Robbie Williams - The Road to Mandalay
2001
Sing When You're Winning is the third studio album by English singer-songwriter Robbie Williams, of former boyband Take That fame. When it was released on 28 August 2000, it immediately became a hit in the UK, debuting at number one and being certified 2× Platinum in the first week of release. It also topped the charts in New Zealand, Ireland and Germany, and secured top ten placings in Argentina, Austria, Australia, Finland, Mexico, Sweden, Switzerland. The album spent 91 weeks on the UK chart, going on to sell 2.4 million copies in the UK alone, being certified 8× Platinum by the BPI. It became the best-selling album of 2000 in the UK, and the 51st-best-selling album in UK music history. It found little success in the US, however, peaking at 110 in the Billboard 200.
"Eternity" / "The Road to Mandalay" is the fifth single from the album. "Eternity" does not appear on it but was later included on Williams' Greatest Hits album in 2004. Released on 9 July 2001, the double A-side was the 20th-best-selling single of 2001 in the UK, topping the country's singles chart, and also peaked at number two in Ireland.
The video for "The Road to Mandalay" shows Williams and four friends alternatively goofing around and scoping out a money transport van which they rob in Marseille. The video for "Eternity" is a sequel.
"The Road to Mandalay" received a total of 72% yes votes!

He can see, not hear, James’ chest rise and fall in a sigh of resignation before he slings his guitar case off his shoulder and squeezes it over top of the seat into the back, water dripping onto the upholstery. He folds himself into the passenger’s seat with an audible squelch and yanks the door shut behind him. The honking reaches a crescendo and Robbie puts the pedal down.
“What are you doing out walking in this?” Robbie asks, more concern and dismay creeping into his voice than he intends as he switches on the heating.
“Wasn’t raining when I started,” James replies, tone clipped. He rubs his hands together in front of the heating vent, staring straight ahead.
Robbie sighs. “Even in good weather walking along here is dangerous.”
“Is it?” James says, tetchily. Robbie spares him another glance. James runs a hand over his face and hair, shakes water off onto the floor, and sighs. “I suppose that means you saved me.” He sounds none too happy about it.
“We’re even, then.”
James lets out a huff of a breath. “If you say so.” He rubs his hands together again and presses them right up to the heating vent.
