i love thunder.

i'm not streaming since I don't think it's good for the industry. I bought Nelly Furtado's new album The Ride on CD instead.

I think their latest chart-debuts are pretty fantastic in Europe and worldwide. #2 - United Kingdom #3 - Ireland #19 - Germany #28 - Australia #36 - Italy #43 - Belgium (F) #48 - Netherlands #75 - Belgium (W) #168 - Japan I am very pleased with the German ranking. One could assume a solid 3,5k from Germany in week 1. I am very curious about Austria, Switzerland, France, Spain, Denmark, Norway, Sweden and other EU markets. BTW is anyone else hardcorely in LOVE with "Come on Love"? I worship right now. My final verdict on Wonderland 9 days into the era is that I believe it it is slightly better than the outstanding III album.

new day? really...? they reall unlearned how to release the best songs on their albums.

I'm so obsessed with wonderland. Look at my lastfm: (2011-) 01 - 2.454 - III 02 - 0.395 - Wonderland* 03 - 0.267 - Progress Live 04 - 0.186 - Never Forget Ultimate 05 - 0.181 - Progress 06 - 0.158 - The Circus 07 - 0.139 - Nobody Else 08 - 0.118 - Beautiful World 09 - 0.094 - Everything Changes 10 - 0.061 - Progressed 11 - 0.014 - TT & Party 12 - 0.012 - The Greatest Day Live *debut Progress is only so low because I joined in October 2011 and by then my hype was already gone... otherwise the album would have 3,000 scrobbles.

amazing that we can expect a #1 debut in the UK... wonderland is amazing.

i love the album. totally unexpected after that dreadful first single: Party like a Russian. The album is vintage robbie with some spices of rudebox and previous albums. such a great return of my king.

ayda is very beautiful.

Sing when you're winning. IT turned me into a hardcore mega fan in 2000. I will always cherish it.

UK: week 01 - III - #1 - 144,598 - 144,598 week 02 - III - #6 - 71,711 - 216,309 week 03 - III - #5 - 86,256 - 302,565 week 04 - III - #5 - 76,497 - 379,062 week 05 - III - #12 - 18,433 - 397,495 week 06 - III - #13 - 7,400* - 404,895* week 07 - III - #14 - 6,500* - 411,395* week 08 - III - #22 - 4,000* - 415,395* week 09 - III - #17 - 4,800* - 420,195* Ireland: week 01 - III - #10 week 02 - III - #11 week 03 - III - #10 week 04 - III - #6 week 05 - III - #10 week 06 - III - #12 week 07 - III - #15 week 08 - III - #23 week 09 - III - #17 Those are the 2 markets where the album has become a success.. I think Platinum in Ireland is still on. After the tour, III should be at platinum. As for the UK.. i so hope the tour will catapult the album back into the top 10. Maybe 2-3 weeks in the top 10 is all they need to hit double platinum. The album will be at 500k by the time the tour starts.

Seems like sales for the whole era are way done in general but stil outstanding when put against 99% of all other acts: These Days: 300k III: 415k III is down to #22 this week. previous week #14 (7 new entries above them this week). Sales must be arund 4,000.

I love Bullet so much. That song is an anthem. OMG so good.

:wub: love robbie's new album tbh. Under The Radar is great. III is outstanding though. I'm so happy with the sound and direction of the album. Only that Gary sings 75% of all the tracks irks me a little, because i'm #teamHoward. Mark's songs are all amazing, especially Do It All For Love. Such a smash. I just downloaded the 2 additional tracks from the deluxe (Fall down at your feet and if it's not love) they are good too. III is a great album and I hope it goes at least triple platinum in the UK. If they sell as much as Ed Sheeran did up till now then they've totally smashed again. Nobody sells like TT. The new tour in 2015 should be smashing hard as well. TT have long become the biggest live act ever.

Mariah <3

the bonus tracks are all absolutely outstanding and brilliant. do it all for love is my fave from the whole album.

i ordered the digital version and the signed copy today. does anybody know what i have to do now that i paid for the digital version and received a confirmation email? i somehow don't know where i can download it from. there are no instructions.???

i highly doubt that III entered the german albums chart at #58. It will def. debut in the top 10 for sure. german has a revenue chart and their album is very expensive (deluxe edition). Idk where you get this #58 position from. The album came out on friday and did obviously not make any german albums chart now. how would they? Their last album sold around 300,000 copies in Germany and obtained a platinum award.

as long as no TT member is a suporter of the cult that is Scientology, I'm fine with their "Believes" and views.

i'm impressed by the strong chart showings in the UK for several TT releases. I would bet my ass that the net studio album would also sell at least 1,5m there.

i think platinum = 200,000 is always in reach for Take That in Germany. <3

the album is now certified for having shipped 1,000,000 across the UK and Germany alone. It will get an IFPI Europe platinum award with their next update, I assume.

merry christmas y'all

albums stays at #1 in the three German markets: Germany (3 weeks #1), Switzerland (3 weeks #1) and Austria (5 weeks #1). Swings should be eligible for double platinum in Germany (400,000). Swings has probably shipped 1m copies between Germany (300k certified) and The UK (540k sold).
