I still believe Take That could overtake Rihanna in overall sales.Well, even if Rihanna wins the race,only by VERY small amount. It's not like she's outselling them big time. Not at all. Thy are VERY close. TT are doing great on physicals, so there's still a chance. I blame their management really. They totally messed up their promo for the single. Shame.

I agree.. Howard's song should have been a hidden track not Jason's. Flowerbed is BRILLIANT! One of my faves definitely.

Jesus, Rihanna is only 1000 copies ahead... Come on, Take That!!!!!!!!!!!! There's still hope! With an album like this( yes, I've already heard it in full),you are more than deserve this number one spot!!!!!!

The album is leaked. I've listened to it already. Very different, but great. I love Kidz, Eight Letters and Happy Now the most.

Take That could still be selling well on physicals though. As i said previously, Itunes is not the only one retailer people would buy their music from. Besides, their documentary premieres tomorrow so there are going to be a lot of press coverage for them for the rest of the week.Should boost their sales, i think.

If TT are number one this week no matter all these negative predictions, this will be such a big achievement for them. I mean,they will prove they don't need X factor,they don't need any other promo at all yet they still can make it. Even though they're lazy bustards,fingers crossed for them.

I think everyone is so surprised TT aren't leading on Itunes at the moment considering all the airplay and press coverage they're getting, they automatically think Rihanna will DEFINITELY be number one then..But she really might be not. It's too early to celebrate for Rihanna fans and TT haters. Does anyone know if midweeks will be available today or tomorrow?

Is Rihanna's lead that big over TT? Because i don't see it personally. She's about 10% in the lead,yes, but i think Take That will fill this gap with physicals easily.I am really looking forward to midweeks now.

Maybe if they miss number one spot this time, they will learn a lesson or two at last. They really should work their arses off and FIGHT for their positions.Rule The World was under-promoted and as a result performed very poorly outside the Uk whereas it could have been a HUGE worldwide hit for them. But no.. they were too lazy to promote it properly for whatever reasons.. I think The Flood will suffer the same fate.It could be huge, but it wouldn't.

Why? They're doing just fine considering there's NO promo scheduled for this week at all. Their very first live performance is on Xfactor( 14 November). They will overtake Rihanna during the week anyway.. plus they're releasing The Flood on both CD AND DVD.So their sales will be good, i am sure.

Excuse me, but it is NOT Shame which was(sadly)quite mediocre.The Flood is epic and will be huge.Just wait and see.

Take That WILL overtake Rihanna! It's just a matter of time.

I predict 100-150k... I don't know whether they are going to do any promo for the single as their very first live performance with the Flood is on 14th November...

According to www.billetnet.dk Parken / Copenhagen is now completely sold out. Both danish and dutch websites were crushed today. The demand is huge.

Please... boyband? They are hardly a "boyband" anymore. They transformed into a credible pop band.With a little help of Robbie's "mega-star" status and luck, i am sure general puplic will accept them with open arms!

800,000?Really?I thought it was over 600,000 for the opening week? Anyway, i agree, it would be hard to beat those monster sales...Oh,well, I want them to beat The Circus opening week sales at least then.

I really really want it to beat Oasis "Be Here Now" record and become" the fastest selling album in the UK of all time" but it wont happen...I predict 450-500 for its opening week, total in the UK-around 3,000,000. Worldwide,considering''Robbie factor'': 5,000,000-6,000,000 I think they will sell + 1,000,000 in Germany along, as they are really big over there. Progress might become the bestselling TT album for the past 20 years. Robbie's comeback will benefit both parties.I am so glad he rejoined the band.

Now i am almost sure The Flood WONT make it to number one because of THIS: http://swns.com/take-that-and-robbie-willi...nce-031212.html

If only all those people who bought + 1 million tickets for their Progress Tour would buy their single and album as well, TT will be number one for weeks and weeks and weeks....

To quote Gary: if they can pull off what they are hoping to pull off, it could change stadium gigs for ever. The original line-up performing together might be a one-off. I think, it's a historical moment for every fan of pop-music in general regardless whether they are TT\Robbie fans. If you have the opportunity to go, don't miss your chance,you might regret it later!

Why would they do it?Avoided Jls just to face Xfactor single? No sense at all as Xfactor was way more serious competitor than Jls and Westlife put together.

There's just no way!!! The Circus opening week sales were twice as much as Jls debut album sales. Progress will be even bigger, i am sure.

She's releasing on 8th,so i highly doubt. TT will do a double whammy.

Apparently The X Factor single has been moved to 21st November.

About Westlife,it's true: their album is out November 22, single- November 15. Westlife are so pathetic, its sick.. why would they change their dates? As if they stand a chance against Jls anyway.They shouldn't even bother.
