Gosh I hope so. They'll need to sell around 70k next week to make it to the top though.

 

Hopefully the tour dates being so soon will encourage people to keep buying it

It hasn't charted in Billboard 200 in America but that was always going to be a tall order.

Interestingly James Blunt album has debuted at #177 in America which is a lot lower than I would have expected for him.

It hasn't gone top 200 in France either.

It didn't chart in top 100 Canadian albums either unfortunately.

The itv show and the tour hype and i would hope something else in promotion could lift them to sales of 70,000 next week but i dont think it will happen.My goal for Wonderland is to achieve platinum status and the sales next week if good could really increase its chances.

Wonderland remains at number 4 in the mid week information today but is only 800 sales ahead of Drake who is number 5. While top 5 is safe for Take That i would like them to hold on in the top 4. Sales for this week at this point are 12.6 so 15,000 looks possible.

Third week promo could boost it to 25k at the very best I think but realistically it will probably just stay static or decline less than would otherwise be the case...70k isn't going to happen, nowhere near, we never see promo boosts of such a magnitude, sadly, as it would be great for them to get another #1 but I can't see it ever happening with this album.

It's a shame the album didn't chart as of yet in Taiwan and Demark as both these countries have given big success to Take That since they reformed. However regardless of this the album has charted at #3 in the overall World Charts behind 1.Ed Sheeran and 2.Drake.

 

This is also an improvement on III which charted at #8 on the World Album Chart first week on release.

World chart position is impressive.

 

Wonderland drops a further place to number in the midweeks, it is still respectable with good sales for week 2.

Surely they have to be a contender for #1 next week? They are on Graham Norton which should appeal to their fan base and always seems to give acts decent boosts followed by an 'Audience With' which should boost the album and Ultimate Collection.

 

They should end week 2 with the album selling around 135,000 which is pretty decent.

Positions below - lll vs Wonderland

 

UK - lll #1/Wonderland #2

Ireland - lll #6/Wonderland #3

Australia - lll DNC/Wonderland #28

Austria - lll DNC/Wonderland #47

Germany - lll #26/Wonderland #19

Italy - lll #39/Wonderland #36

The Netherlands - lll #64/Wonderland #48

Switzerland - lll #59/Wonderland #28

 

lll charted at #54 in Spain and Wonderland seems to have missed the Top 100, Same for Denmark where lll reached #23

20,000 looks to be around their sales this week which is good. Graham Norton should give it a boost aswell as their own show. I really dont know what to expect sales wise next week. Its likely that Giants is what will be performed on Graham Norton and the problem is i dont think people are connecting with the song as the ant and dec Saturday night take didnt exactly give it a big boost but it might have helped sales of the album.

 

I would think their audience with will have a mixture of new songs and old songs so hopefully it will turn in album sales for Wonderland, i think the Ultimate Collection will be back in the top 20 after it but how much of a lift Wonderland will get is hard to call as its been a lukewarm reception to their new material SO FAR! Ed Sheeran will still be hard for anyone to topple next week as he will probably sell minimum 50,000 again next week.

 

The perception either with critics (The Guardian gives 2 stars) as well as the general public is average and below average. The sales in week one in the UK was impressive. Any other charting aside of Ireland is fogettable. But they are nevertheless a strong craft, look at the 2 million tickets for the muscial The Band sold in the UK. And the lucrative UK tour sold very well. They will be massive with teh next Greatest Hits

From what I've read, they're only performing Wonderland, Giants and New Day from the new album :( I really wanted to hear more, especially It's All For You, Hope, Come On Love and Lucky Stars.

They should have perform Lucky Star. That song should go down very well and somewhat a good representation of the new album.

 

The reason that positions of the new album look better than III in other countries must come from not many competitions at this time of the year. I don't get a feel that it sells better.

That doesn't surprise me to be honest (although does disappoint me!). They only ever seem to air a few of their new songs when doing this kind of tv special and then go heavy on all the old/obvious ones like pray and never forget. It would be nice if they could let go of their back catalogue for this kind of show and go "sod it, we're going heavy on new-album songs" and maybe just chuck in one or two of the old anthems.

Grim reaction to 'Wonderland' on Graham Norton on social media! I have to say the dance moves were a bit bizzare.

 

Was really hoping they would perform 'Giants' - it almost as if they dropped it without ever getting behind it, missed opportunity as I'm not sure WL will have people running to check out the album.

For the 1st time since the album release, I really loved Wonderland. The haters on twitter will complain about anything.

Was surprised they performed Wonderland but it might not have been a bad move.

 

I've found the song to be a bit of a grower - so when they perform it again tonight on Audience With it will be the 2nd time in quick succession that the general public hear the song. Hopefully they'll like it enough after performance number 2 to go and buy the album!

Wonderland - Before/After GN on iTunes

 

Deluxe version - #29 to #24

Standard version - #61 to #55

 

Hope they get a big boost from tonight's show!

iTunes isn't very relevant to album sales.

But it's a good indication of how the general public respond to promo on big shows - GN is known for providing acts with big boosts usually.
