Three gets a new single digit peak here in Ireland this week climbing 4 places to number 6,these days also has reclimbed 2 places to number 10

This is great news. It would have been better if they had been top 5, but I'll take 6th place as well.

Ya top 5 would have been nice but even if it climbs no further a number 6 peak is much better than its previous number 10 peak. From their late late show interview a greatest hits looks certain to be their next release which should do well. I am hoping we will a live CD release of the three tour like we did with the circus and progress tours. Back to three, i so want lovelight as single 3 and usually a mark lead gets a ssingle release from their albums so hopefully it happens with three.

What did they say in reference to a new Greatest Hits? I figured it would be inevitable though. If it's a one disc album I imagine the following will definitely make the cut:

 

A Million Love Songs

Could It Be Magic

Pray

Relight My Fire

Everything Changes

Back For Good

Never Forget

Patience

Shine

Rule The World

Greatest Day

The Flood

These Days

 

And then it will be interesting to see which other singles appear. Would love something like Robbie's 2010 hits album though, a completely comprehensive 2-disc set with some new tracks too.

I guess any Greatest Hits album will coincide with the anniversary which for some reason they have said is 2017? I reckon it will be a two disc compilation. They have such a back catalogue that it won't be difficult for them to fill a double side album. I would imagine all of the above would be on one side and less successful one's on the other.

 

It will be interesting to see the set list for the forthcoming tour and how many songs from lll are included. I'm hoping they have a bit of confidence in it and include at least seven songs off it - although they'll probably stick with the tried and tested. I would also love to hear some of the lesser known songs off the BW album and some B sides such as Rocket Ship, but again I think that's wishful thinking.

If they did it they should just do it for the 2006 onwards songs - The Ultimate Collection is still selling and has all of their 90s classics on it.

 

Patience

Shine

Rule the world

Greatest Day

Up all Night

Said it all

Hold up a light

The flood

Kidz

Love love

These days

Get ready for it

Single 3 from III

 

I would imagine they would include new songs as well as they know many of the fans already have these songs - something like How deep is your love and Today I lost you

 

Has anyone heard anymore on potential promo lined up in January? Kingsman is released at the end of Jan and they have already filmed the music video to GRFI (although not officially announced it as the 2nd single) - wonder if theyll coincide the film release with the single promo? Can't really think of many occasions where they could perform GRFI...the Brits is the only thing that comes to mind

The Garden seems to have been adopted as a recent classic as well, perhaps that will find its way on somehow.

 

I love Today I've Lost You, shame nothing was ever done with that track besides a token GH inclusion.

My biggest regret is that Don't Say Goodbye never made it as a single. I'd love to hear it live just once and then to find it on a Greatest Hits album, but I think that's just wishful thinking on my part. I'd like for people to discover more of TT's discography than the obvious hits and singles that have been played to death by radios.

 

Am I the only one deluded enough to hope there's some promo lined up before the end of the year?

I think Gary posted on Twitter just before Christmas that they'd shot the video for Get Ready for it - my Twitter isn't working this morning for me to double check exactly what he said.

 

Also, I think it was mentioned somewhere that they're at The National TV awards on 21 January, so hopefully they'll perform their new song on there. There's nothing on the site, but I'm sure I did read something about it.

I'd forgotten about Don't Say Goodbye . That's a lovely song and would indeed have made a great single. Many TT songs are unknown outside of their core fan base and that's a shame because they have produced many fine B sides and songs which haven't been given a general release.

 

 

 

We All Fall Down, the b-side to I'd Wait For Life is my favourite TT b-side (and was 100 times better than the a-side). I know they polished it up and stuck it on the re-release of Beautiful World but I prefer the simplicity of the first version.

That's good then! Hopefully that'll be a nice bit of promo

I really enjoyed Trouble with Me - think it was Shine's b-side, and Sleepwalking is fantastic from Greatest Day - should of been on The circus itself

Sleepwalking and Trouble With Me are amongst my favorites.

I dare to say I love some of their less known songs more than the released singles.

 

 

III is holding up well. #5 in the official chart. I'm curious about the sales.

 

I don't get why These Days is only at 8 this week It's been top 6 on Itunes and Amazon all week long. Surely streaming couldn't have made that much of a difference?

It's still probably going to be about 30k which is great! The flood has 6 weeks

In the top 10, these days is on 5 at the moment.

 

Sales should be about 30k again which is great!

 

Probably because of the gift card effect. Songs like all about that bass have had multiple versions that when combined put them in the top 10, where they may be sitting outside of it as individual versions

A good position for These Days in my opinion. If sales hold up well and Get Ready For It is released in early Jan then they could have two singles in the Top 40. I thought that lll would be higher and make top 3 this week. Olly Murs album seems to be holding up very well and I think he benefitted from the TV special in the lead up to Christmas.

 

At this point sales are more important that chart position as it's unlikely they'll go back to Number 1. Interested to know their sales for this week and how close they were to the top 3. I predicted that they would struggle to reach sales of 500,000 - 600,000 but I really hope I'm proved wrong. Amazing to think that their last 3 albums all reached sales of over 2 million and this album will probably not reach any where near a million - it deserves so much more.

These Days sold 44,899 last week (total 238,619)

 

III sold 76,497 (total 379,062)

 

I had hoped for III to go over 400,000 this week, but 380,000 in 4 weeks is impressive in anyone's books.

 

Really pleased with These Days' sales. Officially Silver now and will hopefully approach 400,000 in the next few weeks judging by how well it is holding up in the top 10

These Days is still holding on well in the iTunes top 10 this week so hopefully another 25,000 sales minimum this week. I really hope the album can have a steady chart run, album sales will completely dive now the Christmas rush is over and it may get lost in the madness of new year sales, hopefully three will get a price reduction like other albums such as Sam Smith as it would help sales.

 

In my local hmv/xtra vision here in Ireland three is currently on sale at full price €12.99 while Sam Smith, Taylor Swift, Olly Murs are all €9. Ed Sheeran is also on full price like Take That but I do think a price reduction would do no harm at all.

Is it at midnight that TT's contract with Google Play expires and the album will be available for streaming on Spotify and so on? I'm hoping that will help with the chart position.

Wouldn't have a clue,sorry.,its the first I heard of it.
