Im actually looking forward to this, really looking forward to see what direction he has gone(sound wise)

I'm more excited about what Gary is doing in the US re TT but if I like the lead single Ill download the album

Love the album title.

Mark and robbie have a knack for clever titles, hope the new TT one is a bit edgy too

Ya a good edgy title would be good, then again i have liked all the album names so far from take that, although i dont really get the meaning of nobody else title, all the others i can see the reason behind the title,

Good conversation and has left me bewildered to a certain degree, Nobody else, does anyone know what the title was about, i had never even thought of this before.

My thought that just hit was, robbie left and nobody else could replace him, was that it i wonder?

That cant be it, Robbie was part of the recording of the album.

4 Minute Warning :wub: remembered hearing that in the car to the Isle of Wight ten years back. The only song I've heard from him tbh.

You should look up some more of his solo work as he does have some excellent tracks, and i would go as far to say better than 4 minute warning.

I would actually go so far as to say that 4 Mintue Warning is one of my least favourite tracks from the In Your Own Time album!

It is still a very catchy song but not the best on the album i would agree.

4 Minute Warning :wub: remembered hearing that in the car to the Isle of Wight ten years back. The only song I've heard from him tbh.

 

Also the only song of his that I can name. Will this new album launch him as a household name?

 

I cant ever see mark becoming a household name for his solo work, it doesn't seem it what he is aiming for but im sure he wouldn't say no it to it if it came along. I would a few more songs like child though, i did and still adore that song.

I would agree on both comments, him becoming a household name as a solo artist is highly unlikely now, he may have a slight chance if he releases a few very commercial radio friendly singles but even at that i would not be confident.

4 minute warning is his best track imo. If he gets a top 10 I'm sure he'll be happy. Can't see it selling platinum though. Probably have total sales around 150k tbh in this current climate of album sales

While your prediction would be wonderful i cant see the album selling anything more than 25,000, i would compare its chart run and sales in line with the recent performance of Kimberley Walsh's album from Girls Aloud.

Wow, do you think it'll be that low Pippa? I thought people would pick it up out of curiousity or people who are dying for a new TT record! Like all of us!!!
