I think Platinum could be a struggle - I'm not sure there is a standout track that sounds like it could be a big hit so there is not much to keep the album selling, the 'Audience With' will give it a boost but with Mothers Day sales out of the way and no hit single to sustain sales I don't have high hopes for it but hope I'm wrong!

Thats the problem if the singles arent there, there is not much to hold it up, the audience with should give it a nice boost but after that it will be a struggle.

I just hope they can make it next week, or when the tour starts

They're up to 95k now, VERY impressive for this time of year, just poor timing...

 

Do you all know they're performing on Graham Norton next Friday? Excellent promo.

Such impressive sales for this time of year and the fact they done nothing to promote 'Giants'.

 

Maybe with the GN performance and 'Audience With' they could snag a week at the top in the next week or 2?

Although I'm sad Wonderland won't be no 1, I'm really impressed with their sales. Imagine what they could have sold had they decided to release in Q4!!

Sales are very impressive! Especially given the fact it's not Xmas! Just a shame ES is dominating the charts

Ive heard wonderland a few times now. I think it's my second favourite TT album after III. Unfortunately, the album lacks a killer single but there isn't a bad track on it. Some of my favourites include Up, The last poet, come on love and every revolution.

It's one of my fav albums too, I haven't skipped one song yet - but I struggle to see a second single. Perhaps it'll be something like New Day. Although, id like them to go with Last Poet or Lucky Stars

While i am disappointed they wont be number 1 im made up with the sales as its pretty much in line with Three which was a q4 release. I hope the audience with will help get it good sales next week too.

 

Ultimate Collection top 30 as well is great.

I'm so obsessed with wonderland. Look at my lastfm: (2011-)

*debut

Progress is only so low because I joined in October 2011 and by then my hype was already gone... otherwise the album would have 3,000 scrobbles.

 

 

Gary has confirmed at the signings that the next single will be New Day.

I guess it's the most logical song to go with next. They need to repeat the physical feat they did for Giants. Release a couple of versions with b sides and live songs

I was hoping for Lucky Star to be the next single. It's such a fun song. My favorite at the moment is Superstar but don't think that qualifies as a single. So far I like this album more than III but it kinda lack a killer song like In to the Wild or Freeze.

 

Btw, hi everyone. I'm new but have been checking the forum in the shadow for many years. :teresa:

Hi, Badhabit :)

 

I hope we'll get a physical cd of New Day with a b-side. Although it's only a b-side, I, personally, rate Loving or Leaving above many of the tracks on the album.

I'd love it for It's All for You or Hope to be the 3rd single. They really need to put out a ballad.

Hi BadHabit! :)

 

New Day is a song which I can't make up my mind about, do I like it or not? <_< I can't decide!

Yes, a physical cd with a proper b-side is a must.

Welcome, Badhabit! I would like Lucky Star too.

 

I would whether they qualify New Day as their third single

worst track on the album

I quite like New Day but it's hardly a vintage single choice. I'd love to see a reissue around Xmas with a tour DVD and three or four new songs, at least one of which is a big epic string-laden lush classic Barlow ballad.

 

This album is really strong and cohesive as a whole but it's missing that magic moment that every single one of their other albums has at least one of. What I mean is I can't see any of these songs joining the Take That 'canon', at least we had These Days on III to do that.

Probably true. I really enjoy this album as a whole but it seems to lack a wow song that make you want to sing along. Maybe live show will change that. I love Hold Up the Light in the album but with the live show it's on another level.

 

Gary said in one of the interview that their two record companies are talking about monster boxset for the greatest hits coming out at the end of this year. They may have some new songs written with Robbie in there too.

 

I also hope they do the soundtrack for Kingsman II. If they do it should be good.
