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.

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 Coldplay, Adele, Jay Z, Lady 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".
