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..

I was wondering this too since i dont remember them being THAT big to sell this much. :unsure: Hi, thanks for your welcoming :) I've been cheking this forum for a long time, but I've just recently decided to join, i think its time :D

Does anyone know how much the following boybands have sold in the Uk and also worldwide ( overall) - Blue, Five and Boyzone?

By the way, sorry for the off-topic,but can someone post the UK and WW sales for Five, Boyzone and Blue???

Where can i find the full list of the 90-s bestsellers?? The sales are inaccurate , i am sure. I mean, with that hysteria and agiotage about Rob's departure and then the split, they definitely must have sold a LOT more . Nobody Else was their last studio album.

From http://www.bpi.co.uk/ : TAKE THAT , NOBODY ELSE , Platinum , Mon May 1 1995 TAKE THAT , NOBODY ELSE , 2 x Platinum , Mon May 1 1995 How the fook they managed to get double platinum in just one day?? Seems like the sales were over after the album was certified 2platinum.LMAO. Very weird. I still do think they've sold a lot more than 600 k in the UK. I started to doubt this site is reliable.

Does anyone know how's Beautiful World doing at the moment? Could it be number one for the 6th week?

WL definitely have sold a lot less than 30 mil worldwide, that's for sure. And i would'nt say 'They have sold in Asia in China in Australia in Philippines, everywhere except America. ' This is totally bull$h!t. Yes, they did sell a couple of mil in Asia when they were on peak( when Brian was still in the band) , but that's it. The real success they have is only in the UK and the tiny Ireland.

Dino, all sales you posted here are made up!!! Westlife sold 40 mil??? LMAO. The band who has only regional succsess could'nt sell this much. About 15 mil worldwide, i'd say. Five 's sales are also seem weird.. They sold max- 15 mil worldwide, not 20 definitely. Someone mentioned TT sold only 600k of the Nobody Else album in the Uk.. hello, it has Back For Good and Never Forget on, it was sold a lot more than just 600k. Take That sold 25 mil world wide first time around, in 10 years they have sold at least a couple of more mil, so to this day they've must sold + 30 mil world wide !
