I think the album will freefall this week - I'm so disappointed that GN and 'Audience With' only resulted in 15k.

 

They have nothing to prop the album up now - time for a swift £4.99 promotion on iTunes!

Giants, Lucky Stars and New Day are the songs that are sticking with me so far.

 

I had the cd on play in the house over the weekend, its the first chance i have had to do this since i got the album and those 3 songs in a row work and i really like them. Giants has grown on me, i love the chorus parts the most.

 

Outside these 3 songs i find the songs a mixture between generic and forgettable, although dont give up on me stands on on the later stage of the album as its so repetitive its hard to forget it.

 

New Day has to be a single but i cant see it doing anything more than a minor hit at most. I dont know what will keep the album selling from now on but i hope they can eventually get it to platinum.

 

Wonderland i am fairly certain will be one of those albums i will probably not listen to in a years time, all their other albums i still play as they have good album tracks but i cant see this happening with wonderland for me and it will most likely be my least favourite Take That album.

 

 

#5 in the mids with 5.1k sales - was expecting them to plummet this week but low sales are holding them up, glad they are looking to get a 4th week in the Top 5.

I was relieved to see it top 5 in the midweeks too as like yourself i expected it to freefall this week. It could end the week on sales of around 10k.

I hope they can keep selling at this pace at least, so that they eventually get to platinum.

Had they released in Q4, they wouldn't have had to struggle this much.

Hopefully, the tour will keep the sales steady.

Unless a re-release happens and handled correctly i am struggling to see how Wonderland will make platinum as sales will drop as the weeks progress and its still a bit of reaching 200,000. A further 100,000 without any major single success, promotion etc will be hard to achieve.

They've just announced that the Wonderland Tour will be screened LIVE in cinemas nationwide on 9th June - tickets are on sale this Friday. Might do this actually, I watched the screening of Robbie's tour back in 2013 and it was wicked!

They should bundle the tickets with the CD to get extra sales :lol:

Agree with you Pippa...I think they'll end up re releasing it with the tour DVD at Xmas time to get them to platinum and maybe even the top spot

I doubt the reissue will reach the top spot. I seem to remember the III reissue with the DVD didn't chart that high, possibly missing the top 10 if I remember rightly.

Hopefully they do a soundtrack to Kingsman II and have a bonus song added to the reissue of the album. A new wicked single is a must for this album to do well.

#5 this week with 7,911 sales.

Possibly, but the DVD itself for III had issues when played which the media caught on to

I think the midweek was around #7 before the issue got highlighted and it ended up entering at #11.

#13 in the mids, I guess 2-4-5-5-13 is not too horrendous, although I think it'll start to fade away quickly now :nocheer:

I am really not feeling this album. I loved Progress and III had some really good tracks but I don't find this one very good. Is it full of growers? Should I give it a another shot?

Good time for the second single. New Day has been announced

I'm torn about it being a single. I like it but kinda want them to do something more risky with a 2nd single so people take notice. Either Superstars or It's all for you.

New day is disappointing single choice. Quite safe & predictable. I wish they had gone with come on love or up.

I wonder if there's any promo lined up...dangerously likely it won't make any impact on the charts. Perhaps another physical release?
