The certifications are sales started from February 1994 which puts all those artists who released prior to that at a disadvantage when people compare and contrast. Some artists have their full sales accounted but older ones don't.

Ok so on wikipedia any song released prior to Feb 94 would need the shipment cert (physical) along with the issued BPI certification. Thank you.

So are all the BPI certs from Feb 1994 or November 2004 onwards? I'm a little confused by their metrics! Could someone explain it to me?

This always happens around this time of year August/September. Clearly someone is on annual leave and then has to rush through the certifications publically on return.

What do you think we will get instead if they stop touring?

I just wish they would tour more internationally like Westlife do.

From the documentary I would love You're a Superstar, Speak Without Words and Pray (original demo) released. That would be great.

Are they actually going to promote the documentary? I mean properly. Not just the UK, surprise surprise. I would have thought with Netflix putting this on a global platform they would have expected more promotion and foreign interviews from the group. It was made to tell their full story to those outside of the UK who are unfamiliar. It has done well in the places they have toured since their 2005 reunion namely Europe and Australia/New Zealand, Israel. Basically countries who have kept up with them. However, it defeats the purpose if you create something then just let it sit unknown in a vortex which is the case for Asia, Africa, North and South America. No one can hear your story if they don't know you exist. Had this been just on a UK platform fine but Elizabeth Smart has been doing interviews all around the world. As have individuals from all the other new content released. Thoughts? Surely I'm not the only one thinking this.

https://flixpatrol.com/title/take-that/ - Official chart positions. Number 1 (3): Denmark, Ireland, UK. Top 10. (25): Australia, Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Estonia, Finland, Germany, Hungary, Iceland, Israel, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Slovakia, Slovenia, Sweden, Switzerland. Worldwide: Number 8. Will update when more come in.

I thought the documentary was great. The only thing I would have liked is more time given to them as a three piece and the fact they managed a number 1 with These Days. I will be updating this post from tomorrow when the chart positions start coming in from Flix Patrol. https://flixpatrol.com/ Just glad it is finally out and people around the world get to see this documentary, unlike the previous ones.

The charts elsewhere represent his rash decision to release early. In the UK and Germany it wouldn't be an issue but indeed elsewhere it has split sales and placings. Westlife have just changed their Greatest Hits date from 13th Feb to 8th May due to scheduling conflict. Do we know who they are trying to avoid? It seems like all the older artists are at it now! Genuine question: If an older artist doesn't get a number 1 or top 10 album are they more likely to be dropped? Is that the fear?

In your opinion what do they have to do in order to re-sustain general interest? I would love an album with Robbie purely as that would be interesting and also a new iteration of the band we haven't seen or heard before. The 4 of them.

It is better than I thought it was going to be but like the fans say can't top the original. I think they would have been better off remixing an album track from The Circus instead.

A long-lost Take That track from 1992 called “Falling For You Girl” has been uncovered. https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/35097985/take-that-lost-single-best-ever/ This song was apparently recorded as the follow-up to Could It Be Magic, but for some reason it was never released. There’s a petition to get it released: https://chng.it/prBRBLQCG8

Agree 100%. I know Take That sold well for the times and far fewer songs reached Platinum but there are so many of their '90s songs which should be higher than they are. Pray still not being Platinum is the big one for me.
