I'm not sure yet Milly, I think you need to have downloaded Apple music to live stream it.

 

Great news, Gary has just tweeted saying we will hear the new music in 4 weeks time!

 

He's also revealed that TT are planning US dates at the moment and that Finding Neverland will hit the UK in 2016!

The Ultimate Collection is sitting at number 87 in the mid week information released today. Based on this, it should remain top 100 this week registering a climb.

On the 15th July last year The Official Charts company stated it was on 2,360,000 copies so it would only need 40,000 to move up to 8 x Platinum which would be amazing!

 

Other album thresholds:

 

Take That & Party - 870,000 (January 2016) - 30,000 copies away from 3 x Platinum

Everything Changes - 1,300,000 (January 2016) - 200,000 copies away from 5 x Platinum

Nobody Else - 680,000 (January 2016) - 220,000 copies away from 3 x Platinum

Greatest Hits - 1,100,000 (April 2011) - 100,000 copies away from 4 x Platinum

The Platinum Collection - 60,000 (January 2015) - 40,000 copies away from Gold

Beautiful World - 2,850,000 (July 2016) - 150,000 copies away from 10 x Platinum!

The Circus - 2,200,000 (January 2016) - 200,000 copies away from 8 x Platinum

The Greatest Day - Take That Presents The Circus Live - 514,000 (December 2011) - 86,000 copies away from 2 x Platinum

Progress - 2,400,000 (January 2016) - 300,000 copies away from 9 x Platinum

Progress Live - 100,000 (July 2013) - 200,000 copies away from Platinum

III - 579,000 (January 2016) - 21,000 copies away from 2 x Platinum

 

The albums that are less than 100,000 away could definitely go over into another sales threshold if given a little push so that's Take That & Party (remained on those sales for an eternity!!), The Platinum Collection, Circus Live (though unsure live albums are steady sellers over time) and III which will go double platinum possibly when the new album comes out.

 

III could definitely go 2 X Platimum as streaming will ensure it keeps ticking up sales. I really can't see 'The Platinum Collection' ever getting near gold - it was a multi album package that basically got the bulk of its sales from physicals when Take That returned to prominence.

 

TTAP could eventually get the 30k needed via streaming too. Everything else seems too far away to notch up anymore awards.

I always thought the Platinum Collection would have charted and sold better and was surprised by its performance of lack of considering how huge they were when it was released.

 

Three will eventually make double platinum but it might be a slow process. The Ultimate Collection will continue to sell in low numbers although a new Greatest Hits package would reduce trickle sales for it. At this point it has done amazingly well but it would be wonderful if it could reach 8 times platinum.

 

The Greatest Day - Take That Presents The Circus Live - 514,000, l always thought this had higher sales. For a live album it has performed wonderfully,i would be delighted for this to make double platinum but its unlikely. That said, if it does it will take a long time unless Take That become huge again.

 

Take That and Party, while 30,000 is lowest to reach a new status on the list i think it happening is very unlikely.

 

Three and the Ultimate Collection are most likely the only 2 album will be gain further certifications. If the deluxe version of Three wasn't handled so horrifically it would be easily double platinum by now.

 

 

They have around 13 million UK sales which is astonishing.

Great to see this! As you say, III should definitely hit double platinum sooner rather than later. Would love TTAP to reach triple platinum!

 

Hope Wonderland can reach platinum (considering a non-Xmas sales climate)

Yes, i hope Wonderland can also reach platinum. I cant see the album selling as good as Three but my hopes are it will manage 400,000.

Wow, the sales figures for III have really surprised me (in a bad way).

 

In my head, I still think of Take That as the biggest band in the country. But to see that III has only sold around a quarter of the previous 3 studio albums its making me wonder where it all went wrong. Where have 3/4 of the fans gone??!!

 

I recall Gary saying in the These Days documentary that he was dreading the time when people are not interested in their new music, as it happens to even the best of artists. I really hope Wonderland is not that Take That's Rudebox. :w00t: :w00t: :w00t:

Looking at the sales climat right now, I'd say III did very well - it didn't do great by Take That's previous standards, but, when compared to most artists, it did amazingly well.

I agree to be close to double platinum is very good - also they only managed 1 hit so didn't have constant single smashes to keep the album selling.

Mods can you get involved with the AF Greatest Hits competition please. Check the AF mods forum.

'Ultimate Collection' #58 in the mids - If it hold onto a Top 75 placing it will be its first Top 75 appearance since May 2014.

Great stuff! I would assume a new GH will canabilise future NF sales, so it's great to see it still racking up sales

Will do! Thanks for the heads up!

Mods, you're one of the few not to have your song selection process going for the AFSC. I'm going to throw out Rule The World as my favourite to get you going

Yep, all happening currently. Looks like Rule The World is the favourite so far!

im just after spotting that the ultimate collection is still in the top 75 at number 70 this week, that should be about another 1,500 sales for them.

With the new album almost here and if they promote, The Ultimate Collection could stay around for a couple of weeks.
