Hats off to TT though.
November 30, 201411 yr YAY for Take That. The first Band Aid version to spend one week at number 1 (so far)?
November 30, 201411 yr Author 01 00 01 Take That These Days III | 2014 http://a3.mzstatic.com/eu/r30/Music5/v4/04/63/cc/0463ccdf-4dd4-6c89-0a01-746941171f73/cover170x170.jpeg Chart run: 1 Release date: 23-11-2014 Format: digital single Label: Polydor Video here: I43R3jIFE74 Biography Take That are a British pop group that formed in 1990 currently consisting of Gary Barlow, Howard Donald, and Mark Owen. The original line-up also featured Jason Orange and Robbie Williams. Barlow acts as the group's lead singer and primary songwriter. Owen and Williams would provide backing vocals, with Donald and Orange serving primarily as dancers. In total, the group have had 27 top 40 singles and 16 top 5 singles in the United Kingdom alone, 11 of which have reached number 1, as well as having seven number 1 albums. Internationally the band have had 54 number one hits and 35 number-one albums. Robbie Williams left the band in 1995 while the four remaining members completed their world tour and released a final single before splitting up in 1996. After filming a 2005 documentary about the group and releasing a new greatest hits album, a four-piece Take That without Williams officially announced a 2006 reunion tour around the UK, entitled The Ultimate Tour. On 9 May 2006, it was announced that the group were set to record new material together once again; their fourth studio album, Beautiful World, was released in 2006 and was followed up with The Circus, in 2008. The group achieved new success as a four-piece, scoring a string of chart hits across the UK and Europe while taking the number of records sold to 45 million worldwide. Williams rejoined Take That in 2010 for the band's sixth studio album, Progress. It was released on 15 November of that year and became the fastest selling album of the 21st century and the second fastest selling album in British history, whilst also making it the first album of new material to feature Take That's original line-up since their 1995 album, Nobody Else. Since 2011, Take That have set the new record for the fastest selling tour of all time in the UK with Progress Live, beating the previous record set by their Circus Live Tour in 2009, won the BRIT Award for Best British Group, and were named as Amazon's top-selling music artist of all time. In 2012, the band were announced by Forbes as the fifth highest-earning music stars in the world. In the same year, the Official Charts Company revealed the biggest selling singles artists in British music chart history with Take That currently placed at 15th overall, making them the most successful boy band in UK chart history. - Wikipedia Chart history (Year peak title): 1991 38 Promises -1- 1992 47 Once You've Tasted Love -2- 1992 07 It Only Takes A Minute -3- 1992 15 I Found Heaven -4- 1992 07 A Million Love Songs -5- 1992 03 Could It Be Magic -6- 1993 02 Why Can't I Wake Up With You? -1- 1993 01 Pray -2- 1993 01 Relight My Fire (Take That Feat.

November 30, 201411 yr Well done to Take That! A very surprise #1 for me, a very impressive achievement for them.
November 30, 201411 yr Incredible achievement for Take That! An extremely rare sight these days for a lead runner in the all-time most number 1's list to add to their tally too. The song itself is decent enough, they've done better post reunion but as I mentioned before I prefer this at #1 over Band Aid.

November 30, 201411 yr Really glad for Take That, These Days is a great song, I love how they always have a slightly different sound for a lot of their singles. And ofc. incredible that they can still manage a number 1 twenty two years after first arriving, particularly when this era didn't seem to have anywhere near as much hype and they've lost two members since their last album! Slaying all boy bands to this day and always~ That sales drop for Band Aid 30 will be quite brutal, but I reckon it will make it back to the top before the years out at least.

November 30, 201411 yr Must Jameela (or indeed pretty much any Radio 1 DJ) give a sarcastic response to every non-Radio 1 playlisted hit? Their fanbase is far broader than mums.
November 30, 201411 yr Well done to Take That getting to Number 1 this week. :D Looking forward to seeing the album sales for III next week.
November 30, 201411 yr This has proved to be a real grower for me, I love the structure of seeing Mark, Gary and Howard all sing every part together, it's quite unusual.
