I think they will release 2 more singles and that's it. I reckon they are going to be Reach Out and I'd wait for life since these tracks have a great response from the fans.

Rudbox Worldwide Sales: Nearly 3 Million The sales are too high to be true. There's no way Rudbox sales are almost 3 mil. I'd be suprised if its even 2 mil, not to say about 3mil.

Mine is Butterfly( a hidden track) I think its really amazing!

In Canada the album will be released febuary 6, not sure about North America. Why do u think they are going to flop in the US? James Blunt's doing just fine there with the album full of boring ballads !

Sorry, i dont get... they've sold one mil copies outside the Uk? So, overall sales are now over 2 mil or i misunderstood something?

There are only 11 tracks on this album and 2 upbeat songs are more than enough. I disagree it has 'too much' ballads. The only ballad is' I'd wait for life', the rest are midtempo ones.

I do think the next album will be out around early 2008 after their tour is finished.

No, I think TT will do arena tour definitely. In Germany maybe they'll do even some stadium gigs , they are quite big there. In Austia as well... Dino, u don't have faith in them, do u?

Actually, they are doing it all over Europe - Gary mentioned Swiss, Italy, Spain and also said that the definite dates and countries will be announced no less than in 2-3 weeks , we gotta wait and see.

I wonder where these sales figures came from, Scotty?

I am not sure about OZ, but they are doing Asia next..and then, probably Canada and America.

The reason why Beautiful World is in a top 10 in Europe is becouse it sells everywhere really. I mean in every country. They might not be on the high positions , but still they do have a dedicated fans just everywhere.

They never flopped there, Dino. Americans still rememver TT by their bestseller 'Back For Good' and it did great in America! Interscope signed a deal with Take That, so i guess they have faith in them, thats all that counts. Talking about boybands, i think that Bsb and Five could flop with their new stuff.I really dont see the real musicians in them. :puke2:

The difference between Bsb and TT- Bsb still could'nt grow and develop into a real band with the ability to write their own stuff- they still a manufactured group. Why would they go back to eurodance? Becouse their early albums used to sell a lot and when they tried to become " real' (although they still have'nt written Never Gone themselves) and produced an album full of 'rock', this album was'nt selling that good. And they knew it. I think its time for them to call it a day.

What a cool Robbie's pic ...where can i get this photoshoot?

Someone mentioned 5ive over here.. i've just recently found out that they reunited straight after Take That)))LMAO How pathetic.. This band always was talentless , they were even worser than Pondlife so why would they bother now? They would be the hugest flop ever, i am pretty confident :lol: Their jealousy is such a big turn off for me personally :puke2:

With those chart rules changes, WL wont get a number one so easily anymore!

To be honest, to give Robbie an award and nominate him just becouse he's the best selling british singer is a total bull$h!t. Last year , Robbie has'nt done anything outstanding ( i would'nt give him an award for the Rudbox) except for the big tour , besides, i am almost confident that Take That will win 'best live act', not Robbie. Their tour last year was also huge and caused much more agiotage than Robbie's.

I thought Westlife have moved their date release and its now on febuary, 5th? :o Anyway, i am more than sure TT will beat them :dance:

Well, i am a HUGE fan of 90-s as well. I just love euro dance music and love the old Take That sound. But these days it would sound too dated, if they ever released an album like this, and i doubt it could be that successful to be honest. Unfortunately, we cant turn back the time. Take that have always been a flexible band , they are able to produce different styles of music relate to different people with their defferent tastes. This is a rare ability for a band and even more rare for a boyband. :D I am not disappointed with the new album at all, it has some really great tracks on. I remember Gary said some time ago that a couple of tracks from this release could do even better than Back For Good :blink: I wonder which ones he meant?

I am not so sure about this though i dont live in Australia and never did. Obviously, there are some RW fans who just dont want Take That to look good in someone's eyes and cant cope with the fact Take That were really big and still are. :D This phenomenon Take That's success really annoys a lot of Robbie's fans , lets face it, and i personally know very few of them who are just ok with it. It also caused some friction between legions of TT and Robbie fans. Now when the boys broke this stereotype -' Robbie's a huge star and the rest are losers' , there would be a lot of TT dissing , i presume. If you think that Take That are only huge in the Uk, you 're completely wrong. They are number one in the European chart for several weeks so far and the album is just doing great. It sells good almost all over Europe and i am sure when they release it in Asia, Oceania and America, it will be selling good there too. Bsb might have sold more albums worlwide but i really think that their success was artificial . They almost didnt write their own songs and all their main hits were written by the swedish jenious Max Martin . For me, they always were too manufactured and i really cant refer their success to the guys themselves. All the work was done by other people for them. Though, i must admit, i do love their early albums and they have great voices. Besides, we could see how Backstreet Boys became degraded - from the huge selling Millenium and Black& Blue to the almost flopped Never Gone( only 2 mil sales worldwide) .And again , it wasnt composed by the members of the band. Take That, vice versa, could actually top their previous success - their new seld-penned album happened to be their best seller so far. Well, at least, it has a tendency to become their best seller.

Well, actually i dont know what you mean by the world ' big', but i remember back in 94 i watched a tv show called' Ozone' and they did a special with Take That in Australia. It was definitely a pre Back For Good era. I think they did some promo for Everything Changes over there. And i remember all these screaming girls in Australia, so i also always thought they were quite popular there way before BFG was even released. Anyway, Back For Good single went platinum in OZ and they definitely did some gigs in Sydney and Melbourne which were all sold out. I think they will release Beautiful World in Australia around febuary- march . I heard they're doing a world tour later this year and they are planning to visit OZ also. So, yes, they are definitely will do loads of promo in Australia.

after 6 weeks at number one :) It still sells good though .. hopefully after a good promo in Asia they will sell even more. Its an exellent album actually.

Its not a rumour , they are doing a musical. LMAO)))

Does anyone know the Uk and ww sales for Rudbox so far?? My friend claims its over 2 mil, but i could swear i read somewhere its only about 1m600k ww??? I am confused..
