 Sydney, AU. (Top40 Charts/ Universal Music Australia) - Be sure to wear your ear plugs in March as the screams are set to be piecing when Take That head to Australia for a promotional tour from March 9 to March 14. Between the band's first single release in 1991 and their breakup in 1996, the BBC described Take That as "the most successful British band since The Beatles in the UK, beloved of young and old alike". Take That's dance-oriented pop tunes and soulful ballads dominated the British charts in the first half of the 1990s, spawning two of the best selling albums of the decade with Everything Changes 1993 and Greatest Hits 1996. Take That's most successful original album Everything Changes, based mainly on Barlow's original material, spawned four UK number one singles. The first infectious cut PATIENCE – taken from their new album Beautiful World - hit number 1 in the U.K in its second week of chart entry making it the group's ninth No 1 single. Beautiful World entered the Official UK Album Chart at No 1. Take That have rewritten the record books with a chart like this: 1 in the official singles chart 'Patience' 1 in the official albums chart 'Beautiful World' 1 in the singles download chart 'Patience' 1 in the albums download chart 'Beautiful World' 1 in the DVD chart 'The Ultimate Tour - Live In Manchester' After just over a month on sale the band's comeback album Beautiful World sold over 1.5 million copies in the U.K. Patience and Beautiful World are out now in Australia
