Gary was at Sarm Studios today with a host of music and football stars to make a video and cover single of Greatest Day as the Official World Cup song. The video will get it's first play on Sport Relief on Fri. March 21st. http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertai...eo-9170843.html

The date for This Morning is March 25th - 4 days before his tour begins in Belfast.

He filmed the video for the single today in London, partly on a rooftop. This Morning will be showing a behind the scenes video and interview in March.

Gary is performing small, competition winner only gigs on Sunday and Monday in Germany, for around 200 fans and will be interviewed on TV and Radio. Monday's gig in Mannheim can be heard online at this link : http://fb.me/6rsEfMbcs Randomly both Let Me Go and Face to Face are doing well in Iceland - at No.2 and No.16 respectively.

I was surprised and delighted to see it at No.6 after a disappointing mid-week position. It certainly seems to have staying power, which is fantastic!

Sunday Brunch is popular and is on throughout Sunday morning, with guests usually in the studio for the whole show. It doesn't have as much effect as the weekend evening chat shows, but it has to help a bit.

Polydor seem to do this with everything but the first release where TT and their solo releases are concerned. It is a mess indeed. Gary and Elton are due to appear on Sunday Brunch together and perform Face to Face in the next few weeks (date not stated yet) but whether this means the track will get a single release around that time or not, who knows?

I buy almost everything digitally, but for artists I particularly like I'll get a physical copy. Probably about an 80/20 split.

He was outside the Top 5 in the Tues mids, unfortunately.

I think Face to Face is dead in the water, I'm afraid. It isn't connecting with the public, for whatever reason, so despite good airplay levels I don't have high hopes for a decent chart position.

That information is available here :http://celebritain.com/ but I would take anything they say with a pinch of salt. They make it up as they go along. The sales they quote for Gary on their site are, in fact, Robbie's total sales. They're not the brightest.

Part 1 Part 2

Hope everyone had a great Christmas. I'm very happy to see the album back at No.2 with strong sales. I'm sure it'll reach double platinum during January. :)

Thanks for the link to Ross King's piece. Lovely read. I'm thrilled at the sales so far, it's wonderful and just what was needed. I hope he does another solo project within the next 3 years. If TT have an album in 2014 and a tour in 2015, then I'll be looking for another album from Gary in 2016. I'm an eternal optimist.

I love the song. He edited it slightly so that the lyric fitted perfectly to the theme of the evening and the videos they showed during part of his performance. He sang it beautifully and it was pretty moving tbh.

The album will get a bit of exposure tonight as Gary is performing 'We Like to Love' live on Text Santa on ITV1.

28.7k in todays mids, still at 3 behind Robbie, who is 4.3k ahead and 1D leading him by 700 copies.

I'm puzzled by that figure. Open Road is widely reported to have sold over 2 million worldwide, to date.

The album sold 33.7k by the mid-week point last week, so it's slightly up on that at 37k in this weeks mids. 1D are still at 1, with Robbie just 1k behind them. Gary is trailing by almost 10k behind Robbie, sadly, but comfortably ahead of Olly and Buble at #4 and #5.

Robbie is a few thousand ahead and just 250 behind No.1.

I've been thinking about this and am very interested in others thoughts. Not many of the tracks have a strong hook, or a commercial feel, so it's hard to decide what would have an impact. I think More Than Life is radio friendly (well Radio 2 friendly anyway ;-) ) It's got a great build and finish, which might catch attention.

I hadn't really noticed this thread, but I love this album - I've played it to death over the years, but acoustically it sounds even better. Off to order it now!

Next Wednesday he's on with Ken Bruce in the morning, Steve Wright in the afternoon and live on BBC website and red button at 8pm for the concert. Face to Face is being performed on the final X Factor Show on Sunday 15th and the Afghanistan documentary is being aired at 9pm on Dec 21st on ITV1. A week later he also has the BBC1 New Year's Eve TV show, Gary Barlow's Big Ben Bash, 11.15pm - 1am. Hopefully all that lot will keep the album selling into 2014. :-)

I suspect it'll be largely a crowd pleasing set. Hopefully including some swing and other covers, not just TT stuff. It sold out in 20 mins this morning, btw.
