The downward spiral continues for Wonderland. It is showing a number 91 position in the midweek chart information.

Wonderland has officially departed the official Top 100 this week :cry:

Can't see it returning very soon either.

A price reduction would help greatly. Unless the re-release happens (if it does) sales will drop off completly. It is disappointing the album has not managed platinum. Three was their first album not to reach double platinum ( but its almost there, and will achieve it eventually) and Wonderland is the first to not make platinum. Their previous Live album releases have sold more than Wonderland with ease.

Zero sustained promo...I'm hoping we get a deluxe version at Xmas with the DVD to get us to platinum at least

The guys just seem to be behind this album at all which makes me sometimes doubt they will even bother with a re-release.

If you mean aren't behind this album I would agree Pippa,it's done and dusted far too quickly.

Wonderland is the 6th highest selling album this year and has sold 202,000 copies so far

Any news about a re-release? I have a feeling we may not get one now. Seems like they have abandoned the album as no new promotion or new single. It's a shame as those sales don't reflect the quality of the album.

I would think if they were going ahead with a re-release we would have heard something about it by now. It heavily appears the guys have moved on from Wonderland. In many respects it feels like the forgotten album.

Yeah, looks like their focus is on the greatest hits release now which is a shame

Its looking that way. I am looking forward to the Greatest Hits and and how its handled and what the new songs will be like.

Surely, the Greatest Hits will be handled much better than Wonderland. I do believe, if they put the work in, The Greatest Hits will reverse their sales fortunes and potentially re-build interest in their follow up studio album.

I'm not sure how well a greatest hits will do for them. They have already had a successful greatest hits when they reformed and most people will already have all of their big hits. Follow up greatest hits don't always tend to do as well which is the case with the likes of Madonna. I think it will depend on how the era is marketed. Are we expecting a greatest hits soon?

I believe this new Greatest Hits from Take That, in many ways is an exception to the rule. The Ultimate Collection was their second Greatest hits and it outsold their original Greatest Hits by double the amount.

 

If the new Greatest Hits is based on the reform material only, it is a first time collection from them. There is also the option of a single CD release and double 2 CD release. This would provide options of including or excluding the material that appeared on the Ultimate Collection/Original Greatest Hits.

 

It is most likely, the new Greatest Hits wont be as big a seller as the Ultimate Collection, in fact its a certainty. The aim would be for it to at the least sell double platinum and more and show an increase in sales when compared to Wonderland and Three.

 

 

I could actually imagine a GH exclusively for material post 2006 reform shifting 700k or so over a Christmas market.

I think you could be correct Tawdry. However, what makes me think it wont be just a post 2006 is Robbie's involvement. If Robbie is involved the older material will be mixed in to the cd i would believe.

It would probably make sense to focus this GHs just on post 2006, especially as the ultimate collection is still selling strongly.

 

That said, it's likely to probably be a double CD box set thing of pre and post break up

They should release both. A double cd and single, the single could be 2006 onwards only. As i have all their material, and have both Greatest Hits i would prefer 2006 onwards only. That said, if they go with a "Best of" it could be a single mixed cd of all eras.

I heard Gary mentions both of our record companies at some points. So I think the new greatest hits will be a mix of both eras. Just not sure in what kind of format.
