I can see the title track being the most consistently streamed.

Possible as it would have the advantage that way.

The tour might have helped get a few extra sales/streams.

Does anyone know if deluxe CD is being sold anywhere else apart from the online store? Neither Amazon or HMV have it available to preorder and postage is added on if you order from the store making it quite expensive for just a few new tracks.

Im hoping its more widely available but when i saw your post i just checked goldendiscs where i usually buy my cds from here in Ireland and its not listed :( :o

This re release feels like its going to be handled as well as the Three deluxe which we all know went pretty unnoticed and did little for the album.

It’s certainly looking that way…I can’t believe the deluxe CD isn’t available anywhere apart from the store. I’ve held off buying as don’t wanna pay a silly price for a few new tracks.

I really dont understand why they are doing that way, it doesnt really make much sense.

It’s not available in HMV store so ended up ordering it from the online store but I begrudge paying over £16 for a CD I already own albeit a handful of new tracks.

It's a complete mess of a release.

Yeah I'm going to leave this for now too and see if it drops down in price at some point, £16 including postage is very steep. I already have Serenity as I got the HMV version of the original album, and I'm not massively fussed on the acoustic and live versions. £10 from HMV I might have considered.

 

I listened to the new studio songs on Spotify and really only particularly like You & Me, which we've already heard and I'm sure it will pop up on the summer Now album anyway in terms of getting it physically.

Interesting to see how it will chart this week.

37 in todays mids which probably means it will be lucky to stay top 75 on Friday.

Number 60 this week which isn't great but a lot better than I expected.

To think there was a time a re release from them like this could challenge for number 1.

I think Progressed did at least basically offer a whole new album of new tracks though, and was also of course stocked widely and properly, not just on their website at a high price.

 

Also, the tracks were really quite unusual and striking for a band like Take That to put out - whereas the essentially three new tracks (plus a former HMV bonus track) on this re-release are just more of the same average material for me sadly. You & Me is as good as some of the strong album tracks on the main album but the other two are below par for me.

Agree you and me is great and should have been on the original release the others aren't anything more than half decent b sides.

I received the deluxe edition this week. It’s an odd release tbh. It comes in 2 separate jewel cases. There is a jewel case with the standard album and the additional tracks are in another jewel. I’ve never known any other release like it. Surely, the tracks would have fitted all on 1 cd or just have a double jewel case.

Does it come in a card slipcase?

 

I'm gonna wait for a few weeks til it drops in price. £16 - Ha!

Im waiting for a price drop aswell which should happen fairly soon based on how its fared so far.

Yeah, there is also a card slipcase to keep both CDs together.

At an estimate i think This Life is on about 170k UK sales including last week.
