I'm definitely expecting Radio 1 to snub Take That this time, they were probably pushing their luck last time around.

 

 

Its quite sad really :cry: , they are more than likely never to have another No1 in the singles chart ever again. Although Robbie could be No1 in November with Avicii although uncredited.

 

Theyve been a classic chart act!

184. Break the Rules - Charli XCX

 

That's a bit more like it, hopefully that's enough for top 10 now and it can ascend a bit further before its release on Sunday.

Nov 24th for the album? There's already 4 big albums out for that date, Olly Murs, Susan Boyle, David Guetta, Nicki Minaj. Dec 10th better release date, no big albums confirmed for that date yet

 

Take That will be #1 regardless of the competition it's up against (except maybe One Direction), so I don't think it'll bother them in anyway. Syco might want to push back the likes of Olly Murs though, Susan Boyle less so (albums have missed the summit in the past).

 

Digital Spy has the Take That album released on December 1st, maybe the single will be out November 24th, that would make more sense

39. The Goo Goo Dolls- Iris

52. Snow Patrol- Chasing Cars

65. My Chemical Romance- Welcome to the Black Parade

66. David Guetta ft Sia- Titanium

84. Bruno Mars- Locked Out of Heaven

87. Coldplay- Paradise

88. Seal- Kiss from a Rose

95. Icona Pop ft Charli XCX- I Love It

96. Fun- Some Nights

 

Guessing all of these are 59p.

 

Do people with streaming now in the charts that a track that is older which is 59p will ever chart Top40 in the UK or not. Possibly yes with the Xmas tracks. Any other song apart from Xmas tracks?

There's no way Radio 1 will support Take That's new single this time around. They snubbed both Robbie and Gary's solo stuff over the past few years. I do think that Robbie's only appearing on Avicii or Dizzee Rascal tracks as he knows that's the only way onto Radio 1's playlist now. He's a very clever guy.

 

I wonder what Take That's first week album sales will be like in this day and age of low sales. I around predict 200k max.

I don't know if Robbie's that bothered about the R1 playlist if he's proven that he can do well without their assistance?

Robbie's most recent Top 10 hits have mostly come in November and tied in with an X-Factor performance. He may not need the BBC, but he does need ITV to provide any kind of hit.

'Go Gentle' wouldn't have been a hit without X Factor (really it's amazing it managed top 10 even with it as it's not exactly a very chart-friendly song) but 'Candy' was a legitimately big song in its own right.

Ah thats why Ben Howards single went so high!

Predictions for this?

 

My optimistic prediction is #56. Eeeek!

 

I could see it doing similarly to Amelia Lily's California, so low top 100 (but top 75 on sales). It's a very limp song so I can't say I'm gutted, wish Nicole would go back to releasing amazing pop tracks like Poison and DHYB :(
