Well, i am not acustomed with such scala as i am not following the news on many celeb and proms, but everytime TT was in TV they said something about Howard having a girlfriend in Germany or in interviews he said something in german. Robbie is known as Robbie, Gary as a respectable songwriter, Mark , well, was Mark. Only Jason is not very well known outside the fan circle.

 

And to put it like that: while TT is here not fashionable, at least the name is very well known. Which is a big thing in music industry where every year some comes up and a lot wents down.

 

It seems the shows last only 6 weeks. Here is an article from Bild (our TheSUN): http://www.bild.de/unterhaltung/tv/take-th...94120.bild.html

Fashionable or not they still do pretty well album sales wise and their singles usually perform respectably as well so that's a bonus!

They do manage to sell in respectable numbers in Germany without having to any major promotional work for it. Phase 2 Take That heavily appear to have concentrated on the UK market mainly due to family, girlfriends etc. which they more or less made clear from the beginning. However, had they promoted and toured as extensively as they did first time round they would have had far greater European success this time.
