Robbie Williams is threatening to end Michael Bublé's marquee reign, but he has another contender and that's Coldplay. Both want to be the all-important number one before Christmas. This week, the 45-year-old entertainer will release his first Christmas album "The Christmas Present," while Coldplay's anticipated new album "Everyday Life" is due out on Friday.
Robbie Williams vs. Coldplay before Christmas
Both releases come a month before Christmas. This could mean artists have to stay at the top for four weeks. According to some British sources, the LP should expect high sales from them. A source told The Sun: “Coldplay and Robbie Williams are both massive forces when it comes to selling albums. So the sales figures will increase enormously in the next week.”
The musicians have a strong track record and a very dedicated fan base. They will always fight for their performance so that they become number one. At the moment it looks like Coldplay is heading him to the post, but everything can change in a week and a half - especially given the publicity he's been doing. The star has certainly been ramping up promotion for his "Christmas Present", including a performance at the Royal Variety Performance this week where he sang a duet with Rod Stewart and Jamie Cullum.
Joint song with Helene Fischer in the album
A few days ago, social media also announced that the former Take That member had recorded a song in collaboration with pop icon Helene Fischer. It's the Christmas song “Santa Baby”, which fans can already find online and listen to. However, we have to wait a little longer before he releases the entire track list of his album. But he spoke warmly about the pop singer and was very happy about working with her. Robbie also shared that Helene is a very passionate singer. He could only admire her enjoyment of the whole thing.
