Take That

Take That are a BRIT Award-winning English pop rock band consisting of members Gary Barlow, Howard Donald, Jason Orange and Mark Owen. Barlow is the group's main songwriter. All of them perform primarily on vocals though each have some instrumental talent/song-writing capability. The band achieved major success in the early to mid 1990s as a five person boyband act, with Robbie Williams. A reformed four man version of the band have achieved new success without Williams since 2005. Formed in Manchester in 1990, Take That sold more than 25 million records between 1991-96. Take That's dance-oriented pop tunes and soulful ballads dominated the UK charts in the first half of the 1990s, spawning two of the best selling albums of the decade with Everything Changes (which was nominated for the 1994 Mercury Prize) and Greatest Hits 1996, and according to Allmusic, "at this time were giant superstars in Europe with the main question about them not being about whether they could get a hit single, but how many and which would make it to number one". The band split up in 1996, but after a 2005 documentary and the release of a new greatest hits album, they officially announced a 2006 reunion tour around the United Kingdom, entitled The Ultimate Tour. On 9 May 2006, it was announced that Take That were set to record their first studio album Beautiful World in over 10 years. The band have released a second post-reunion studio album entitled The Circus and have completed their 'Circus' Tour 2009.
