I had a feeling this would be a song that Take That fans would be a little unsure of and non Take That fans would warm up to. I feel no shame in saying I love Take That, but I adore this song. It's repetitive but I love how it sounds. It's very uplifting. I'll be getting the album at some point but I like to get the singles for the B-sides so I went right ahead and did that. Sleepwalking is a lovely song but GD reminds me of someone so I personally like it more. It doesn't come close to Rule The World but that was such an amazing song that I never expected anything to. Right now I'm happy to see that it's set to go to number 1. I hope it does. :)

I only saw one or two episodes of it (I've forgot it's been on ever since). I was really excited to watch it because of the involvement of Gary and Mark writing some of the songs for it, but the actual show... well, I wouldn't say it was bad but I read how it would be the UK's answer to High School Musical so I was expecting a bit more, er, music. I don't mind the stories in it, or the acting, or the singing - but it needs more of the latter. I hope it does well though because at least it's a bit different to other things shown on TV. Isn't Arlene "Strictly Come Dancing judge" Philips the brains behind this? If it all goes wrong I think it'll be all on her rather than any of the songwriters.

I'm glad the reviews are pretty good overall, I'm really looking forward to this album. The only thing bugging me is the way the reviews say things like "who knew the dancers could sing?" Well... last I heard, Never Forget was mainly by Howard as were two songs on the BW album. Jason sang a song on there too. My favourite is Gary but it bothers me that others can be dismissed so easily when the band is made up of 4 members that all give it their all.

Not quite true. From their official site: "Make sure you tune in to Children In Need on BBC1 tonight as Take That have recorded a special fundraising film!" That means, although they won't be performing, people will see them throughout the show anyway. I think Kylie will overtake regardless but I bet it boosts TT sales slightly also.

Poor Howard. I guess it must be disappointing for the fans who want to see him but even MORE fans would be disappointed if they cancelled. Hope he gets better soon.

I read that this morning. :lol: I think it's very sweet. I've always liked BSB (even if my favourite has left) and love their new single. :wub:

Like a few others I hope it could be TT but it's doubtful. I think it will be Spice Girls because it's not just that they're returning (like Kylie) but it's also for charity. Double whammy. I have my fingers crossed that it's really anyone but Westlife. They're not bad singers by any means but I believe something should only be covered if it's better or different than the original and it puts me off even more when the original isn't even that old.

I voted top 5 just because I have no idea what it sounds like (YouTube videos not available) and I don't know what else will be out at that time. I'm sure it being the Spice Girls and for charity it'll sail to number 1 however it sounds though.

:dance: As a fan, I'm glad Take That are doing so well. Sales are more important that where it ends up in the chart. Personally I love the song and it's one of my favourites this year so I hope it has some staying power. Even though I've not heard the song all way through, it's great that Leona is doing so well. I'm not a fan per se but she was my favourite on X Factor and I thought she deserved to win. It's a shame to see the TT / Leona rivalry in this thread as they helped one another only last year (I'm sure she would have won without their "duet", but I think it probably got a lot of TT fans to vote for her and some Leona fans to take some interest in them). I really like Britney's new song. Might not be her best, but it's memorable. Not took keen on the video but the song is good. My biggest surprise was that Backstreet Boys aren't in the top 20. It's similar to some of their other songs but I think it's great.
