Great for him to have a top 5 album!

Take That HQ have been emailing people with an offer on the album today - hopefully that helps

It’s crazy that the art of doing nothing is his highest charting record to date, at 29. This will be his first top 10, I hope!

Love this!!! Top 5 album hopefully! Does he have any promo lined up? Would be amazing if he made number 1

Gone, gone, gone is great! And the three singles too

Would love to see Mark Owen get a top 5 this week

Wish I was! Excited to see him do well with this album

Yeah, I’m really enjoying the first 3 songs. Love the falsetto in “are you looking for billy?” - hope this album makes the top 10!

Great move for Mark! Wonder what that means for the TT relationship with Polydor

Take That’s Mark Owen has signed a brand-new wide-ranging global deal with BMG. The agreement spans from new recordings to the publishing of his future solo works and songs written with Take That. Owen, who as part of Take That sold over 45 million albums alongside a solo career, released his new single You Only Want Me on May 19. The track is the first taster of his first solo record in almost a decade, Land Of Dreams, set for release on September 23 via BMG. Mark Owen said: “I am super excited to sign with BMG, they are a great team full of inspiration and ambition and I can’t wait for the world to hear my new record.” Chris Dempsey, UK Managing Director at YM&U Group, said: “Mark is an artist at the peak of his powers and his new music is incredible. It was important to him that he joined forces with a team who shared his creative vision and passion and in BMG he's definitely done that.” Alistair Norbury, BMG president repertoire & marketing UK, said: “We are delighted to welcome one of Britain’s best-loved artists to BMG, both as a songwriter and recording artist. With a 30-year career behind him, Mark has a unique ability to connect with music fans of every generation. It’s a pleasure to work with him.” You Only Want Me was written by Mark Owen and PureCut/BMG songwriter Will Bloomfield (The Vaccines, Freya Ridings, Tom Grennan, Holly Humberstone) and was produced by Jennifer Decilveo (Miley Cyrus, Marina, Anne-Marie, Demi Lovato). Owen also announced a short UK run of dates, visiting Bristol, Manchester, Glasgow, and London. The Land of Dreams tour kicks off in Bristol on October 16. As part of Take That, Mark Owen won eight BRIT Awards, scored 12 UK No.1 singles, eight UK No.1 albums, sold over 45 million records, and played live to millions of fans around the world. Owen released his first solo album, Green Man, after the band first split in 1996, and, since then, he has released a further four solo albums. His last, 2013’s The Art Of Doing Nothing, was his highest-charting album to date.

This has been announced: the album will be called “Land of Dreams”

Howard has been posting pics of him recording in the studio! Looks like we might be getting a record this year.

Guvna B for #1!

I reckon it’ll turn gold eventually. Could be 5 years, but I think it’ll get there. It must be around 40k sales now?

Did something happen with Sheridan? Thought she’d have performed with Gary and Strictly and during the tour?
