Take That are a boy band that originated in Manchester, England in 1990.The original members were Gary Barlow, Mark

in1991 and their cataclysmic breakup in 1996 when Robbie Williams left the band to pursue a solo career in 1995, the
BBCdescribed Take That as “the most successful British band since the Beatles, beloved of young and old alike.”
Take That’s dance-pop tunes and soulful ballads dominated the British charts in the first half of the 1990s. They released twoof
the best selling albums of the decade with “Everything Changes” (1993) and “Take That: Greatest Hits” (1996). Accordingto the
AMG Music Guides, “at this time were giant superstars in Europe with the main question about them not being aboutwhether
they could get a hit single, but how many and which would make it to number one”.
The band reformed with the exception of Robbie Williams in 2006 and released their first new single in 10 years:
“Patience.”Following the success of Patience they released the album “Beautiful World” which topped sales in 2006 & sold more
than thecurrent release by Williams.
Recently however, Williams returned to the fold and Take That are in their original shape again. A retrospective called InAnd
Out of Consciousness will be released in October 2010. « hide
