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.

Jls have nothing to do with their decision. Gary said himself that they moved it because of demand. And with the documentary and Xfactor performance on November,14 the album will be absolutely massive.. Not sure about the single though.. but it's strong enough to compete with Xfactor song, I guess.

Don't be so ignorant. JLS WONT have a number one album as Gary said today on Radio 1 the preoders are HUGE.. they could easily beat Oasis record actually. The second week will be just as strong as their first week( i reckon +300k), Jls wont do more than 200k anyway. In the album battle they dont stand a chance... As for the single The Flood, i am worried because of Xfactor.. but then again,as Gary said, the demand is enormous they had to move their release date. We'll see what happens.

It's different. I can't compare it to RTW or Patience because this song is a major departure from what they've done previously.I've never heard anything quite like this before. What is it? Techno-rock?They have created something absolutely new as far as sound goes.. Outstanding! I am glad it's getting rave reviews from both TT and Robbie fanbases.It will be absolutely massive.They just need some good promo and it will easily outsell ''Rule The World'' (their biggest seller since reunion). Tremendous song!!! Well done, Take That.

Rob and Gary were AMAZING today on radio 1,BBC. They did and acoustic version of Shame and Robbie sang Shine which suited his voice just perfectly. Also they are on Paul O'Grady tomorrow so it should boost their sales. How big is the gap between them and Cee-Lo Green anyway?

Those fans will be first in line for this album,believe me. Well, they could beat Oasis if the single is strong. Because anticipation for this album is enormous. People(even none fans) will buy it because practically everyone is curious about what this TT\Robbie album will sound like. This album could do anything from 300k to 1 million on its first week.. Lets just wait and see.

Take That actually outsold her with The Circus album. She sold 411,000 first week, TT-423,000. This time,I think, her sales wont be that high.The hype is not the same anymore. Whereas Take That,on the other hand, probably will sell even more this time. Their reunion with Robbie is hyped up to high heaven. The sales will be MASSIVE. As for the single..JLS' single is nothing special at all. Yes, i know they have a big following. But TT have an advantage. People will buy it because of the epicness of it all. Because Robbie Williams back to Take That IS an epic thing.Plus they have TT fanbase AND Robbie fanbase. Both are huge. JLS have no chance,IMO.

Apparently,Take That's new album is called "Progress" out on November, 22. http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/showb...l-Progress.html

I am surprised some of you see JLS as Take That competition. Their new album is going to be massive.Easily 500-600k on its opening week.Can't see JLS selling this amount even with multiply album sleeves.

As i said, Mark's voice has some jingling sound to it.It feels like his voice vibrates while singing.‎ To me, it's kinda off putting,sorry. I've seen quite a few their perfomances and he sounds out of tune most of the time.Mark's voice is limited to a certain degree where he only can show off his ability in singing power ballads or soul\'rnb. A good capable vocalist can sing EVERYTHING. And Gary's a perfect example of a perfectly capable vocalist. Regarding their songwriting abilities, don't even get me started. As for the new album- Is it even normal to record an album in 10 days these days?(because that's what Westlife did).I mean,Take That took 2 years off to write and record an album.They were ALL involved in this creative process putting their ideas together.They are a serious, credible band unlike Westlife. They probably thought he could write another Patience or Rule The World for them...Little did they know it was TT members who wrote these pop classic hits not Shanks.I am glad TT were smart enough to get rid of him this time. He started to bore the hell outta me. His works sound repetitive. This particular song "Safe" already bored me to death even though i haven't heard it in HQ yet. Lets just hope Westlife won't steel TT's producer STUART PRICE for their next album because thats what they do for the past years- copy Take That in every possible way. As Jason Orange said:" "Imitation Is The Best Form Of Flattery". I am sure Take That boys wouldn't mind.

Wow... Westlife fans are so delusional, it's ridiculous. Gary's an amazing vocalist as well as Robbie and the other 3(Jay, Howard and Mark) are not bad either.At least, they are definitely way better than those blond guys from Westlife. Nicky and Kein? Sorry, i don't know their names. I actually don't understand why they were chosen to be in a music band in the first place? They have no talent whatsoever. Gary's voice is so flexibile and smooth.. and it's CLASSY. He has such a wide vocal range he could sing EVERYTHING.Those 2 pathetic Wl fans obviously have never heard TT live.As for Westlife. Well, I for one, can't stand WL's gay one( Mark?) singing. He ALWAYS sounds like he's singing through his nose as if he has cold or someting. This ''stuffy nose'' way of singing annoys me so much. As for Shane, he always sounds the same. There's no passion, no emotions in his voice. It's flat, it's dire, it's forgettable. At least, you can always define Robbie by his UNIQUE vocals. Westlife? Blunt, dull, boring, talentless...

According to http://www.worldwidealbums.net/, Back Home album sales are 1,2 mil worldwide, so they just managed around+200k outside the UK..... The Love Album-1,5 million,by the way. There's just NO way the 43 million figure is accurate.The only way the 43 million figure is not made up if Coast to Coast and World of Our Own albums sold +10 million each worldwide. And what about this ''4 Brit Awards''claim? You still don't believe that Simon Cowell/X Factor would lie? :lol:

How's that possible?, Their last album Back Home only sold 900k in the Uk and their biggest selling album to date(CTC) sold around 1,4 million( quite average sales compared to the likes of (Oasis, Coldplay, Take That, Dido, Robbie)! ))))))) Not to say other abums sales were very mediocre ( all just under mil).... Besides, they just couldnt sold 3,5 million in one year since Back Home flopped almost everywhere where it was released. So the 43 mil figure is definitely FAKE. Why would Simon lie about their achievements? I don't get it.

According to this vid X Factor - Westlife - What About Now - HQ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LDXkvxMh_e8 Westlife won 4(!!!!!!!) Brit Awards? :o ARE the biggest selling band in the UK :huh: and sold over 43 million records(considering last time they claimed 40 mil) :lol: How desperate and pathetic are they? Simon, what's wrong with you? :(

I don't get it ..Is Cheryl still at number one? I thought those karaoke singers knocked her off the number one pot?

OMG,i've just seen Pondlife's perfomance on Xfactor... Are they trying to be TAKE THAT or what? They are so pathetic. Will download Daughtry's version even though i find the song quite mediocre.
