Rufus Wainwright

Awesome, Rufus is finally cashing in on his talents, never enough thiugh

When I went in on Sunday, Release the Stars was in the No 1 Slot in the chart bit!!!!

well done rufus!this is long overdue for all your years of grafting.recognition at last.you should be very proud,as we are, and continue to be in awe of your musical genius. WE ALL LOVE YOUxxxxxx

Way to go Rufus!

Rufus, I hope you are proud of what you have achieved here in the UK, its been long over due for you to get the recognition you deserve. Well done! We are so proud of you...you are sensational!. we need you even more now in the UK !!!

Although you should have been number one :-) Still, a brilliant achievement!

I am listening to the album now. It has to be the best one Rufus has ever made. Maybe a little push and it could be No. 1. It certainly deserves to be! Absolutely beautiful! Diana.

Archambault Music Store is the most important music store (with HMV) throughout the province of Quebec - and ROO is No 1 as of today, 11:30 AM, before Timberlake, Furtado, Winehouse, etc. As our boy deserves it so much, IT WAS ABOUT TIME ! Bravo Rufus. Mimi

Congratulations Rufus! You've put in years of hard work and you really deserve this success. At last people are waking up to what music is! I hope you're able to savour this success . . . you deserve it! I'm looking forward to seeing you at the Colston Hall. Love you! XxX

too bad the States hasn't caught on to your brilliance :(

That should prick up some ears! Well done, Rufus - you deserve this success. *smile*

A big congratulations Rufus. All the hard work is paying off, and well deserved too. I eagerly await Sundays show at the Old Vic!

At last all your hard work is beginning to pay off and you are getting the recognition that you deserve ! About time!

You, promoters, help this artist be the Number One he deserves in all Europe. I'm glad now his mother -'who still whispers in my ear that I'm GREAT'- will be able to see her beloved son in a N0 1. Congratulations to both Rufus and Mom.

Congratulations! A brilliant chart position for a brilliant album. :-D

Congratulations, you are wondrful and brilliant, and it's great to know that more and more people are seeing how talented you are. Thanks for sharing your gifts with us, and here's to hoping the U.S. will come to its senses and discover what a true musical gem you are. Lots of love in Ohio

congratz! <'33 'Release The Stars' is AMAZING!!!

...for sharing your genius with us. Keep bringing it on!

“I'm your knight in shining armor. I'm here to save you from Linkin Park.” - Rufus lol...I love how this quote has really come back to haunt him after all these years!

COngratulations. Come visit Slovakia :-)

Congrats MCT and Rufus! You deserve a high chart debut!

why not in Poland?

Congratulations again, Rufus! I wish you the same success in Spain. Olé!

That's my boy!

We all know that Number 2 in the Uk means , really, better than number 1- there is a long tradition of terribly bland Number 1's here and absolute masterpieces as number 2's- You have made a mind-blowing album- Thank you ps: I am gutted I couldn't get tickets for the Old Vic- come back soon!

Congrats Rufus. Well deserved. RST is in at #8 on the european album charts.

The album was SO worth the wait, as was the concert at the Old Vic on 27th - I'm going again tomorrow - can't get enough of you! Congratz xx

I am also a huge fan of Freddy Mercury but I have never felt about music in the same way that Rufus has introduced it to me. Once hearing Want Two, that was it, I was hooked. I have a need to hear at least one track a day (but end up listening to the whole of Rufus!) and am lucky enough to have a half hour walk, to and from work. I just can't at the moment stop listening to Release The Stars on my mp3 as not only do I find Rufus inspirational but his orchestral work in these tracks are just fabulous. I'd best sign off now, as I can go on forever talking about Rufus!

How do you do it yet again Rufus????.........another die hard Freddie fan,but since seeing you on Jools Holland hearing "Crumb by Crumb"........boy it blows you away...........release the stars....is just a drug......I'm hooked..........none of it should work,but it does.................Well Done Rufus..for blowing our minds once again.You just get better and better.

I'm so proud of you guys! ALL of you! Rufus, Paula, Jeff, Louis, and everyone else involved on the record. It's truly an artistic accomplishment to be proud of, and I wish you all of the success and happiness in the world! Thank you again for the brilliant show you put on here in SF, California. You're an absolute genius! :)
