why Robbie Williams' Escapology fails in the U.S?

You are so right! I love that album and still listen to it regularily. I think because America's music market is focusing on rap too much, he did not have much of a chance. Furthermore, he did not promote the album very much outside of Europe.\nBut, it IS his most successful US CD to date, reaching #42 on the sales chart a few year back.

Because popular music in America is so corporate, the best music will never get heard.  It has to be Mainstream, which means simplistic, boring, derivative, and appealing to most number of people.  Since most people don't know S**T about music, anything that's well written, original, innovative and challenging will never be heard.

It's a beautiful song, a favourite of mine off of All the Right Reasons (amazing album, by the way). Unfortunately, most of the airplay for 'Far Away' is in the UK because it is a European single.

This is because some albums have many different versions. UK versions versus USA versions, and extended versions. It will try to pick the one that is most likle the CD you are ripping in, but sometimes it can be wrong. You can find it yourself manually. I have also ran into some pretty crazy problems, where it looked like the right album, but when I told it to go ahead and use the info, it came up as something totally different. It's nice software, but it still has plenty of woogies.

Local french language music works very well. They don't listen to Canadian rockers such as Avril Lavigne more than in the US.

Don't worry about these parochial americans, I understand the question and agree with you entirely. He was always overrated and only became famous after he married one of the spice girls.\n\nTo those who didn't understand the question, wake up. There is a whole world outside the us

He's sexy and a born entertainer!  He may be appear a little arrogrant or overly confident to the public but anyone who has read his book or seen programmes on TV he is a manic depressive.  I think he's good looking, got a great body and has a fantastic sense of humour.  Robbie, if you're reading this - I'll date you! lol

You're all swines - Robin Williams is one of the funniest, and indeed cleverest (not sure that's a real word, but it will do) guys alive.\n\nUnfortunately, we won't get that film in the UK until I am old and haggard.

The legal system needs a major overhaul. In this country money talks. If R.Kelly was a regular everyday guy he would have been in jail a long time by now. Can you imagine he's allowed to arrange his court appearances around his concert dates? A truly messed up system.

Sounds like chelski's marketing machine is getting into top gear, not surprising since they nicked Man U's top man Kenyon\n\nWhere the British have failed in recent years in pop music (in conquering the US market) we might just succeed with association football via clubs likwe Man U, Chelski, Arsenal, Liverpool etc

I agree mate, American Idol is crap! By the way I'm in England (UK)

It is hard to say for me really, it is considered a classic in London, but I personally tried really hard to like it and came up short.\n\nI think it might have gotten panned at the time because there were so many bands doing the same thing (Blur being my fave) that it sounded kind of like a copycat.

Maybe in Europe, not in the US!

Both UK and USA are being over run by third world people. Worse they think they are doing us a favor. I still can't figure that stupid statement out yet. \nMost of the ones we get are illegal they are out numbering the legals. We also have towns that are all one race you'd think you just crossed the southern border. We do have great weather but they aren't coming for that its welfare here too.
