Is anyone surprised? I'm not.

Morning Sun is a nice song but it isn't single material. Strange choice for Sport Relief too.

Not suprised, for some stupid reason it was download only :sleep:

Robbie used to be one of the few artists to still release multiple formats for singles (CDs, DVDs, 12"s) so it's a shame to see him reduced to download only after only 2 singles

Not really a surprise seeing as its had hardly any promotion or radio/video plays, plus most of his fans will already have the album.

And of course its a rubbish song, which doesn't help. Its usually school chidren who buy Comic/Sport Relief songs, and I can't see this appealing to them.

I never saw any promotion for it (as Sport Relief single). I don't even think I've heard it.

His new album only got as high as #160 in the US.
I don't think he'll ever make it big in America.

Making it in america is not always essential IMO.. Robbie has established himself very well over here. Big acts like Carrie Underwood are not known internationally but the fact they are doing successfully in their home market, than that's better then nothing.

The trouble is he was away too long, his fans grew up and when he came back he didnt want to tour, did some crap performances and basically looked like a has-been compared to his old mates. Plus of course, his stuff has never really been any good since he got rid of Guy Chambers. He is finished.
