• Is there a fee I need to pay to be able to join the event?

No, you just need to pre-order/buy the album! Keep your receipt as it will serve as your entrance to the venue!

• How many can enter the venue for each purchased ARTPOP album?

1 album = 1 person. Each fan aged 12 years old and below can be accompanied by one legal guardian aged 18 and above.

• Are there freebies for this album?

Only those who pre-ordered ARTPOP AND WILL BE ATTENDING THE EVENT will get the APPLAUSE CD SINGLE for free! Note that the Applause CD single is NOT for sale so don't miss this chance!

• Can I buy the album on the day of the launch?

Yes, definitely!

• What if I don't pre-order? Can I still buy after the pre-ordering period?

At Astro branches, of course! Again, please note that only those who pre-ordered ARTPOP AND WILL BE ATTENDING THE EVENT will get the APPLAUSE CD SINGLE for free!

• Is the album limited?

Yes and if you want it to turn PLATINUM in the Philippines ASAP, you'll want to pre-order/buy it on the day of the release at Astro!

• What if the Astro branch nearest me won't take pre-orders?

There are selected branches (see list above) that accept pre-orders until the 17th but absolutely ALL Astroplus/Astrovision branches will sell the album. If they don't, please report the branch to us ASAP. See our list of branches here: http://on.fb.me/ZWj7IR

• Why is the album going to be released at the last week of November?

There are several internal and external factors why the album is delayed in our region (not only in the Philippines). Please note that the album also comes with a DVD and local regulatory boards are also reviewing the album before it is released. The local label, MCA Music (Universal Music Philippines) is doing everything they can to make sure that the Philippine release is also the foil version which Filipino Little Monsters are asking for.

• Are you going to sell other editions of this album? When? How much?

Right now, we don't have details yet so please wait for further announcements to be posted on our Facebook page in the future!

In 1976, Olivier Toussaint wrote a piece of music for his daughter Adeline and held an audition to find the perfect person to play it. That’s when he discovered Richard Clayderman.

With 80 million records sold (that’s more than ColdplayAdeleJay ZLady Gaga and even Bob Dylan!) and one of the biggest single hits of all time (Ballade Pour Adeline with 22 million sales – even more than It’s Now or Never by Elvis Presley!), Richard is officially the world’s best-selling pianist. Dubbed “The Prince of Romance” by Nancy Reagan, he’s back with a new album Romantique --- a gorgeous collection of everyone’s favourite hits brought to you by the most popular pianist in the world.



More about Richard Clayderman ...


PhilippePagès' name was changed to Richard Clayderman (he adopted his great-grandmother's last name to avoid mispronunciation of his real name outside France), and the single took off, selling an astonishing 22 million copies in 38 countries. It was called "Ballade pourAdeline".
"When I signed him", says Olivier Toussaint, "I told him that if we sell 10,000 singles it will be marvelous  because it was disco at that time and we could not bet on such a ballad being a winner..... We could not imagine that it would be so big".


Watch Ballade Pour Adeline's music video below:


Prolific Artist

It was the start of what has become an outstanding success story, and since that time, Richard Clayderman's distinctive piano style has earned him superstar status all over the world. Today he has recorded over 1, 200 melodies and, in the words of a German journalist, "he has arguably done more to popularise the piano around the world than anyone since Beethoven". 

Richard Clayderman has created a "New Romantic" style through a repertoire which combines his 'trademark' originals with classics and pop standards. He has clocked up massive worldwide record sales of approximately 90 million, at the last count, and an incredible 267 Gold and 70 Platinum discs to his credit.

However, "The Prince of Romance" (as he was dubbed by Nancy Reagan) is not simply a recording artist. In fact, despite his natural shyness and reserve, he is completely in his element on stage ; a Richard Clayderman concert is a real 'Spectacular'.




World Tours

"I love performing live on stage", he says, "because I have direct contact with my audience. In concert, with my 10 musicians or a symphony orchestra, I like to mix different tempos, rhythms and styles to evoke all kinds of emotion".
Clayderman's international success has resulted in a punishing itinerary which, in the past, has seen him play as many as 200 concerts in just 250 days spent outside France. In spite of this, he remains very much a family man.





Family

Richard Clayderman likes to spend as much time as he can with his wife Typhaine.  Married in May 2010, the wedding was kept a total secret from everyone – except their dog, Cookie. “Richard and I did not wish a large, traditional wedding”, explains Typhaine. “We just wanted the wedding to be the two of us”. “The day could not have more wonderful.  When we left City Hall with our rings on our fingers, the sun was shining and the birds were singing – it was the happiest day of our lives!”
The biggest price Richard Clayderman feels he has to pay for his international stardom is the time he spends away from his family - a sacrifice he acknowledges they all suffer but accept as part of his duty to his millions of fans.  "My family is extremely important to me", he often says, "they are what keep me going - my reason for living, apart from my music, of course".
