That Take have scored their first UK top 10 single for 10 years with their comeback song Patience.

The track has reached number four from download sales alone and has beaten former member Robbie Williams's single Lovelight, which rose to number eight.

 

Rapper Akon has claimed the top spot with Smack That featuring Eminem, followed by Justin Timberlake at two.

 

George Michael's greatest hits collection Twenty Five is straight in at number one on the album chart.

 

The albums rundown is dominated by Best Of compilations, with Jamiroquai at two, a new entry from the Sugababes at three and Girls Aloud at four.

 

Girl group All Angels debut at nine with what is being claimed as the fastest-selling debut album by a classical act in UK chart history.

 

Take That's single is the band's first hit since 1996's How Deep Is Your Love and could rise further when released on CD on Monday.

 

It follows a sold-out comeback tour earlier this year, which sold more than half a million tickets.

 

Robbie Williams's Lovelight, meanwhile, entered at 28 last weekend on the strength of downloads alone and has now jumped 20 places after its CD release.

 

Akon, who lives in the US but spent time in Senegal, has had one previous number one single, 2005's Lonely.

 

He is known for combining silky, West African-styled vocals with US East Coast and Southern hip-hop and R&B influences.

 

His song has beaten Justin Timberlake's strong climber My Love into second place and left last week's number one, Westlife's The Rose, at three.

 

George Michael last had album success in 2004 when Patience topped the UK chart.

 

The release of Twenty Five has coincided with his first tour in 15 years, the UK leg of which began on Friday.

Lol (fight fight!)

 

saw this video on tv, they were looking sad near cold and dark looking seaside, then microphone stands magically appeared and the guys sang into them while the sea water sprayed around them he he.

don't know if i like it, i find it catchy.

 

 

however "want you back for good' will always have a nostalgic place in my heart.

 

edit: actually they carry the microphone stands dont they?

Yes - "Back For Good" was the only decent song they ever did. Robbie has been performing it on his latest tour, and you can understand why.

It was a song which worked on its own merits, without the need for cheesy dance routines etc.;)

havent heard this song yet, but if that description of the video clip is correct, i can pretty much guess what its like lol

it is very similar to how deep is your love video ,i think i fell in love with them again

Take That are a very good pop group, and prob the best out of the "boy-bands" area.

lol

 

someone's a real "boy-bands" specialist here

 

first Westlife, now Take That... :laugh3:

Not really, take that is just one of the best Boy-Bands, which means they are the best of a generally bad bunch. Mainly because they write their own songs and do most of their own instrumental work.

 

Would I buy the album? No

Would I buy the single? No

Would I go and see them live? Nope

Are they in the A-B-C List of my musical likes and dislikes? No

Are they the best of a bad bunch of groups? Yes.

LOL

well at least you're knowledgeable in all aspects of music...

lol. i wanna listen to the new song!

my mum gave their greatest hits like a year ago, because i'm a big fan of Robbie. At first i didn't like it at all... but then, it's very catchy! I loooooooove back for good! and their version of how deep is your love it's really good too

So in other words, they're "the best of the worst"!! Not exactly an attractive accolade, is it!!:P

Well they should have left that well alone. The Bee Gees version is a "standard".;)

Take That's domination continues

 

 

Take That have scored a fourth week at number one with their single Patience, but Sir Cliff Richard put in a strong showing with his festive tune.

Fairytale of New York

In the top five this week are Gwen Stefani with Wind it Up, Cascada's Truly Madly Deeply and Smack That by Akon featuring Eminem.

 

The Pogues Fairytale of New York, which has now been released four times since it was recorded in 1987, has reached number 10.

 

There were no new entries in the album charts, with top the top 10 largely dominated by greatest hits compilations.

 

Oasis remain at number two, followed by Westlife, Il Divo and U2.
