They really need to start pushing New Day now. It is likely this wont do anything as i fear they will no zero promotion for it due to the tour.

Wonderland is number 22 in the latest midweek chart information.

I cant see New Day getting promotion at all and it will be lucky to make the top 200 at this rate. The album really is crawling its way to get to 200,000 sales and the tour has what kept it a float the last few weeks. I think it will start to drop fast soon :cry:

I fear the same on both points. I cant see what will keep the album selling without having hits.

I was at the concert on saturday and it was absolutely fantastic! I was with a couple of people who were on the fence about Take That but came away raving about them and the show!

 

The Flood and Giants in particular were spectacular!

How was the staging?

Delighted you had a great time and it was a great show and the people you were with also came away impressed.

Number 22 this week,that's 3 months in the top 25.

I was wondering: did those who went to see the concert on the 9th of June hear Bucharest say "Hello London?" :lol:

This time, the crowd in the cine was much more alive than the last time. The cine was almost full and, after a shy start, people started cheering and applauding and really going for it. We did the whole Pray and NF arms routine and we were all laughing. Some people even got up to dance. I had to refrain myself and to dance in my seat, cause one girl next to me kept sending me murderous looks for singing all the time :lol:

There was a little boy next to me who was completely enamoured with Gary :lol: He was doing and showing everything I wanted to :lol:

I know that How Deep Is Your Love is not really appreciated by UK fans, but here, it got quite an unexpected reaction from the people in the cine. They really went wild for it and clapped a long time after it finished. The same went for Pray and BFG. And, from the new songs, people seemed really impressed with Hope and It's All For You - that or Gary's voice on those songs, I have no idea which one.

 

The whole experience showed me that there'd be a public here for TT, in case they decided to come, and, at the same time, it made me sad, cause now I know what I'm missing out on :(

.........and the sharp decline we feared has started to hit with Wonderland. In the latest midweeks it is at position 36 dropping 14 places. That said, there is a high number of new entries this week.

Number 36 this week, it will probably leave the top 40 this week :cry:

I still find it weird that this whole album/tour cycle has lasted literally 4 months. Why was it so rushed?

According to their social medias, they are currently on summer vacation. I guess the "New Day" and "Wonderland" promotions are not happening.

I doubt new day will even get a release now. Album drops big this week down 32 places to number 68.

Unless a spectacular re-release occurs Wonderland has no chance of reaching platinum. The album is almost out of the charts and its sales are slightly over 200,000. With nothing lined up the album has little to no chance of selling much more. Wonderland as an era appears very rushed and only half hearted as it now looks like the era is closed. I find this disappointing as they could have done so much more with this.

I suspect we may get a reissue near Christmas to boost sales and it might just reach platinum but disappointing sales given it's a good album.

I believe a re-issue would be great and should happen.

Number 75 this week, 15 weeks top 75 but most likely its last unless we get the re-release.

Sales are now 205,000.

 

At this point three and wonderland combined have sold less than since I saw you last total.

In fairness, 200k isn't too bad in today's climate outside of a key selling period...but yeah, when you think about BW, Circus and Progress...and even Three, Wonderland has really struggled to capture the imagination of fans.

 

The whole era felt rushed to me. However, a number 2 album and another top 15 single are welcome additions to the discography. Question is, where do they go from here?

All we now know is they are passed their peak and future big chart successes are highly unlikely. I think the new Greatest Hits which wont happen for a while (30th anniversary) era could do ok for them as nostalgia will help and also Robbie will be back which will likely attract interest too. This will likely be their last big selling album.

 

Wonderland is a good album but as its been said before on the thread it wasnt the album people really wanted from them. I agree that the whole era seems pure rushed and it was like they had the approach of lets do this and get it out of the way.

 

I think they have a chance of having a studio album that could outsell Wonderland if they produce the right material. Giants for example isnt a bad song but not strong enough attract huge attention to a new album outside the hardcore fanbase. Wonderland, seems to be largely an album bought by fans, i would think its safe to say it didnt not attract anyone to buy a Take That album that did not buy one before.

 

I would hope we get another studio album before the 30th anniversary, which would bridge the 30th anniversary.
