I wont agree it is embarrassing as many acts in the business as long as Take That cant achieve top 100 hits let alone a number 21 placing. I will agree it is very disappointing and not the outcome i would have hoped for. That said, getting Take That on radio 1 and 2 is an achievement but the sad reality is it only there because of the Sigma name rather than Take That.

 

This result makes me apprehensive of how the lead single off the new album will perform, everything indicates towards that they will need to promote like they never have done so before to get a hit that is if they really do want to chase hits.

I think a key thing to remember here as well is the on air/on sale strategy.

 

TT always give the song 4-6 weeks before release after the first radio spin. If they did it for Cry, I have no doubt it would be another top 10.

 

 

So "Cry" dropped out of the top 40? :blink:

Number 43 this week folks :cry: :cry:

83 here in Ireland this week!

Not a great performance for them in Ireland unless it can mage to climb in the coming weeks.

Currently at number 26 on Itunes.

The song needs more live performances or it will continue to fall on iTunes. :(

Number 49 in today's mid-week chart information.

Cry is A listed on Radio 1!

Number 55 this week. This position is slightly better than i had thought for this week.

#5 on radio AirPlay but #55 on the chart. Ouch.

They need a big performance on tv.

Did they give up on this already?

It looks likely they have as nothing appears to be on the horizon to promote it. :cry:

Cry had moved up to number 41 in the Monday mid-week information. Therefore, it is a possibility it will climb this week :dance:

Radio 1 AirPlay seems to be boosting

Down to #51-54 this week (according to JosephOdell) :(

Cry based on that information should remain top 60.

59p now. Rising again.
