Robbie Williams ponovo napušta Take That? / Robbie Williams to leave Take That again?

Nakon što je njegova bivša izdavačka kuća EMI odbila da 2009. godine obnovi ugovor sa njim, Robbie Williams se posle skoro 20 godina vratio u grupu Take That sa kojom je postigao ogroman uspeh zahvaljujući kojem je ponovo postao zanimljiv izdavačkim kućama. Kako pišu razni internet portali, postoji mogućnost da Robbie potpiše novi solo ugovor, što znači da će morati da preskoči predstojeću turneju sa svojim bendom. 

Kao najozbiljniji kandidat za novog izdavača pominje se Universal koji je i objavio poslednji album grupe Take That "Progress" - drugi najbrže prodavani album u Velikoj Britaniji ikada.

Iako se Robbie raduje turneji, ne isključuje mogućnost da će morati da je preskoči ukoliko dobije ponudu koju "ne može da odbije".

Poslednji solo album, Reality Killed the Video Star, Robbie Williams je objavio 2009. godine.

After his former label EMI had refused to renew a contract with him in 2009, Robbie Williams reunited again with a band Take That after almost 20 years with whom he achieved a great success and he's back in demand now. According to various internet portals, there is a possibility that Robbie signs a new solo contract, which means that he'll have to skip an upcoming Take That tour. 

Universal, that released the latest Take That album Progress - which became the second fastest-selling album in the UK, has been mentioned as the most serious candidate for a new Robbie's label.

Although he's looking forward to the band tour, he might skip it out if he gets an offer that he "can't refuse".

The last solo album, Reality Killed the Video Star, Robbie Williams released in 2009.

Duffy napušta muziku? / Duffy leaves music industry?

Britanska pevačica Duffy, koja je svetsku slavu stekla hitom Mercy i albumom Rockferry, razmišlja o povlačenju iz sveta muzika, piše britanski tabloid Daily Mirror. Glasine o ovome kruže već neko vreme, a kao glavni razlog navodi se komercijalni neuspeh njenog poslednjeg studijskog albuma Endlessly. Pevačica trenutno nema menadžera, niti se trudi da nađe nekog ko bi se brinuo o njenoj karijeri i, kako ovaj tabloid tvrdi, u depresiji je zbog loše prodaje. U prilog ovome govori i to što Duffy mesecima nigde nije nastupala, a prodaji albuma nisu pomogla ni pojavljivanja u popularnim talent show programima širom sveta.

Njen prvi album Rockferry prodat je u preko šest miliona primeraka i bio je broj #1 na top-listima širom sveta, dok je Endlessly prodat u oko 400 hiljada primeraka bez većih uspeha na top-listima.

Ipak, u martu bi trebalo da bude objavljen drugi single sa albuma My Boy koji će joj možda doneti više sreće.

British singer/songwrier Duff,y who rose to fame with a hit single Mercy and multi platinum album Rockferry, thinks about leaving the music industry, british tabloid Daily Mirror  reported. Rummors about this have been ogoing for some time and as the main reason is mentioned a comercial flop of her latest album Endlessly. The singer doesn't have a manager at the moment, neither she tries to find someone who would take care of her career. According to Mirror, Duffy is depressed because of bad sales. Duffy hasn't performed anywhere for months and her performances in popular talent shows in Euorope and USA didn't help album sales.

Her debut album Rockferry was sold in more than 6 million copies and went #1 in many countries, while Endlessly sold around 400k copies world wide without big success on charts.

Still, new single from Endlessly - My Boy will be released in March which maybe brings more luck to her.
