Robyn in 05

How high do you think her album will eventually chart in 05? This was definitely the dark horse of the 00s that just grew and grew in popularity. Since MIA had her debut that year it might not make the top 5 but 05 was such a mediocre year it should definitely make the top 10.

Re: Robyn in 05

It should chart for 2007 I think, the 2007 album that's getting all the rave reviews is fundamentally different from the 2005 one. Much better, too.

Re: Robyn in 05

I just want to know how many more times it's going to be released. It's getting to the point where it's been released as many times as Chinese Democracy was supposed to be released.

I don't understand how that is good marketing these days. If somethings out and it's good people don't need to wait until it gets a release in their country...

Re: Robyn in 05

It's just twice, really. Once the original album in Sweden in 2005 and in the UK in 2007 and then the new album in the UK and Australia in 2007 and in the US in 2008. Ok, that first release in the UK of the old album is rather useless a few months before the reiussue, but other than that I don't see the big deal.

Re: Robyn in 05

I suppose. I don't get why we still see different release dates though. I guess you have to tour around the album but still, like I said if an album is good people are going to get their hands on it whether you released it in their country or not. It seems worthless to have separate releases these days.

I also think it's funny that Metacritic shows it as a new release every time it "comes out".

Re: Robyn in 05

I would say, for purpose of polls for this forum use 2005, for individual lists go with whatever year it first became available to you.

So, if I include it in 2008 end of the year polls, I might do something like this:

#10: Blah - Bleck
(#11: Robyn - Robyn)
#11: The Blecks - My Favorite Blah

To show where it is in my list.
