The Friday Canon - TAKE THAT

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

Take That have sold 65 million records! Wow. I think that deserves some canonising, don't you? Alas "Do What You Like" only got to number 82 in the UK charts - boo! To make up for it I've added the new single Patience, which is 'a grower'.

That Facts!

Fat Tony Mortimer from East 17 once said TT were "a Village People tribute band who covered Barry Manilow". That isn't a bad thing Tony!

The various members of Take That between them have recorded ten albums since splitting up (not counting the new one).

'Babe' was beaten to the Xmas No 1 spot by Mr Blobby.

Ros Weaver from school once carved the TT sign into the back of her hand with a compass and it got all infected! URRR!

So let's get ticking. You have just FIVE ticks to denote your rabid TT obsession!

A reasonably-sized canon today - I have work to do, innit.

The Ego Has Landed was a compilation album.

And I'm not counting Live At Knebworth either. STUDIO albums chiz.

I can't work out whether Mark Owen calling an album How The Mighty Fall is a) a clever bit of self-deprecating humour or b) a bit sad really. Especially considering it probably sold about 119 copies.
