catch it on YouTube later on, as now that it's been played on the radio it's bound to be up on there offically over the weekend, hopefully.

Really enjoyed it. Though the chorus kinda feels shoved in, but overall, it's pretty epic and builds and swells to a great ending.

Nice one Robbie, good to have him back!

Bodies with chemsitry , bodies in the cemetary , bodies with something else that ends in "ery".

Sounds quite stupid but reasonably catchy.

Hmm, it really tries to be epic - might grow on me. Robbie got all arsey because Moyles said it was a grower.

IMO he wasn't arsey, he was only having a laugh. He'd already said it was a grower before it was played, saying after 15 times you might like it a bit. He was just taking the p155. Found the interview more entertaining than the song, but yeah, think it's a grower.

I think its rubbish

Can't see this being that big unless the housewives get their kids to download it for them.

I got the impression he was quite bothered by it as well.

He said something like, 'Oh you can't say that' and was quite miffed. The song even sounded a bit like Take That2.0 in places.

It sounds alright, but not really my thing. It might grow on me but I don't think it will be one of my favourite Robbie songs.

And he wasn't getting arsey at all, he was just having a laugh.

It's a grower but one I imagine will become huge, has an epic feeling to it already, look forward to hearing it again!

It’s terrible! Stoopid video as well. Surprised how annoyed I am at him for the punning album title, Reality Killed the Video Star what with it being produced by Trevor Horn.

I look forward to it failing miserably. He’ll be back on the pies by Xmas.
