he had the album "Reality" released which i wanted to buy but the only copy in my local store was a special edition which was 18.99.
What you should be commenting is the non-album release of Badly Drawn Boy. Yes he did have one single from a 2002 album in 2003 but then again Robbie had 3 tracks this year and Craig David had 2 hits.
didn't he have two - born again and all possibilities?
I do see your point though bob. I can't see how an artist can be nominated for best male at the brits if they haven't released an album since the last brits. I don't think he'll win anyway though. It'll probably be Will or Dizzee Rascal...
