Yes, I missed it in todayīs top 40. And the track is not that bad.

Was the physical single released this week?

But he's sold loads of albums though hasn't he.

Robbie's fan base are maturing just like he is, and older music buyers go for the albums, not singles I think.

Honestly, I love that track by Robbie. It sounds like an Erasureīs track and I think itīs better than the 2 first singles from his latest album.

It's a good song but I don't think it was marketed well enough. Anyway Robbie is definitely the type of artist that sells albums more than singles.

Ever since he stopped working with Guy & started writing with that duffy bloke his songs have been bloody awful.

Intensive Care is very good as an album, i always thought they'd have trouble lifting singles off it though as very few stand out..The best ones to release were Ghosts and Your Gay Friend - but they're far too rude to release for the general public..so they've settled for the bland songs. For the next album it'd be nice to have a mixture of chambers and duffy, then we might be onto a winner.

Completely agree with you there. He doesnt even need to release singles anymore - his albums would sell loads without any promotion, although his videos are class!!

Roll on Friday - Croke Park, Robbie & me (& 80,00 others!) Wohoooo

The album has been out for ages and several singles have already been released from it - later singles rarely do well. Plus I agree that it wasn't marketted very well but it doesnt really matter. The album had loads of success and that's enough.

Well, maybe he should start spending more time in Europe when he's releasing an album or single instead of dilly-dallying around in the US where he's unknown.

That's a bit harsh. With all the hounding he gets from the press no matter what he does, no wonder he prefers to live in the USA where he can get some peace! Anyway he has been busy recently with Soccer Aid etc, so give the guy a break!
