Robbie Williams Pleads For U.S. Airplay

Ananova reports Robbie Williams asked 15,000 fans at a New York concert to phone local radio stations to urge them to play his latest single. “Even if you don’t like it, can you ask for it?” he pleaded with the crowd, many of whom didn’t know who he was. By the end of a raunchy 30 minute set he had at least a few girls in the audience chanting his name. Before he performed his hit ‘Angels’, he joked to the crowd, “This song was released here a few years ago and guess what? It wasn’t a hit. But I’m not bitter. It made me a star everywhere in the world but here.”
