  1. They didn’t chart in the official top 100? I’m not that surprised, the response to the song on the forums I frequent has been pretty lukewarm.
  2. Duet version with Leona Lewis will be released soon. Here's the preview: https://twitter.com/calumscott/status/961299044713844736
  3. According to their social medias, they are currently on summer vacation. I guess the "New Day" and "Wonderland" promotions are not happening.
  4. Gary confirmed that they are performing 3 songs tonight. My guess is "Back For Good", "Shine" and "Rule The World". https://twitter.com/GaryBarlow/status/871379677058879488
  5. https://twitter.com/BBCBreaking/status/869573906503434240 http://www.ticketmaster.co.uk/arianagrandemanchester Take That is performing at the Manchester benefit concert this Sunday alongside Ariana Grande, Justin Bieber, Coldplay, Katy Perry, Miley Cyrus, Pharrell Williams, Usher and Niall Horan. Tickets go on sale this Thursday and all proceeds will go to the We Love Manchester Emergency Fund. BBC radio and TV will also broadcast the concert live.
  6. They will be premiering different tracks from the album every day on BBC Radio 2: https://twitter.com/takethat/status/843492274923159552
  7. Official music video for "Giants": Better late than never
  8. Good thing TT postponed the album by a week, because Drake is releasing his album March 18.
  9. Drake is apparently releasing his album as early as this weekend (but definitely sometime this month). His last album opened with 78K, but he has sine become a streaming force in the UK and could challenge TT if he releases on the 24th, not to mention Ed Sheeran's dominance (he already sold 590K, more than Progress's 520K) :cry: I hope the special does wonders for them. Anyone know if they filmed it yet? Also, when is the Giants video coming out? http://m.hitsdailydouble.com/news&id=305282
  10. "Giants" is #92 on the charts this week (#39 based on sales only). Streaming is killing them big time. :blink:
  11. Top 20, hopefully top 10 They really should've released the video with the single and promoted the song on Let It Shine. I don't know what their plan is.
  12. TT is appearing on The Late Late Show With James Corden next week http://pbs.twimg.com/media/C2hoAAHXAAAZsk4.jpg
  13. According to Amazon, their single, "Giants", will be released on February 10th https://www.amazon.co.uk/Giants-Take-That/d...8427&sr=8-4
  14. The UK has adopted on air on sale since they agreed to last year's global release date. No artist has used delayed release since July 2015.
  15. Off the top of my head: Robbie, Alicia Keys, Bruno Mars, Little Mix, The Weeknd
  16. Howard is expecting baby #4. Congratulations to him and his wife Katie. https://twitter.com/HowardDonald/status/785...4563200?lang=en
  17. 45 countries including the US, UK, Germany and Australia signed an agreement last year making Friday the global release day. In the past, Australia and NZ would get new music on Friday, US and Canada on Tuesday, then Ireland and UK would typically get the song a month or two later. This new initiative made sure that new music would be globally available at the same time (every Friday), eliminating delayed release. Since Friday July 10, 2015, no artist to my knowledge has used the traditional delayed release in the UK and Ireland. This article might help you better understand the global release day initiative: http://www.billboard.com/articles/news/659..._source=twitter
  18. I have a feeling their song's gonna get the on air/on sale strategy. Hasn't the UK music industry pretty much adopted this policy in the last year to combat piracy and to take advantage of streaming? TT already released "Hey Boy" and "Cry" using OAOS
  19. According to Gary's Twitter, TT's still in the studio finishing their album, and they will announce album and tour news at the end of October.
  20. Backstreet Boys will have their residency in March and June 2017, and Britney and J.Lo have more shows there next year, so maybe that's why TT pushed back their residency.
  21. Not true. Simon Fuller sued Cowell for copying AI and tried to get producer credit on XFUS. The case was settled out of court.
  22. What we know about next album and 25th anniversary: 1. Robbie will return for 25th anniversary, Jason unlikely 2. Their next album will be out at the end of the year and is a hybrid between their electronic and acoustic stuff https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/13280...xclusive-yacht/
  23. They're still missing Apple Music and Spotify streams from Tuesday. I hope they don't fall much tomorrow :unsure: I actually remember reading (on Popjustice, Digital Spy or ATRL) that inclusion of streaming on the charts is good since it would remove the ageism effect imposed by radios, yet the opposite seems to be happening where younger artists are dominating the top 40 while older acts are struggling because of streaming.
