Oh for christ's sake this is the second time I've heard this comparison and already it's growing stale. Why the comparison? Is it the horns? The strings? The catchiness? The campness? The cover art?
Seriously, I want to know, because none of those features was ever invented, pioneered nor trademarked by a tuneless little gremlin like Lloyd. Just because it sounds like Lloyd's music doesn't make a comparison like that valid - 'Candy' sounds much more like past Robbie hits - most notably 'Tripping' - than anything Lloyd's done.

Makes no sense. Chris Evans has the most listened too breakfast show on the Radio. Robbie also took the track to Radio 1 about an hour later and played it to another 7 million listeners. Thats around 16 million listeners in the space of about 90 minutes... :sleep:
