Reality Killed The Video Star

Reality Killed the Video Star is the eighth solo studio album by the English singer-songwriter Robbie Williams, released in November 2009. The title is a reference to The Buggles' 1979 single "Video Killed the Radio Star", updating it to reflect on the impact of reality television on pop culture. The album was produced by Trevor Horn, who fronted The Buggles and wrote "Video Killed the Radio Star", and was recorded between September 2008 and August 2009 in London and Los Angeles. It debuted in the top ten of 22 national album charts worldwide, but received varying reviews from music critics. Reality Killed the Video Star was viewed by critics and fans as being Williams' "comeback album" after the relative failure of his 2006 release, Rudebox. The album was preceded by its lead single "Bodies", which was released in October 2009. Other singles released included "You Know Me" and "Morning Sun". The album was certified platinum in Europe for sales of over one million copies, including 900,000 copies sold in the UK alone.
