так..походу всё становится ясно.. :argh:
ребят, прочтите, не поленитесь. хотя первые бы 3 абзаца

I guess we are all familiar with the official Robbie Williams site. Maybe you were one of those unfortunate fans who suffered through the ticket fiasco of the Close Encounters tour last year, and paid Ј25.00 for the privilege or suffered through poor service, invisible free gifts, site downtimes.. well on top of all that - it seems RW.com are not always open and honest with Rob's fans, at the expense of Rob's chart positions and sales statistics.

Today one of our members discovered that whilst ie music have been promoting the new single ‘She’s Madonna’ on the official site and their myspace, encouraging members to download from wwwrobbiewilliams.com, It is a fact that all the music downloads from that site count for nothing when it comes to chart registration.

It is not an official download site… in other words if you download from that site your purchase doesn’t get Robbie any higher in the charts.

I appreciate this isn't the reason we buy Rob's music but Robbie fans have wanted to show their support by placing him high in the charts, since the slatings by the press of rudeboxs performance.

Perhaps the unexpected lower sales of rudebox and its released singles to date was due to this grave error on the part of RW.com? Have the efforts of these fans been wasted?

The fansites of other artists nearly all advertise their artists latest download releases, BUT they are sold through the official download sites listed on the radio 1 website to ensure their artists achieve good chart positions. RW.com do not

Quote from an e-mail received by a purerobbie member:

The downloads sold via the Robbie site do not count towards chart registration sorry to say

RW.com do not advise you that your purchase will not be included in any chart totals.

So whilst unwitting fans have been thinking they are showing support for their favourite artist, in fact it has made no difference to what position the albums or singles chart at! In fact, it could seriously damage positions if the majority of his fanbase are being loyal and supportive by using his official site for their purchases (when they're actually in stock )

The press have recently slammed Robbie’s releases and labelled them failures, just how many sales weren’t counted ? Did you buy your Rudebox download from them? Would those download figures have made a great difference…I believe so.

How about the official sites sales of physical cds and dvds..... do these count?

From 1st January this year the way that the sales are calculated changed:

The shake-up means that any download will count towards the top 75, even if it is not available on the high street. Previously, downloads only counted towards the chart in the week before a song was released on CD, and until two weeks after the CD was deleted.

Test charts show that Christmas songs by Wham and Mariah Carey would have been in last years festive top 40 under the new rules. CD singles are also allowed extra tracks and extended running times to help them compete with downloads.

"This new ruling changes the nature of a single and puts the consumer in the driving seat," said Steve Redmond, director of the UK Official Charts Company. Is the consumer in the driving seat ?, not if they purchase from RW.com it seems -

Where would Robbie’s so called flops have been in the charts had all the download from his official site been counted?

Downloads have helped to revitalise the UK's singles market, driving sales up from 32.3m in 2004 to 62.1m in the first 51 weeks of 2006. US hip-hop duo Gnarls Barkley became the first act to reach number one purely through downloads in April 2006.

I ask you to contact rw.com on info@robbiewilliams.com and voice your concerns, and insist that they make it known to fans that their purchase of downloads and physical cds (if that is the case - we are still waiting to get a response to this) do not count in the charts and to see if they could use a download distributer in the future that DOES count towards the chart as the majority of official artist sites already do.

Other music artist official sites direct fans to official download sites why doesn't RW.com - surely they want to support their artist too?

The following are the only official download sites that count:
iTunes, Napster, MyCokeMusic, Woolworths, 7 Digital Media, Playlouder, MSN Music, Big Noise Music, HMV, Virgin, Tesco, Tiscali Music, Sonic Selector, Wanadoo, city16.com, recordstore.co.uk, KarmaDownload, Wippit, The Music Engine Service, Bleep, easyMusic

Robbie is ‘doing all he can’ - what a shame his official site aren’t

уже 15 место на текущий момент..может в 10ку вкатимся в воскресенье..

ну это было до выхода физического сингла.
лишь по предзаказам и скачиваниям..в том числе с официальника, откуда не учитывались зачётные баллы..

а теперь сингл вышел. его можно купить в магазине. проблема с сайтом известна, люди качают с других мест. поэтому всё налаживается.

Согласно Mediatraffic, She's Madonna стала третьим новым лучшим релизом на этой неделе ВО ВСЁМ МИРЕ с 109,000 копиями.

Не так плохо для песни, у которой нет промоушена и которая не была выпущена в Америке.

в hit 40 uk песня на 25 месте.
но в более значимом хит-параде Британии -на 16

This is the new song by ‘Rehab boy’ Robbie Williams called “She’s Madonna”.

Despite his absence from the music scene, his mansion, parties and his usual celebrity life, he proves with this latest record that he’s still got it. It’s got a very 80s feel, which is a vibe the whole Rudebox album seems to follow.

The video fits the song and Robbie’s style supremely well too, proving his campness and metrosexual behaviour more than ever before.

Song Rating: 8/10 Video Rating: 8/10 Overall: 8/10
