Robbie Williams has broken the world record for the highest number of gig tickets shifted in the space of a day. The singer reportedly sold 1.6million tickets for next year's world tour within a day of going on sale last weekend, raising around £80million. Crikey. Williams will appear in the next edition of the Guiness book, beating previous incumbents, NSYNC, who sold a million tickets for their 'No Strings Attached' tour in a day five years ago. The tour agent says: "It was simply astonishing. We expected a huge demand but they sold even more than we anticipated."
