Really enjoyed the documentary tonight, and it was lovely to see their mum’s included too, including Jason’s (who seemed like she’d love him to rejoin). Did anyone else see it yet? Struck me how much it felt like a Take That for the record Part II. Perhaps next time we’ll finally get all 5 looking back together for their 40th!

Merry Christmas to you all and your families, all the way from the Take That topic :lol:

A very happy Christmas and new year to you and your families!

Fantastic result today! Hoping for strong sales over the weekend and Xmas Eve now! On slightly separate news...looks like the world tour is off due to an illness in Gary’s family: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/artic...ly-illness.html

Looks like we’re looking at 200k before Xmas - ideally platinum leading up to the tour

Pippa, you can now buy the cassette on the website for a limited time: http://store.universalmusic.com/takethat/*...tte/5ZDS0000000

What a load of rubbish.

It sounds a little like it could have been on Mark’s last studio album - at least, I thought that today when I listened to it. Good to see TT back in the top 5 in today’s midweeks. 25k sold

Fantastic, excellent choice is single. Amazes me how different the album sales climate is compared to 10 years ago. The number 1 would be selling well into the hundreds of thousands

Surprised there’s nothing from Australia, Austria, Switzerland etc

Thanks nirvana! The TT special on BBC will air on 28th Dec at 7pm

The better they do the more likely they’ll come back again with new material in 3 or 4 years I guess. I’m just going to enjoy them now, as it’ll be a while before we see them promoting or heading out on tour again

I think I might have got caught up in the romance of it all! Friends of mine though liked it, and they’d usually not like it :lol:

I thought both sounded fine to be honest - but yes, would have like a Greatest Day at the start or something. Hope we get a good bounce on sales now!

For those who haven’t seen the performance: https://youtu.be/lpGbznZtWVs

I would have loved Never Forget to finish, but it was nice to see them back. And also to silence those who think TT and Rob fell out again

Loved seeing Robbie back with TT! Excellent performance!

Loved seeing the band back together again!! Great performance!

Really enjoyed the performance tonight! TT 3 sung Shine, and then Robbie got up to join them with Everything Changes! Lovely to see them all together again, and for Mark to sing lead for once at the XF

Robbie was fantastic last night, delighted for him

You can make that collection with a Spotify or apple playlist! Hence why they decided to change it up here and there.

Scotland is part of the UK...didn’t realise it charts separately? Great debuts so far!

From Music Week: Take That rack up the eighth No.1 album of their career, and their first for exactly four years, as new compilation Odyssey debuts at No.1. Not just any greatest hits collection, Odyssey features Take That favourites ‘re-imagined with new productions’, interview ‘interludes’ and a trio of new songs. Whatever the mixture, it adds up to a winning formula, as the set dashes to first week sales of 105,721 copies (including 1,765 from sales-equivalent streams and 891 cassettes), the highest for a No.1 artist album since Eminem’s Revival sold 131,622 copies debuting at the summit some 49 weeks ago. It is the highest sale achieved by an artist compilation album (albeit one with some new content) since The Very Best Of Neil Diamond sold 110,214 copies while climbing 8-5 at Christmas 2012. Odyssey pushes Michael Buble’s new album, Love, down to No.2 on sales of 32,080 copies. Take That’s lead atop the chart, therefore, is 229.55% or 73,641 sales – the biggest gap between the top two on either metric since the chart for 16 October 2017, when Liam Gallagher’s first solo set, As You Were, sold 102,660 copies on its first week, a small matter of 731.25% (90,310) more than Giggs’ Wamp 2 Dem, which debuted at No.2, with 12,350 sales.

Fantastic result!!! Means I can change my signature to #10 for GB!!

Yeah, it was a difficult time to generate sales - especially with no second single (did they even promo New Day?)
