TT did well to even be ahead of Ed for one day really! Impressive enough sales from them.

Hard to believe a new Take That album won't hit #1, but i guess with Ed Sheeran around there's only so far you can go
 They'll easily do 100k+ anyway which is about what i'd expect from their name + mother's day boost |

QUOTE(___∆___ @ Mar 26 2017, 02:45 PM)  145,000 off the back of a #1 single so would be impressed if this one manages 6 figures seeing as 'Giants' flopped Giants didn't flop In a streaming climate for a band that has a majority of older fans that have probably never streamed before a top 15 hit is commendable ─ and it's become a well known track.

It is what impact the song has and how far it reaches that determines its success. Take Robbie's Love my life, it peaked at 22 but I'd say it was a hit for him. It is pretty well known, did well on paid for sales and had some longevity. I think it will easily become a tour staple for him and be a well known hit for him. |

Has Giants really become a 'well known' track though? Unlike the Robbie single it had no longevity in the top half of the sales chart and only charted so high from fan base buys.
When name a Take That single becomes a question in Pointless in a few years I imagine Giants will have a very low score. |

I was surprised TT managed 67k in first day but there will be a lot of preorders and most of their fan base will probably buy the CD. Streaming will cost them unfortunately but I hope they can break 100k which would be a good achievement given Luke warm success of Giants.

It is really great to see the album chart so healthy this year thus far.

Oh I don't know how Giants will play out in the long run, just the term flop cant just be thrown about these days for anything that doesn't make top 10 or after a week or 2 of release. Especially when half the chart can be made up of album tracks from huge albums causing low peaks now. |

Yes I'm sure there will be Articles in the press when Q1 is over highlighting an increase in Album Sales in 2017 and declaring the Album format is back on the rise. The reality is just the Release schedule has been especially healthy so far this year. |

Take That look to open on good sales the question is whether its good enough to hold number 1 or not now. Get out signing boys and get the number1!

I think we have the answer all ready! Btw I know TT have different formats in the Amazon Best Sellers but despite all the Promotion they have managed so far the highest selling Format ( the Deluxe edition) is behind Vera Lynn (and Rag 'N' Bone Man & Ed). |

QUOTE(timjimlee @ Mar 26 2017, 02:25 PM) Yes, that was my thought as well, Kasabian releasing in Ed's ninth week of Release should get enough Sales to secure top spot although there could be a Harry Styles release before I guess. Not sure if there will be album wise but he may well knock Ed off the top of the singles charts, new single coming I'm guessing around april 7th |

Especially when half the chart can be made up of album tracks from huge albums causing low peaks now. Agreed. There are plenty of acts with much younger fan bases that stream a lot and they have singles that struggle to breakthrough for weeks and weeks. Take That will need decent promo keep "Giants" hanging around but it's had a nice boost since the album was released anyway. |

Eh... look at Rick Astley - he had one single chart within the top 200, yet his album is about to go Platinum.
I think people need to accept that the days that "older" acts having hit singles are mostly gone. It'll depend on how the album does in Take That's case to see if they've made any impact beyond their fanbase. |

Mostly maybe but Sia is 41 and Train are all in their 40s, lead singer is 48 so there are certainly exceptions to the rule This post has been edited by girl_from_oz: 27th March 2017, 11:51 AM |

There are many examples of artists under 30 with young fanbases struggling to achieve high peaks in the chart too. |

Take That are on an impressive 95k as of today, so their timing really kinda sucks.
