Take That Circus tour DVD smashes sales record in just one day
Take That' are celebrating today after the band’s recording of their latest Circus tour became the fastest-selling music DVD of all time in the UK
According to figures released by the official Charts Company Take That Present: The Circus Live sold 82,414 copies in 24 hours.
It meant the Manchester boyband turned ‘manband’ -Gary Barlow, Howard Donald, Mark Owen and Jason Orange- outstripped in just one day the previous week-long sales record for a musical title held by That’s What I Call A Music Quiz.
HMV's Gennaro Castaldo said: "This is a phenomenal performance for a non-studio release, and it underlines the band's massive popularity with fans of all ages."
Since reforming in 2006, Take That have gone from strength to strength, if anything becoming more popular in their mid-1990s heyday when Robbie Williams was still in the band before quitting in 1995.
At the time the Circus tour was released there were rumours that Robbie might join his former bandmatess on stage but they proved unfounded.
However recently Gary Barlow and Robbie have both spoken of their desire to get the old gang together again.
The 20 stadium date Circus Live tour which was seen by over one million fans became the fastest selling UK tour in history, with the original eight dates selling out in just five hours.
A 2-CD live album is set to be released the following week, containing the entire Circus tour on the first CD and an exclusive performance recorded at Abbey Road on the second disc.
The previous record sales for a concert tour was also held by Take That for with their Beautiful World Live DVD.
The tour began on 5 June 2009 in Sunderland and finished on 5 July 2009 at London's Wembley Stadium where Take That Present: The Circus Tour Live was filmed.

Gary canta con Ronan Keating
Take That's Gary Barlow has crossed the great boyband divide - by teaming up to duet with Boyzone's Ronan Keating.
The pair belted out Take That's Back For Good at Ronan's Emerald and Ivy Ball in Battersea, South London, on Saturday. The starry bash raised £650,000 for Cancer Research UK.
But it was a night of tears as well as joy - especially when Ronan paid tribute to the late Stephen Gately.
And when "Steo's" partner Andrew Cowles got up on stage to join Boyzone, Ronan told him: "With you being here tonight, the four of us, Boyzone, feel like five."

Tributo a Take That y Elton John en X Factor
X FACTOR chiefs sure are cramming those themes in - this weekend they're honouring TWO pop giants.
TV Biz can reveal the final five hopefuls must learn a song by Take That PLUS one of Elton John's ditties.
But no Thatters or Sir Elton will be on hand after show supremo Simon Cowell opted to do without a mentor for the second week in a row.
A show source said: "The plan is for the acts to do one up-tempo number and a more ballady one to show off both sides of their voices.
Tracks being practised include Take That's Relight My Fire and Elt's Rocket Man.

Gary Barlow & Duncan James for United Kingdom??
Rumours have emerged today that Take That singer Gary Barlow has been in talks with a view to composing the British entry for the 2010 Eurovision Song Contest in Oslo. It has also been suggested that the artist who may perform the entry is Duncan James, the popular singer from boy band Blue.

The Circus Live: mañana a la venta en España
Mañana sale a la venta en nuestro país The Circus Live, el DVD grabado durante los conciertos del 3 y 4 de julio en el Wembley Stadium. ¡Nosotras, como muchas de vosotras, etuvimos allí y pronto reviviremos aquellos momentos!
No obstante, es un tanto vergonzoso ver que la página de Take That de Univeral Music España no se actualiza desde marzo y no hay ningún tipo de información acerca del DVD. Solo hemos podido saber la fecha a través de El Corte Inglés o Fnac.
Lo que me ha llamado la atención en la web del Corte Inglés, aparte de que el DVD se llame "The Circus LiFe" y los temas estén desordenados, es que parece que hay una edición limitada. Sin embargo, parece que no hay diferencias con la edición normal. Puede que sea la caja Digipack, pero no lo convierte en una edición limitada, ¿no?
Si alguien sabe algo al respecto, sus comentarios son bienvenidos (como siempre).

Many thanks,

Adoring fan desperately seeks Gary Barlow's attention
...but gets the brush off.
For one Take That fan, the band's first reunion in 15 years with Robbie Williams proved to be an overwhelming experience.
So much so, that the adoring fan didn't want the night to end and tried desperately to get the attention of Take That hunk Gary Barlow.
The woman approached the singer for an autograph as he was leaving London's Gore Hotel last night after the BBC Children In Need performance at the Royal Albert Hall.
But Barlow, 38, who had just enjoyed an emotional reunion with singer and ex-Take That star Robbie Williams, was mobbed by fans as he made his way through paparazzi and signed autographs.
The woman struggled to get through the crowd, and lurched past Barlow's security to grab his arm. But perhaps fearing a Leona Lewis-style attack, a usually accomodating Barlow brushed her off and escaped to the sanctuary of his chauffeur-driven vehicle.
Barlow had been performing at the charity concert with other band members Mark Owen, Howard Donald and Jason Orange.
They were joined on stage by Williams, 35, in an emotional reunion - the first since the band split in 1995. For the finale, the five teamed up with Sir Paul McCartney at the other acts to perform The Beatles' Hey Jude.
Williams also admitted that he would be performing with Take That - but refused to be drawn on a date. He said: 'We'll save that for something special, whatever that is.'
Barlow added: 'Robbie was the icing on the cake for the whole gig. We wanted to stay on and do ten songs. It felt great having him back.'

Take 1, Take 2 & SingStar
Hoy me ha llegado mi pedido de Amazon y quería enseñároslo para las que todavía tenéis dudas.
Como véis, en comparación con el SingStar, los libros son grandes (tamaño A4), cosa que yo no sabía. Me esperaba que los libros fuesen más pequeños. Son de tapa dura impresa (no de esas que se quitan como el My Take) , y salvo una esquina de uno de los libros que está un poco arrugada, han llegado en buen estado. Por dentro es como un álbum de fotos con comentarios de los chicos, como se ve en la foto (si se agranda se verá mejor).
Apenas he tenido tiempo de verlos detenidamente, de momento solo los he hojeado un poco, pero tienen muy buena pinta y hay fotos muy buenas (todavía babeo con unas de Mark del final del Take 2).
En cuanto al SingStar, poco os puedo contar porque no he jugado todavía. Pero he echado un vistazo al manual y tiene las típicas características de todo SingStar: modo normal, fiesta, pasa el micro, medley, dueto, batalla, etc... es decir, ¡tiene modos para no aburrise nunca!
Estoy como si acaben de llegar los reyes magos... jejeje

Robbie y Take That: ¿Disco juntos?
Robbie Williams has announced he is going to record a new album with Take That, after he was tearfully reunited with his former bandmates onstage last night.
Robbie Williams is recording a new album with Take That.
The 'Bodies' singer cried as he was reunited with his former bandmates - Gary Barlow, Howard Donald, Jason Orange and Mark Owen - onstage last night (12.11.08) for the first time in 15 years and revealed plans are in place for them to enter the studio together.
He said to Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper: "The ball is rolling for a Take That album with me. I was tearing up when I was onstage with the lads."
Robbie joined the group and a host of other stars including Lily Allen to sing Beatles classic 'Hey Jude' - led by the song's original singer, Sir Paul McCartney at London's Royal Albert hall for the charity concert.
Gary - who organised the concert in aid of Children In Need - performed arm-in-arm with Robbie, and said he felt like the old line-up was back together again.
Speaking afterwards, he said: "He was the last one I was hoping to get here. He was the icing on the cake of the whole thing for me.
"When we were all stood in a line we didn't want to leave ... it felt great having him back. It feels like he's back, it does."
Robbie also admitted he wished they could have stayed onstage for longer and sung one of Take That's old hits.
He said: "We should have milked it for a lot longer. I was trying to call them back and do a bow. It's the first time in 15 years we were together, we should have at least stayed for 15 minutes.
"While they were singing I wanted to grab a mic and start singing too. It would have to have been 'Back For Good'."
Take That opened the show before opening the stage up for their former bandmate.
After performing their hit 'Greatest Day', Gary then said: "What a perfect night for us to introduce an old friend."
However, fans hoping for a full reunion were left disappointed when the group departed the stage, leaving Robbie alone to sing two tracks from his new album 'Reality Killed The Video Star'.
Other performers at the event included Snow Patrol and Cheryl Cole, Leona Lewis, Annie Lennox and Dizzee Rascal.

Entrevista a Robbie tras su actuación en CIN
After Take That's opening performance of their song Greatest Day, Barlow told the 4,500-strong crowd: "What a perfect night for us to introduce an old friend."
Williams, who left Take That in 1995, then appeared on stage before moments later being left to perform songs from his new album, Bodies and You Know Me.
Afterwards, he said: "I started tearing up just before I came on, and the lads were singing and knowing it was just about to happen and knowing what the reactions were going to be like, and then all my team were like 'Please don't cry'.
"And I think we should have milked it for a lot longer than we actually did. I think Gaz, in his wisdom, went, 'Right, we should get off now, let the lad do his singing.'
"I was trying to get them back to do a bow and everything. That's the first time in 15 years, we should have at least stayed there for 10 minutes."
Of speculation about him performing with the band again, he said plans were "shaping up to be very exciting" but added that he did not know where, when or how it would happen.
Robbie Williams on appearing with Take That: "This feels good"
"I just hope people don't get bored of the idea before it actually happens," he said.
Williams and Take That returned to the stage with all the other artists to round off the show with a performance of The Beatles' Hey Jude.

Robbie back on stage with Take That
Robbie Williams has joined Take That on stage - but stopped short of performing with his former band.
Take That opened the Children In Need concert at London's Royal Albert Hall, organised by Gary Barlow, with their song Greatest Day.
Barlow then welcomed the 4,500-strong crowd and said: "What a perfect night for us to introduce an old friend."
An emotional-looking Williams, who left the band in 1995, appeared on stage alongside his old bandmates but only briefly.
Barlow and Williams have both hinted at a reunion of the band's original line-up but, despite the teaser, the band left the stage to allow Williams to perform his solo singles Bodies and You Know Me alone.
Speaking after his performance, Williams said he was welling up before joining Take That on stage and he wanted to "milk" the moment for a bit longer. Asked why he did not perform with the band, Williams said: "Something's planned and you don't want to shoot your bolt, do you?"
He added: "I started tearing up just before I came on and the lads were singing and knowing it was just about to happen and knowing what the reactions were going to be like and then all my team were like 'Please don't cry'. And I think we should have milked it for a lot longer than we actually did. I think Gaz, in his wisdom went 'Right, we should get off now, let the lad do his singing'. That was probably what was in his head because I was trying to get them back to do a bow and everything. That's the first time in 15 years, we should have least stayed there for 10 minutes."
He refused to be drawn on when the reunion would take place, but denied it would be at next year's Brit Awards. He said: "We'll save that for something special, whatever that is."
He added that he was not nervous about it, saying: I'm not nervous any more because we've seen each other... the bitterness and resentment has completely gone and I'm just left with four other lads that I just love to pieces. "That's why I was so bitter and resentful in the first place because I loved them then and love is all that's left now, and that's what you see tonight."
The night, which raised more than £500,000 in ticket sales for Children In Need, will be broadcast on BBC1 on November 19.

Robbie Williams has brushed aside reports that he is to rejoin Take That for a one-off Children In Need performance tonight.
It has been widely claimed that the singer will join his former bandmates to perform a song at this evening's charity show at London's Royal Albert Hall.
Williams has been booked to appear at the concert, but told Key 103 of rumours of a full-band comeback: "No not at all. We are going to be in the same building at the same time."
According to Music-News, when asked if the group would be singing together, Williams responded: "No, we're not."
A BBC spokeswoman confirmed that the reports of a full original Take That performance were "categorically not true".
Williams recently admitted that he had "done bits and bobs" with his former bandmates and planned to work with them again in the future.

Robbie Williams y Take That, juntos esta noche
El cantante se une a su antigua banda para actuar en un festival benéfico
"Robbie Williams vuelve con Take That 14 años después. La cita tendrá lugar esta noche, sobre el escenario del Royal Albert Hall, y el artista asegura sentirse "muy emocionado".
El organizador del concierto BBC Children in Need es el cantante de Take That, Gary Barlow, que ha invitado a Williams para que interprete el tema Bodies durante la gala. Según afirma una fuente cercana a un diario británico, "Robbie ha estado soñando con actuar con Take That de nuevo durante años, y ahora eso va a suceder". "No han decidido lo que van a cantar juntos, pero algo va a tomar forma en los ensayos de hoy", añade.
El cantante británico, que se encuentra promocionando su último álbum (Reality Killed The Video Star), afirmó en un programa de televisión que quería componer nuevos temas y actuar con sus ex compañeros, algo que no ocurre desde la década de los noventa.
En el evento también actuarán otros artistas como el ex Beatle Paul McCartney, Cheryl Cole, Dizzee Rascal, Leona Lewis y Snow Patrol."

Never fog-et
BLEARY-eyed Take That stars prayed for the sun to Shine yesterday - as their Scots flight was blocked by fog.
Groggy Gary Barlow, Jason Orange and Howard Donald were trying to get home after partying the night away at bandmate Mark Owen's fairytale Highland wedding.
But thick mist stopped their private jet landing at Inverness Airport - and they were instead forced to make a 40-minute minibus dash to catch their plane from an RAF BASE. 
Last night, one source said: "They must have only had a few hours' kip. The last thing they needed was their flight getting delayed."
The night before, the boys - whose hits also include Never Forget - had been celebrating with Mark, 37, and bride Emma Ferguson, 33, at a knees-up at luxury Cawdor Castle, Inverness-shire.
Staff had been ordered to serve drinks until 4am. But by 11am weary-looking Gary, 38, Jason, 39, and Howard, 41, arrived at the airport to get their plane back to London.
They were whisked away from fog-bound Inverness just half an hour later and they hastily made arrangements to fly from RAF Lossiemouth. 
But not before fan Lynn Chisholm got the greatest thrill of her life by getting her photograph taken with her hero Gary.
Childminder Lynn had waited at the airport with a sign saying 'Please Gary I've waited 15 years to have my photograph taken with you'.
Excited Lynn, 29, from Inverness, said: "It was amazing. He could not be nicer and he gave me a great big cuddle. It has made my year."
It was also confirmed ex-bandmate Robbie Williams did NOT attend the wedding at Cawdor Church, despite rumours he was smuggled in.
A source at the castle said: "Maybe he didn't want to take the limelight from Mark."

Greatest day for Take That singer
Take That singer Mark Owen has married his fiancee Emma Ferguson at an intimate ceremony in the Highlands.
The service was held at Cawdor Parish Church, near Inverness, followed by a reception at Cawdor Castle.
The couple emerged from the church just before 1800 GMT and were showered with confetti by their guests.
Take That, made up of Owen, Gary Barlow, Howard Donald and Jason Orange, were reunited with former bandmate Robbie Williams at the event.
Wedding guests made an archway for the couple to walk under, which obscured the bride and groom from the view of fans who had queued for up to six hours, leading to shouts and boos.
The wedding service had begun as darkness fell on the Highland town. It is understood the bride had requested a service by candlelight.
Owen, 37, from Oldham, arrived with fellow band members Gary Barlow, Howard Donald and Jason Orange and waved at fans.
Former band member Robbie Williams was also at the ceremony, having arrived in Scotland on a private jet late on Friday night.
The band, rumoured to be reuniting as a group, were expected to sing at the wedding, with Owen posting on the website: "No doubt once the boys have had a few drinks we will get into song."
The bride arrived 25 minutes late for the wedding, wearing a white V-neck fitted gown, embellished with crystals, and an antique-style veil.
Surrounded by photographers, she was assisted into the church by her bridesmaids.
She smiled and waved as the crowd outside the church cheered and applauded.
Celebrations were due to be held in two huge teepees constructed for the massive event.
