ROBBIE WILLIAMS

Robert Peter "Robbie" Williams^[1] (born 13 February 1974) is a BRIT Award-winning English singer-songwriter, musician, record producer and multi-instrumentalist. His career started in 1990, at the age of 16, as a dancer and singer with the pop band Take That. He left the band in 1995 to launch his solo career. He has enjoyed a very successful solo career, and his latest studio album Reality Killed the Video Star was released on November 9th 2009, including his latest hit, "Bodies". After leaving Take That, Williams launched his solo career starting things off in 1996 by covering George Michael's "Freedom", the single reached number two in the UK Singles Chart,^[2] twenty-six places higher than George Michael's original. Recordings for Williams' first album began at London's Maison Rouge studios in March of that year. Shortly after his introduction to Guy Chambers, Williams released "Old Before I Die" which would be the first single taken from his début album. Co-written by Williams with Eric Bazilian and Desmond Child, the single was released in April 1996, hitting number-two on the UK Charts;^[2] however, it was largely ignored on international charts. The second single, "Lazy Days", was released in mid-1997. Although Williams was going through re-hab at the time, he was allowed to check out to shoot the video for the song, but promotion for the single was non-existent, so whilst the single charted at number eight in the United Kingdom,^[2] it struggled to reach the top forty of any European chart. His début album, Life thru a Lens, was released in September 1997. The album launched with his first live solo gig at the Elysée Montmartre theatre in Paris, France. At first, the album was slow to take off, debuting at number eleven of the UK Album Charts. The third single of the album, "South of the Border", failed to make a significant impact on the UK Charts. When it was released in September 1997, it only reached number fourteen. After Williams met the record company's concerns about his future, he released what would be the fourth single taken from his album, not knowing it would become his biggest single in the United Kingdom so far, and one of his most well-known songs and successful. "Angels" became Williams' best seller in the United Kingdom, being certified 2x Platinum by the BPI.^[3] The song, apart from becoming a hit around Europe and Latin America, caused sales of his album to skyrocket. The album remained forty weeks inside the British top ten and 218 weeks altogether, making it the 58th best selling album in UK History with sales over 2.4 million.^[4] The album eventually managed to sell over three million copies in Europe alone.

Lokasi Wisata Baru

MENGHABISKAN waktu liburan tidak mesti ke Bali. Ada beberapa lokasi menarik yang patut Anda jadikan referensi. Lokasi tersebut adalah Wakatobi (Sulawesi Tenggara), Raja Ampat (Papua), Pulau Komodo (Kabupaten Manggarai Barat, Nusa Tenggara Timur), dan Tanah Toraja (Sulawesi Selatan). "Tahun 2010, Wakatobi, Raja Ampat, Pulau Komodo, dan Tanah Toraja menjadi lokasi menarik yang banyak dikunjungi masyarakat domestik atau luar negeri. Jadi, Bali atau Lombok bukan satu-satunya lokasi incaran pecinta traveling," tutur Ketua Penyelenggaran Indonesia Travel and Holiday Fair (ITHF) 2009, Panca Sarungu di Anahanta Wellness Center FX, Jakarta, Rabu (4/11/2009). Menurut Panca, pergeseran lokasi wisata tersebut dilatari oleh keinginan masyarakat mencari sesuatu yang menarik, dan tidak dijumpai di daerah lain. Untuk itulah, para travel agent melihat hal ini sebagai peluang menarik untuk memperkenalkan lokasi-lokasi baru di ajang ITHF di Jakarta Convention Center (JCC) Senayan, mulai 6-8 November 2009. "Ajang ini bisa memberikan informasi lokasi wisata yang menarik bagi masyarakat. Terutama yang menawarkan pesona alam atau segala sesuatu yang bernuansa alam," tutup Panca menyebut ada 24 travel agent yang berpartisipasi di acara ITHF 2009.
