This is the new song - it's more of a tribute to the fans and a recap of his life. you can find the lyrics on Gary's twitter. https://twitter.com/santinagi/status/985967183871307776

I really love Open Road, but, to me, it's a really sad song, cause it obviously contains references to suicidal thoughts.

Completely agree. Although SISYL is my all time favorite album, 12 M 11 D is my 2nd fav album. Lie to Me and Walk are amazing songs that I'd like to see someday in the charts. in a new sounding form. Plus, the thing I hate the most about Open Road are the covers - Gary has never been the type of artist to cover other people's songs. And that awful Madonna track...ewww.

I don't know if Gary aims for the re-release of Open Road to do anything in the charts, but, so far, considering it has had 0 promotion, it's doing quite well: 21 on Amazon and 14 on iTunes + the pre-orders and hopefully the physical stores. I would die if he re-released 12 M 11D, it's still one of my favorites albums - it definitely beats Open Road - Lie to Me and Walk alone are better that most of the OR tracks. I hope Gary never again touches Love Won't Wait - him hating that song made me hate it as well.

I can vouch for Romania that Back for Good is their most popular song. I've NEVER heard Babe on the radio. It's Back for Good, Rule the World and Said It All here. iTunes is never an indicative for countries like mine.

They've just changed management. I'm hoping it's for the best, but, seeing the artists that agency handles, I'm not holding my breath. TT need a better label, better management,better PR.

The concert in Israel seems to have been a success. I loved how all the Israeli fans had balloons - to plan such a big surprise takes a lot of commitment. We tried to do it here for another artist, but had to change to something else because it would have been too expensive to buy so many balloons. I never expected that they'd be able to sell out a 8000 capacity arena in Israel. That shows that, despite not selling albums in these territories at the moment, they're still very popular and people are still interested in them.

Hi guys :) Been absent for a while. I expected the news of a new solo album very eagerly and was quite disappointed when I realized we wouldn't e getting one. But guess who is seeing Mr B on his solo tour in May, in London? :yahoo: :dance: :cheer: I still can't believe it'll be my first time abroad and it will be to see Gary. For me, it can't be May soon enough :) I'm still an optimist and hope for some more news for this year too - not necessarily a re-release of SISYL (although I'd love it), but at least some big concert or performance for the end of the year.

I was wondering: did those who went to see the concert on the 9th of June hear Bucharest say "Hello London?" :lol: This time, the crowd in the cine was much more alive than the last time. The cine was almost full and, after a shy start, people started cheering and applauding and really going for it. We did the whole Pray and NF arms routine and we were all laughing. Some people even got up to dance. I had to refrain myself and to dance in my seat, cause one girl next to me kept sending me murderous looks for singing all the time :lol: There was a little boy next to me who was completely enamoured with Gary :lol: He was doing and showing everything I wanted to :lol: I know that How Deep Is Your Love is not really appreciated by UK fans, but here, it got quite an unexpected reaction from the people in the cine. They really went wild for it and clapped a long time after it finished. The same went for Pray and BFG. And, from the new songs, people seemed really impressed with Hope and It's All For You - that or Gary's voice on those songs, I have no idea which one. The whole experience showed me that there'd be a public here for TT, in case they decided to come, and, at the same time, it made me sad, cause now I know what I'm missing out on :(

I think they'll be top 10 on Friday. Hopefully, with the tour they can get to 200k and then they'd need a really really well handled re-release to achieve platinum certification.

I'd give anything for that to be true. All Gary has to do, in order to put out a good album, is be himself and write the stuff the critics usually hate and we normally love :D Another album like SISYL and Finding Neverland would be perfect.

Overall sales: 175k. Had they released around Christmas, they'd have been platinum by now.

I'm going to see them in cinema in Bucharest :cheer: Although I'd give anything to actually see them live-live.

Saw the whole concert last night on periscope :dance: Really happy bunny here because of Hope and It's All For You. Don't shoot, but I thought Mark and Howard sounded really bad last night.

No matter what position TT are in the charts, they sell pretty much the same - 6-7k :lol:

Although I didn't feel like it, I still went back to the album and listened it again and I have to admit a lot of songs grew on me. I'd have loved for It's All For You, Hope or Come On Love to be the next single - even if they wouldn't impact the charts, they're still beautiful songs and they deserve some good videos. In today's political and social climate, It's All For You injects some hope. New Day is very cheery, who knows, maybe the young audiences will take to it. It's not single-worthy, but it does put a smile on your face.

I hope they can keep selling at this pace at least, so that they eventually get to platinum. Had they released in Q4, they wouldn't have had to struggle this much. Hopefully, the tour will keep the sales steady.

For me, the ranking would go like this: III BW Wonderland The Circus Progress I still believe III was their most mature album. Wonderland, in many ways, reminds me of The Circus.

My opinion as well ;)

I just think we should be looking out for boosts on Amazon, not iTunes. People who are really interested in the album will usually go on Amazon.

iTunes isn't very relevant to album sales.

For the 1st time since the album release, I really loved Wonderland. The haters on twitter will complain about anything.

From what I've read, they're only performing Wonderland, Giants and New Day from the new album :( I really wanted to hear more, especially It's All For You, Hope, Come On Love and Lucky Stars.

10.000 copies so far - pretty decent, imo.
