For the longest time I've been interested in which songs by Take That are most popular especially outside of Europe and on different continents.

The hardest to find are Africa, Asia and South America so I decided the best way to find out would be to surf through their countries iTunes store instead!

 

I've also done the percentage for that continent based on 90's and 00's share of the data and then at the bottom linking both singles/albums thread for overall.

I can vouch for Romania that Back for Good is their most popular song. I've NEVER heard Babe on the radio.

It's Back for Good, Rule the World and Said It All here. iTunes is never an indicative for countries like mine.
