I ended up rather liking that Mark Owen one, despite the cringey lyrics, but the Howard one is the problem for me. I hate his fat-tongued voice and the tune is a bit weedy. Jason's Flowerbed trumps them both for me! |

Yes, it really needs to be the next single. Going by its placement on the album, I reckon it will be. |

"Progress" apparently sold 235,000 copies in one day yesterday in the UK. They reckon it could possibly hit 600,000 by sunday, which would give them the second biggest opening sales week in history. *jaw drops* |

Take That LP posts huge sales MusicTake That's new album Progress has become the fastest selling album of the century, according to official figures. The Official Charts Company confirmed that the fully-reunited group's LP has sold over 235,000 copies. The one-day sales figure marks the biggest first day sales for an album this century and the highest number since Oasis's Be Here Now sold over 350,000 in 1997. "This is a phenomenal achievement from an already phenomenally successful band," Official Charts Company managing director Martin Talbot said. The LP's lead single 'The Flood' charted at number two in the UK last week. http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/music/news/a288057/take-that-lp-posts-huge-sales.html |

fuck me, that figure's INSANE. the circus opening week was about 400k and that seemed like an impossible feat to even come close to, let alone overcome it. riv was right, people don't bother that much with the single as they're bound to buy the album anyway.

Poor Jason. I never understand why he doesn't get more lead vocals. His voice is far, far more pleasant than Howard's or Mark's. And, now, when he does get a lead vocal it gets hidden or stuck as a bonus. Sad because "Flowerbed" is definitely better than "Affirmation" or "What Do You Want From Me?". |

Absolutely! His voice is rather lovely actually. Very soft and a lot more innately musical than Mark or Howard's. I'm pretty sure Mark still gets a lot of lead vocals purely because he was seen as "the cute one" back in the day. It's a shame though. |

Yeah, there is that. But, to be fair, as that documentary highlighted, he does seem to input a fair amount into the song writing process so that probably is a factor too. Listening back to the album again yesterday, though, I was quite surprised at just how much Williams sings in comparison to Barlow. (In fact, how much Owen sings in comparison to Barlow, too) It's almost like a Robbie and Friends collection at times. Speaking of the doco ... just how rough was Robbie Williams looking in it! I mean, I know he's gone to the dogs a bit but ... woof woof! |

Yeah, he looks at LEAST 10 years older than his actual age. Mark is kind of wizened looking now too though. Gary looks by far the best of the lot! I reckon Robbie singing more lead vocals was inevitable when he returned, as that was the cause of a lot of the grief in their first incarnation. Barlow wouldn't let him sing much on the albums. I suppose it was payback now. Hopefully Gary will have more vocals on future albums. |

Actually, wasn't Gary quite generous in giving Mark quite a lot of the leads on "The Circus"? He does seem quite determined to avoid the "dictator" stance he was accused of during Take Take 1.0. |
