Rave Un2 - UK

Hey Y'all.

Were any singles released off Rave in the UK. If not, does anyone have any info as to why his Royal Badness was on Top of the pops at the time promoting?

The Greatest Romance Ever Sold was released three months after the album (Feb 2000). It peaked at no. 65.

Im sure it was released earlier than that, as he appeared on TOTP performing it on Nov 99.

The import was available but it didn't get a full UK release until Feb.

did he sing TGRES on TOTP?

the only performances i recall are Get Wild,Holy River.
Fuck the funk - it's time to ditch the worn-out Vegas horns fills, pick up the geee-tar and finally ROCK THE MUTHA-FUCKER!! He hinted at this on Chaos, now it's time to step up and fully DELIVER!!
woot!

His UK TV Performances at the time were:

Nov 99
TFI Friday - Baby Knows
Top of the Pops - Baby Knows
The Apocalypse Tube (hosted by Chris Moyles and Donna Air) - Baby Knows, The Greatest Romance (I believe this one was lip-synched)

It was around this time that Robbie Williams' crew fell out with Prince's, so the story goes. Apparently Prince demanded several dressing rooms on TOTP, leaving Robbie (who was #1 in the charts) with just one. When they both played the Tube, Robbie's crew went around wearing T-shirts saying something along the lines of 'The Artist Formerly Known as Twat'.

Feb 00
TFI Friday - Prettyman (recorded in Nov 99, same show as Baby Knows), screened to coincide with the release of the single

Single The Greatest Romance was released Feb 14 00, hitting #65, 1 week in the chart
On the pre-release airplay chart it spent 2 weeks at #9

Rave album was released in Nov 99, made ineligible for the charts by giveaway at a London record store

ManOWar was planned for release and promo copies were printed, but Prince lost interest in the project
