June 5, 201411 yr Author Take That & Solo Singles Rate Results 50-46 http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/2/23/Believeintheboogiemarkowen.jpg/220px-Believeintheboogiemarkowen.jpg 50. Mark Owen - Believe In The Boogie = Avg:4.428  First up and kicking off this countdown at #50, is Mark Owen's single "Believe In The Boogie" scoring a poor 4.428 on this rate. Released in August 2005 as the second single from his third solo album "How The Mighty Fall", and didn't quite set the charts alight by peaking at #57 in the UK charts, becoming his first solo single to miss the UK Top 40, while released Independantly over here, worldwide it was released on the Edel Records label, and made a small dent on the German charts at #78. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/1/16/Once_You've_Tasted_Love_(Take_That_single_-_cover_art).jpg/220px-Once_You've_Tasted_Love_(Take_That_single_-_cover_art).jpg 49. Take That - Once You've Tasted Love = Avg:5.428 At #49 we have a Take That single drop out, one the band's early releases before they hit the big time. Released in February 1992 where it became the 3rd single taken from they're debut album "Take That & Party" and failed to crack the Top 40 charting at #47 and this would be the last Take That flop single as they faired better with they're follow up singles. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/e/e9/Markowenmakin'out.jpg/220px-Markowenmakin'out.jpg 48. Mark Owen - Makin' Out = Avg: 5.571 At #48 is another Mark Owen single to drop out of the chart, and again like #50 is also another single taken from his third solo album "How The Mighty Fall", this time being the lead single, and again not scoring very high scores on this rate, which brought this down to a just 5.571 score. Released in June 2004 and charted at #30 in the UK charts becoming his final UK top 40 hit to date. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/5/5d/Take_that_promises_cd_single_cover.jpg/220px-Take_that_promises_cd_single_cover.jpg 47. Take That - Promises = Avg:5.571 At #47 is another early pre fame Take That single and despite getting the same average as Mark Owen's "Makin' Out", I put this higher due to this track getting slightly higher scores. Released in November 1991 and it was the band's second single and became they're first UK top 40 hit peaking at #38 and again taken from the band's first album "Take That & Party and written by band member Gary Barlow and Graham Stack. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/c/c1/I'd_Wait_for_Life_(Take_That_single_-_cover_art).jpg/220px-I'd_Wait_for_Life_(Take_That_single_-_cover_art).jpg 46. Take That - I'd Wait For Life = Avg: 5.714 At #46 is "I'd Wait For Life" by Take That. The third single taken from the band's 4th studio album "Beautiful World" in June 2007 and became they're first single in 15 years to miss the UK top 10, peaking at a mere #17 and slipped out the top 40 the following week and also ending they're winning steak of 6 #1's and therefore becoming one of they're least successful singles. It didn't chart in the top 10 anywhere else worldwide either peaking highest in Italy at #13 and cracking the top 40 in Ireland at #32, again ending they're run of top 10 hits since 1992 over there as well. On this rate this track scored quite poorly compared to the album's over singles, apart from one 9 and one 8.   46. Take That - I’d Wait For Life 5.714 47. Take That - Promises 5.571 48. Mark Owen – Makin’ Out 5.571 49. Take That - Once You’ve Tasted Love 5.428 50. Mark Owen – Believe In The Boogie 4.428      Â

Take That - Sure = Avg: 5.78 At #45 is Sure which became the group's 5th UK #1 single in October 1994 and also they're first chart topper to drop out of this rate. Released as the lead single from they're 3rd album "Nobody Else" and marked a change in sound for the group going for a more American R&B sound which polarized their fan base and despite topping the charts it had a pretty quick down fall after that. Worldwide this single hit #3 in Denmark and Ireland as well as top ten positions in Finland, Italy and Belgium. Along with top 20 peaks in Japan, Netherlands and Spain and top 40 peaks in Germany, Swiss, Sweden and Australia. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/2/2b/Iamwhatiammarkowen.jpg/220px-Iamwhatiammarkowen.jpg 44. Mark Owen - I Am What I Am = Avg: 5.785 At #44 is another Mark Owen single to drop out, making this his third one out and also his 3rd single released from his debut album "Green Man" in August 1997 and unlike his previous two singles which hit the top 3, this single only managed a #29 peak in the UK charts and led to him being dropped from RCA records and he wouldn't release another single until 2003. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/4/4e/Take-That-I-Found-Heaven.jpg/220px-Take-That-I-Found-Heaven.jpg 43. Take That - Found Heaven = Avg: 5.928 At #43 is Take That's "I Found Heaven" taken from the group's debut album "Take That & Party" as the 5th single and became they're second UK top 20 hit reaching #15 in August 1992. This was also the first single to feature both Gary Barlow and Robbie Williams on lead vocals and it is much hated by Gary himself stating it as the worst song he has ever recorded. Worldwide this single found success in Japan by reaching #5 and managed a peak of #56 in Germany. On this rate this track scored mainly mixed to muddling votes ranging from 4 and getting no higher than a 8. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/0/08/Alone_Without_You_Single_Cover.jpg 42. Mark Owen - Alone Without You = Avg: 6.142 At #42 is yet another Mark Owen single. Released in October 2003 and taken from his second album "In Your Own Time" as the second and final single and despite making a successful comeback with "Four Minute Warning" a few months prior and signing a new record deal, this single failed to match the success by peaking at #26 and due to poor album sales he was dropped from his second record label Island Records, his further material was released Independently. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/9/96/Take-That-Do-What-U-Like.jpg/220px-Take-That-Do-What-U-Like.jpg 41. Do What U Like = Avg: 6.5 Just missing the top 40 at #41 is Take That's debut single "Do What U Like" the one with the infamous jelly and leather video. The single peaked at a mere #82 in July 1991 and has never been performed on any of the band's tours to date and is seen as a cringeworthy time of they're lives and again it was the only single left off they're Never Forget Greatest Hits Collection.Â
June 5, 201411 yr Author 40-35 http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/5/56/Take_that_why_can't_i_wake_up_7_inch.jpg/217px-Take_that_why_can't_i_wake_up_7_inch.jpg 40. Take That - Why Can't I Wake Up With You = Avg: 6.714 Now kicking off the Top 40 is Take That's "Why Can't I Wake Up With You" released as the lead single from they're second album "Everything Changes" . This single originally appeared on they're first album but however Gary Barlow re wrote the song with a higher tempo and changed lyrics. Released in February 1993 and peaked at #2 as well as charting in the top 10 in Ireland at #7, and #18 peak in Belgium, and became they're second track to chart in Germany at #68. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/4/44/Gary-Barlow-Stronger-138913.jpg/220px-Gary-Barlow-Stronger-138913.jpg 39. Gary Barlow - Stronger = Avg: 7 At #39 is Gary Barlow's "Stronger" and it is also the first single from him to drop out of this rate. Released in July 1999 after a 2 year break this was Gary's comeback single taken from his second album "Twelve Months and Eleven Days", which marked a immediate change in Gary's sound as it moved towards a more dance type sound and this move didn't prove very popular and Gary Barlow himself didn't want the single released and plus at the time he was having a very rough time from the press, the single stalled at #16 in the UK charts and the album fared even worse and many believed that the album track "Lie To Me" should have been released instead, but at the time giving the rough and totally unfair treatment he was getting from the press, It was said in his documentry that if there was a hit on the album, then it wouldn't have succeeded. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/4/48/Take-That-Babe.jpg/213px-Take-That-Babe.jpg 38. Take That - Babe = Avg: 7.071 At #38 is Take That's "Babe" released as the 4th single from they're second album "Everything Changes" in December 1993 and became they're 3rd #1 single in a row, famously knocking off the awful Mr Blobby single, but was knocked back the following week and featured Mark Owen on lead vocals. The track became a hit worldwide by topping the Ireland and Jaoan charts and reaching top 10 in Netherlands, Sweden, Finland, Germany, Swiss, Belgium and Norway as well as top 20 peak in Austria and top 30 in Italy. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/6/6a/Take_that_how_deep_is_your_love_CD1.jpg/220px-Take_that_how_deep_is_your_love_CD1.jpg 37. Take That - How Deep Is Your Love = Avg: 7.214 At #37 is Take That's final pre comeback single "How Deep Is Your Love" originally sung by The Bee Gees in 1977 and became a #3 hit for them, but Take That took the single to #1 for three weeks, released as the lead single from they're "Greatest Hits" album and was the group's last single for 10 years and became a massive Platinum seller and sung lead vocals by Gary Barlow who truly does this justice, I even favour this over the original and became a beautiful send off for the group and to be honest I thought that this would have had higher rates but it didn't I was the only one who rated this a 10. This track became another worldwide smash for the boys topping the charts in Denmark, Ireland, Italy and Spain, and top 10 positions in Finland, Japan, Belgium, Chile, Swiss, Norway, Austria, Germany, Netherlands and Sweden, as well as a #12 peak in Australia they're final top 20 hit over there to date and even managed to become one of they're few singles to chart in Canada at #80.  http://rnbxclusive.se/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Mark-Owen-stars.jpg 36. Mark Owen - Stars = Avg: 7.428 At #36 is Mark Owen's "Stars" making this his fifth single to drop out of this rate. This was Mark Owen's first single released in 8 years and first taken from his 4th album "The Art Of Doing Nothing" and failed to make a dent on the UK charts, but his album managed a top 40 peak at #29 his highest charting studio album to date and his first album to chart in Ireland at #67 and top 40 peaks in Italy and Scotland. On this rate this track did quite well gaining two 10's.  36. Mark Owen – Stars 7.428 37. Take That - How Deep Is Your Love 7.214 38. Take That - Babe 7.071 39. Gary Barlow – Stronger 7 40.

Take That - When We Were Young = Avg: 7.428 At #35 is Take That's most recent single to date, taken from the special edition version of they're 6th album "Progress/Progressed" released as a digital single in July 2011 and charted at #88 in the UK without promotion or a physical release, but this track was featured on the Three Musketeers soundtrack and features Gary Barlow and Robbie Williams on lead vocals. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/7/79/HappyNowTakeThat.JPG/220px-HappyNowTakeThat.JPG 34. Take That - Happy Now = Avg: 7.571 At #34 is "Happy Now" the third single taken from Take That's 6th album "Progress" and was used to mainly promote they're Comic Relief sketch "Fake That". The track was only released digitally where it charted at #52 becoming they're first single since 1992 to miss the UK top 40. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/b/b8/Child_Single_Cover.jpg/220px-Child_Single_Cover.jpg 33. Mark Owen - Child = Avg: 7.571 At #33 is Mark Owen's debut solo single "Child" and became his most successful solo release peaking at #3 in the UK charts in November 1996, his debut solo album "Green Man" was released shortly after and didn't fare quite so successfully peaking at #33 but sold 200,000 copies and earning a Gold disc. The single was successful worldwide as well topping the charts in Spain and Taiwan and hitting top 10 Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Swiss and Ireland and top 20 peaks in Finland, Germany, Italy and Japan and top 40 peaks in Netherlands, Sweden and Australia. On this rate despite scoring the same as Take That's "HN" I placed this higher due to this getting two 11's.  http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/b/b3/Ttkidzpromo.jpg/220px-Ttkidzpromo.jpg 32. Take That - Kidz = Avg: 7.714 At #32 is another "Progress" track "Kidz" released as the second single following the mammoth success of the Robbie Williams comeback single "The Flood" and following the same formula as with the previous 2 albums Gary on lead for 1st and Mark taking lead on 2nd single, but this failed to match the success and despite a performance of this track on the 2011 Brit Awards, it only managed a #28 peak on the UK charts, missing the top 20 for the first time since 1992. But this faired better on some worldwide charts reaching top 10 in Hungary and Croatia and top 20 peaks in Denmark, Indonesia and Germany and top 40 peaks in Belgium and Italy, but missed the top 40 in Ireland and Austria. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/9/94/Take_That_reach_Out.jpg/220px-Take_That_reach_Out.jpg 31. Take That - Reach Out = Avg: 7.714 At #31 is Take That's "Reach Out" taken from the group's comeback 4th album "Beautiful World". This track was released outside the UK in favour of "Rule The World" as the 4th single from the album and faired quite well reaching top 20 in Italy and Denmark, as well as charting in Austria and Germany, and even managed to make a small dent on the Europe Top 100. Â

Take That - Could It Be Magic = Avg: 7.714 At #30 by the skin of it's teeth is Take That's "Could It Be Magic", originally sung by Donna Summer in 1976 where it peaked at #40, but Take That took it much much higher reaching #3 in November 1992 and becoming the group's first UK top 5 single and even won a Brit Award for Best British Single in 1993, quite a feat for a cover version. The track became a success in Ireland also peaking at #3 over there and top 10 peak in Belgium as well as becoming their first top 40 hit in Germany and becoming their first single to crack both the Australian and Swedish charts at #30. This single was also featured on the group's debut album "Take That & Party" and released as the 7th and most successful single and pushed the album to sell a million copies in the UK and stayed on the album charts for 73 weeks and reached a peak of #2. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/4/40/Shame_(single).jpg/220px-Shame_(single).jpg 29. Gary Barlow (Ft Robbie Williams) - Shame = Avg: 7.833 At #29 is Gary Barlow's second single to drop out of this rate and 6th UK single in total. This marks Gary Barlow's first solo release in 11 years and the first time since 1995 that he's sung with Robbie Williams since he quit the band in 1995. Released in October 2010 as the lead single from Robbie's 2nd Greatest Hits album titled "In And Out of Consciousness: Greatest Hits 1990-2010" and became a hit for both artists reaching #2 in the UK charts becoming Gary's highest charting solo single in 14 years and the track became a success worldwide topping the Euro top 100, as well as Hungary and reaching top 10 in Scotland, Netherlands, Italy, Ireland, Denmark and Isreal as well as top 20 peaks in Germany, Belgium, Swiss and Austria, along with top 40 peaks in Sweden, Spain and Czech Republic and becoming Gary's first single 1997 to chart in Australia at #62. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/5/5e/Gary-Barlow-Love-Wont-Wait-.jpg/220px-Gary-Barlow-Love-Wont-Wait-.jpg 28. Gary Barlow - Love Won't Wait = Avg: 7.833 At #28 is another Gary Barlow single in a row to drop out. "Love Won't Wait" was Gary's second solo release in April 1997 and became his 2nd UK #1 in a row, taken from his debut album "Open Road" which also topped the charts, getting his solo career off to a flying start. This track was originally written and recorded by Madonna for her 1994 album "Bedtime Stories" but she decided not to include it and was therefore given to Gary Barlow for his first album. "Love Won't Wait" also topped the charts in Lativa and Spain as well as top 5 positions in Taiwan, Japan, Ireland, Italy and top 10 in Denmark, and top 20 peaks in Australia, Austria and Finland, top 40 peaks in Netherlands, Swiss and Germany. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/b/b9/The_garden_single_cover.jpg/220px-The_garden_single_cover.jpg 27. Take That - The Garden = Avg: 7.928 At #27 is Take That's "The Garden" taken from the group's 5th studio album "The Circus" and released as the 3rd International single in March 2009 and became a top 10 success in Denmark reaching #8 and well as a #20 peak in Germany and a top 40 peak in Swiss at #36 and making a minor impact in Austria and Netherlands, this track even managed to chart in the UK due to downloads when the album was released making a small dent on the top 100 at #97. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/b/b1/It_Only_Takes_a_Minute.jpeg/220px-It_Only_Takes_a_Minute.jpeg 26. Take That - It Only Takes A Minute = Avg: 8 At #26 is Take That's breakthrough single "It Only Takes A Minute" originally sung by The Tavares in 1975. Released in June 1992 and was the 4th single taken from they're debut album "Take That & Party" and reached #7 in the UK charts after three low charting singles, this really turned things around for the group by becoming their first top 10 hit and it also became their first single to chart in Ireland at #11 and even manged a #2 peak in Japan and the boys haven't looked back since.    26.

June 6, 201411 yr Shame!!! that shame did not do better,but i am not surprised. It Only Takes a Minute did so much for their career, it saved them i would believe from being dropped and i still like the track, a top 20 position would have been nice for it in this.
June 6, 201411 yr Author 25-21 http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/5/56/Take_that_everything_changes_UK_CD1.jpg/220px-Take_that_everything_changes_UK_CD1.jpg 25. Take That - Everything Changes = Avg: 8.071 At #25 is Take That's "Everything Changes" the title track from their second album. Released as the albums 5th single and became another #1, they're fourth in a row in March 1994 for 2 weeks, written by Gary Barlow along with Robbie Williams on lead vocals. Honestly this is actually one of faves from them and thought that this would have been higher than #25 on this rate, but oh well. "Everything Changes" became another worldwide hit for them as well hitting #2 in both Ireland and Denmark and top 10 positions in Japan, Netherlands and Belgium as well as top 20 in Finland and Germany, top 30 in Swiss and Austria, but didn't match the top 40 success's of previous singles in Australia peaking outside the top 50 at #58. On this rate this track scored two 10's and a couple of average scores of 6's and 7's. An interesting fact that the music video was based on Kylie's "Give Me Just A Little More Time" and shot in the same monotone as well. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/e/e8/Clementinemarkowen.jpg/220px-Clementinemarkowen.jpg 24. Mark Owen - Clementine = Avg :8.142 At #24 is Mark Owen's - Clementine his second solo single and his seventh single to drop out of this countdown, which means that there is just one song left. "Clementine" was released in February 1997 and hit #3 on the UK charts, matching the peak of previous single "Child" but it had a quicker decline on the charts, lasting only one week in the top 10. But worldwide it didn't quite manage to match the success of his previous hit, apart from Ireland where it hit #10 matching "Child" over there as well, and #2 peaks in Japan and Spain and top 10/20 peaks in Belgium, Italy and Taiwan. On this rate it did quite well gaining mainly high scores of 8's and 9's and only one average score of 6. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/2/21/Gary-Barlow-For-All-That-You-1403011.jpg/220px-Gary-Barlow-For-All-That-You-1403011.jpg 23. Gary Barlow - For All That You Want = Avg: 8.166 At #23 is Gary Barlow single "For All That You Want" released in September 1999 and taken as the second and final single from his 2nd album "Twelve Months And Eleven Days"and followed in the downward trend from the previous single "Stronger" and peaked at #24 in the UK charts and the album fared even worse when released in October and limped at #35 which led to him being dropped by Sony BMG and the next intended single "Lie To Me" was cancelled. "For All That You Want" was actually first recorded in 1997 and released in the U.S.A. under the title "Superhero" in an attempt to crack the American market but it failed only managing #106 over there and Gary re done the track and included it on his second album. Worldwide the track didn't find much success apart from a #6 peak in Finland and failed to chart in Ireland, like his previous single and limped at #94 in Germany. http://cdn03.cdn.pinkisthenewblog.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/051912_barlowsingart.jpg 22. Gary Barlow - Sing = Avg: 8.214 At #22 is another Gary Barlow single to drop out of this countdown, making this his fifth out so far leaving 6 left. "Sing" was released in May 2012 and co written by Andrew Lloyd Webber and features a number of artists from across the Commanwealth to commemorate the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II. The track reached #1 in the UK charts giving Gary his 3rd solo #1 hit and first since 1997 and the companion album also titled "Sing" also topped the charts and therefore kick starting his solo career again and paving the way for his next solo album which was released a year later. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/0/07/UpAllNight.jpg/220px-UpAllNight.jpg 21. Take That - Up All Night = Avg: 8.642 At #21 and just outside the top 20 by a smidge is Take That's "Up All Night" released in March 2009 and was the 2nd single taken from they're 5th album "The Circus". The track was given a UK and Ireland release only and became the band's 20th top 20 hit and reached #14 in both the UK and Ireland charts, with lead vocals sung by Mark Owen and the track topped the UK airplay chart. On this rate it did very well gaining three 10's and 7's and 8's rest of the way.    Â

Take That - Said It All = Avg: 8.642 Now kicking off the top 20 is Take That's "Said It All" and despite scoring the same as "UPN" due to this gaining one higher rate. Released in June 2009 and taken as the 4th and final single and reached #9 on the UK charts, becoming the band's 18th top 10 hit and written by all the members. This track was given a UK and Ireland only release and charted at #17 in Ireland and topped the UK airplay chart and even managed to chart on the Europe Top 100 at #33. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/0/02/So_help.jpg/220px-So_help.jpg 19. Gary Barlow - So Help Me Girl = Avg: 8.75 At #19 is Gary Barlow's "So Help Me Girl" making this the 6th single from him to drop out of this countdown. Released in July 1997 and was the third single taken from Gary's debut solo album "Open Road". The single managed a peak of #11 on the UK singles chart which paled in comparison compared to his previous 2 releases which both topped the chart, but it became a moderate success across the world hitting top 10 in Taiwan and Japan and top 20 position in Ireland and top 40 in Australia. The track was even given a USA release as his first single over there and peaked at #44 but fared better on the US Billboard Adult Contempary charts at #3, becoming his first and only single to date to chart on the US Top 100. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/c/c0/Takethatloveainthereanymore.jpg/220px-Takethatloveainthereanymore.jpg 18. Take That - Love Ain't Here Anymore = Avg: 8.857 At #18 is Take That's "Love Ain't Here Anymore" released as the 6th and final single from they're second album "Everything Changes" in May 1994 and peaked at #3 on the UK charts ending they're run of #1 singles, failing to overtake the mammoth Wet Wet Wet single "Love Is All Around" which was #1 for 60000 years (or seemed like it) and All 4 One's "I Swear" which was at #2 for several weeks. But the track still became a big seller, selling over 200,000 copies in the UK and earned a Silver disc matching the status of the album's previous singles. Worldwide it charted highest in Denmark and Spain peaking at #2 in those countries and top 10 in Ireland, Japan and Finland and top 40 peaks in Belgium, Netherlands, Australia and Germany. The track was even remixed for the American market but failed to make a dent on any of the charts over there. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/9/94/Takethatlovelove.jpg/220px-Takethatlovelove.jpg 17. Take That - Love Love = Avg: 8.928 At #17 is Take That's "Love, Love" which is another quite recent Take That single, released in May 2011 and was taken as a single from the digital EP version of Take That's 6th studio album "Progressed". The track was also used as the official single for the X-Men First Class movie, making this the second time they have done so since reforming, and managed a #15 peak in the UK based on digital downloads only and charted highest in Hong Kong with a '#3 peak and top 20 in Scotland and Croatia and top 40 peaks in Ireland and Italy.  http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/1/11/Take_that_back_for_good_US_cover.jpg/220px-Take_that_back_for_good_US_cover.jpg 16. Take That - Back For Good = Avg: 9 At #16 is Take That's "Back For Good" and now this is a surprise I honestly thought that this would have been top 5 at least but Buzzjack have voted, and given the fact that this is they're biggest selling UK single with over a Million copies sold and was the last single to feature Robbie Williams as he left the group but did return 15 years later. Released in March 1995 and was taken as the 2nd single from Take That's third studio album "Nobody Else". The track was first performed at the 1995 Brit Awards and had such a massive demand that the single was brought forward 6 weeks early and went straight in at #1 on the UK charts for 4 weeks and even won a Brit Award for Best British Single in 1996. "Back For Good" was also a massive success worldwide topping the charts in Australia, Canada, Denmark, Germany, Ireland, Norway, Spain and 31 countries in total. #2 in Belgium, Finland, Italy, Netherlands, Sweden and Swiss and top 5 in Austria and Japan, top 10 in New Zealand and France. It even managed a top 10 peak on the USA charts at #7 they're first and to date only song to chart over there. But becoming the first ever British boyband to manage a top 10 hit over there throughout the 1990's. "Back For Good" has been considered one of Take That's signature's hits and even Robbie Williams recorded a solo version as a b-side to his hit "Angels" in 1997. Even the music video became Iconic as another boyband The Wanted paid homage to it in they're music video "Walks Like Rihanna" in 2012.   16. Take That - Back For Good 9 17.

June 6, 201411 yr Nice results so far.."Makin' Out" deserved to be much higher in this rate. It's not so bad for this average score. "Sure" is the worst song of this rate. "Believe In The Boogie" and "Once You’ve Tasted Love" are not the best effort though. 'When We Were Young", "Kids" and "Reach Out" should be in the Top 30. I thought that "Back for Good would be in the Top 5..
June 7, 201411 yr up all night is excellent i still love it,it has such a feel good vibe to it,it deserved higher.
June 8, 201411 yr Author 15-11 http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/a/ae/GBLetMeGo.jpg/220px-GBLetMeGo.jpg 15. Gary Barlow - Let Me Go = Avg: 9 At #15 is Gary Barlow comeback single "Let Me Go" released in November 2013 as the lead single from his fourth solo album "Since I Saw You Last" and became a massive success hitting #2 in the UK charts becoming his 6th top 10 solo hit and the album matched the single's peak by also peaking at #2. Gary wrote this track while he was on his concert tour in 2012 which sold out in minutes and as soon as he started recording his album he knew that this track would be the lead single. Gary revealed in his documentry that it was written about the loss of his stillborn daughter and he has stated that this song keeps her memory alive and is a celebration and he stated that Johnny Cash inspired the guitar folk nature of this track. The track also went top 10 in Ireland his first solo not duet or group in 16 years and top 40 peaks in Austria and Germany, his first in those countries as well for a number of years, I am happy to say that his comeback success was well and truly deserved.  http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/8/82/Since_I_Saw_You_Last_(song).jpg/220px-Since_I_Saw_You_Last_(song).jpg 14. Gary Barlow - Since I Saw You Last = Avg: 9.083 At #14 is another Gary Barlow single "Since I Saw You Last" taken as the third single from the album of the same name. The song itself was written by Gary and tells the story of his struggle for success after Take That's split and the media backlash against him in favour of Robbie Williams and left him on the verge of a breakdown and Gary sings the track with such depth and passion and he stated this track helped him to accept the events of the past and remember the lessons learned. Released in April of this year the track peaked at #65 on the UK singles chart becoming the 2nd highest charting single from that album as well. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/8/8d/Four_Minute_Warning_Single_Cover.jpg/220px-Four_Minute_Warning_Single_Cover.jpg 13. Mark Owen - Four Minute Warning = 9.357 At #13 is Mark Owen single "Four Minute Warning" making this his final single to drop out of this countdown following (Clemintine #24, Child #33, Stars #36, Alone Without You #42, I Am What I Am #44, Makin' Out #48 & Believe In The Boogie #50). So I'm glad he had at least one solo single in the top 20 of this countdown. Released in August 2003 and peaked at #4 on the UK charts making this his 3rd and final solo top 10 hit. This track was his first released on new record label Island Records and taken from his 2nd solo album "In Your Own Time", this success was promoted by his win on Celebrity Big Brother and the song was based on a public alert conceived by the British Goverment during the Cold War. Although the success of this proved a fluke as his follow up missed the UK top 20 and the album bombed at #59 leading him to be again dropped by his second record label. "Four Minute Warning" managed to became his third and single to chart in Ireland at #37, and peaked at #52 in the Netherlands, and also managed a #17 peak on the Europe Top 100, http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/5/55/Facetofacd.jpg/220px-Facetofacd.jpg 12. Gary Barlow (Ft Elton John) - Face To Face = Avg: 9.5 At #12 is Gary Barlow's "Face To Face" another track from his 4th solo album "Since I Saw You Last" and final to featured on this countdown. Released in January of this year and taken as the 2nd single from the said album and didn't quite manage to match the success of "LMG" when it originally charted at #80, but when his documentry aired in March the track re entered the UK charts at #69 (Just goes to show that good quality pop songs don't cut it anymore). When writing for this album Gary knew straight away that he wanted to try and get his Idol and long time friend Sir Elton John to duet with on the track and thankfully he accepted within' an hour and booked in the infamous Abbey Road Studios and recorded the song in 10 minutes. Gary stated that during his wilderness years that Elton John was one of the only people who supported him and so Gary wrote this song as a thank you note to him. "Face To Face" also charted in Ireland due to the documentry peaking at #75 and a #9 peak in Croatia. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/9/97/Take-That-A-Million-Love-Songs.jpg/220px-Take-That-A-Million-Love-Songs.jpg 11. Take That - A Million Love Songs = Avg: 9.5 At #11 and just missing the top 10 by a minor inch is Take That's "A Million Love Songs" Released in October 1992 and was the 6th single to be taken from they're debut album "Take That & Party" making this the final of that era to drop out of this rate following (It Only Takes A Minute #26, Could It Be Magic #30, Do What U Like #41, I Found Heaven #43, Promises #47 & Once You've Tasted Love #49). The track peaked at #7 on the UK singles chart becoming their 2nd top 10 hit and written by Gary Barlow when he was 15 years old. It was given a worldwide release in January 1993 and managed a #50 peak in the Netherlands and #7 in Japan and even submitted to airplay in the USA but failed to chart. This track has found a lot more praise through the years as it has been covered on X Factor numourous times by such acts as Leona Lewis and JLS and it has been voted by critics and the public as the greatest ballad of all time.
