It's getting more and more frustrating. Knowing that they're #4 in the midweeks doesn't help at all, cause it just emphasizes what a missed opportunity this is.

Giants is heads and shoulders above Ed's new song and it deserved a proper promotion.

 

 

The only reason I can think of for this lack of promotion is that they're saving it for the album release. In the past, the album was released immediately after the lead single, which helped organize the promotion.

 

Although, this could have been the perfect opportunity for them to release the 2nd single before the album and it wouldn't have impeded the Giants promotion.

Giants they may possibly view as a form of buzz single and possibly release another single quickly that they will promote.

 

Anyone else finding it hard to predict what sales the album will achieve in week 1, i am slightly apprehensive it will just about manage 100,000.

 

 

So far, given the fact that the single isn't a total disaster and has achieved,with no promotion, way better sales than Party Like A Russian, I'm hoping that the album too will have better opening figures than Robbie's. It remains to be seen whether they choose to promote the album or not.

I wonder if TT will also chart at number one with their single and album like Robbie did outside of the UK where PLAR went gold in several countries. LML and the album did the same.

Looks like the 25th anniversary isnt or should i say hasn't happened by reading this. If the story running is true, i would think there will be no new Greatest Hits package before the 30th anniversary. Going by the traditional gaps in their albums we would get one more studio album after Wonderland then we will stepping towards the 30th anniversary.

 

I can't see the album selling 100k. Maybe 60-70k though given the time of year and it will probably chart at no2 behind Ed Sheeran. According to Amazon, the album release date has been pushed back a week to 24th March.

The article and the headlines today are completely misleading. The guys were just joking around during a radio interview about the 25th anniversary and how they could end up celebrating the 30th anniversary if they were to wait for Jason....

Gary himself announced that the album would be released on the 24th of March...possibly because of Ed's release.

 

I know that sales aren't great this time of the year, but if they could sell in 2 days with no promo more than others do in Q4, why can't it be the same with the album?

I can't see Ed beating TT on his third weeks sales, especially as TT will begin with 40k ish based on the preorders and tour priority offers. Perhaps they are holding back all their promo for the album, although I doubt they'll release a second single so soon. Although...if they released at Xmas, a second single would be released around this time. Thing with the tour is that they usually have 3 official singles released by the time they hit the road...so maybe we can expect a second single soon...

I would be afraid of Ed too, what might help is, i would expect Ed will have massive 1st week sales, a big drop off in week 2 and further decline in week 3 which should be enough for Take That to land the number 1.

 

I would have thought they are a big enough name to open with 100,000 plus on debut week. While Take Thats album sales have declined they still remain an albums act more so than a singles act.

No date yet, but ITV have announced 'An evening with Take That' coming soon!

 

Will this be their first 'Evening with' since 2006?

Great news!!! :)

 

I think there was a circus-related show at the start of that era (it was the only time I remember them singing Julie live).

Of course! Completely forgot about that one. Really enjoyed the Circus one

Finally some good news from the promotional aspect. They need this. Ideally this would air on the Saturday, the day after its release.

when is the release date now?

Read the topic title

Drake is apparently releasing his album as early as this weekend (but definitely sometime this month). His last album opened with 78K, but he has sine become a streaming force in the UK and could challenge TT if he releases on the 24th, not to mention Ed Sheeran's dominance (he already sold 590K, more than Progress's 520K) :cry:

 

I hope the special does wonders for them. Anyone know if they filmed it yet? Also, when is the Giants video coming out?

I read somewhere that the tv special will be aired on Sunday 2nd April. One week too late... But better late than never I guess!!
