Rule The World 5th Place In PRS For Music Poll For Most Requested Wedding Songs

Article From http://www.ShaneFilan.Nl/News.htm

Amazed, the love ballad by American country band Lonestar, is the most popular song chosen by newly-weds for their first dance, a new poll has found.

The pop song came top in a poll of 2,000 wedding videographers, who were asked for the most requested songs for the bride and groom's traditional dance.

Originally released in 1999, the song spent 22 weeks in the UK singles charts and topped the American 'Billboard' country singles charts for eight weeks.

At number five on the poll conducted by PRS For Music, Take That's Rule the World was the only track by a UK artist to enter the top five.

Written for the film Stardust in 2007, the song was the fifth highest-selling single of the year, despite only being released in October, and remained in the top 100 in the UK charts for almost 18 months.

It was also the most recent release to feature in the poll, which favoured ballads from the 1980s and 90s. Also in the top 10 was ex Take That member Robbie Williams who entered at number 8 with 'Angels'.

Van Morrison's Have I Told You Lately That I Love You, from 1989, came sixth, and Westlife's Flying Without Wings was number seven in the poll.

From Westlife's self-titled debut album, the 1999 track was the Irish band's third UK number one.

Top 10 most popular wedding first dance songs:

1. Lonestar – Amazed
2. Aerosmith – Don't Want To Miss A Thing
3. Shania Twain – From This Moment On
4. Bryan Adams – (Everything I do) I Do It For You
5. Take That – Rule The World
6. Van Morrison – Have I told you Lately
7 Westlife – Flying without Wings
8. Robbie Williams – Angels
9. Shania Twain – You're Still The One
10 Jack Johnson – Better Together

Jason Orange says it's his turn now to Shine

JASON Orange believes he is finally getting the chance to shine after being given lead vocals on a new Take That song.

The 28-year-old's voice is behind the track 84, which is the B-side to the group's new single Up All Night.
And Jason admits he always saw himself as the weakest link in Take That, having lacked the belief to step up to the mic when the band shot to fame first time around.
"I didn't have confidence in myself, so it didn't happen then," Jason said.
"There wasn't enough encouragement from the others to change my lack of confidence. I was consigned to doing backing vocals and dance routines. That was my job description at the time."
Struggling to dazzle under the management of Nigel Martin Smith back in the Nineties, Jason insists he is still trying to prove himself an equal to his bandmates, Howard Donald, Gary Barlow and Mark Owen.
"Nigel had his vision of how things would be and that's how they were," Jason recalled. "We pretty much all fell in line with his vision. It was frustrating. That's human nature.
"I was with a bunch of lads and wanted to prove myself in among them. Although we are all friends and care for each other, there is a rivalry we all share.
"You always want to appeal to the people around you. I was frustrated, I'm sure all the lads were in their own way.
"It is why we are doing what we are doing. We want to prove things to ourselves."
The new song is helping boost Jason's self-esteem however.
"I like it for that reason," Jason explained. "It's only the third time I've done a lead on a Take That song. It is a rarity.
"We're trying to be more democratic across the board. As far as the songwriting is concerned, we are all contributing more than ever. Likewise with who gets to sing what. I am probably the weakest - well, not probably, I am the weakest singer in the band."
The song 84 features on the flip side of the new single and marks a new direction for Take That as it provides a nostalgic look back to the Eighties and life before Take That.
It name checks the miners' strike, which was staged 25 years ago to prevent pit closures against abackdrop of confrontation. But Jason describes those days as the best of his life.
"It is semi-autobiographical," he said. "That stuff happened and the facts of the miner's strike are there. I wanted a staccato rhythm and to tell a story and we decided to tell a nostalgic one.
"It's a story from my childhood.
Back then, I was breakdancing on the corner of the street with my lino on the ground and my breakdance crew. We were just kids. I was 14 or 15 years old.
"I look back with huge fondness."
As well as singing fondly of Margaret Thatcher, he fast-forwards into the 21st century to name check "lies about Iraq" in the lyrics.
But he denies it is his chance to get on his political soapbox.
"We don't want to be a protest band," he said. "It wasn't written for that reason.
"I wanted to make reference of the fact the Conservatives were in power and go on to sing about what happened with Iraq. That and the fact Iraq rhymed with 'heart attack' from the first line.
"It doesn't express opinions about things back then. It makes statements of what's happened. It is quite innocent in that way."
Jason says the Take That boys are looking forward to heading to Scotland in the summer for their record-breaking three dates at Glasgow's Hampden Park.
"We can't wait," he said. "It's going to be brilliant. It's the biggest tour we have ever done.
"It'll be summertime and we are playing so many stadiums, it's awonderful honour.
"We're going to try to grasp it and be fully involved with it and not let things go by too fast.
"I remember we did a big tour at the start of the Nineties. We came to Scotland and it was the first time we were outside Manchester.
"We did mainly gay clubs around Glasgow. It was brilliant.
"We've always had a fantastic reaction there."
Meanwhile, Jason says he has nothing but praise for his bandmate Gary Barlow's on going climb of Mount Kilimanjaro, in aid of Comic Relief.
Gary and fellow climbers Cheryl Cole, Kimberley Walsh, Fearne Cotton, Ronan Keating, Alesha Dixon, Denise Van Outen, Ben Shephard and Chris Moyles, have now passed the £1million mark in funds raised for the charity.
Speaking from the mountain yesterday, Gary said: "I am overwhelmed at the generosity of the public. We're all near to reaching mental and physical exhaustion up here, so to know everyone is behind us and giving whatever they can is so humbling.
"Knowing we've raised this fantastic amount of money in cashstrapped times is the push we need to get us to that summit."
The team have struggled on their climb and both Fearne and Cheryl have been treated for altitude sickness, but all the climbers made it to High Camp and were due to reach the mountain summit today.
That means it is left to the other band members to promote the new song, which has Mark singing the A-side, Up All Night.
Mark, 37, said: "We're left behind to do all the hard work."
Jason quipped: "We'd have to wear high heels and short skirts for the rest of us to have been invited on that mountain with him. Have you seen who is up there? It's Cheryl, Denise and Kimberley. You have got to be a really pretty girl or have influence with the BBC, like Chris Moyles.
"I'm kidding, of course. We all got invited, but we left it to him."
He added: "Gary hurt his back before he left, but he'll be fine.
The effort he is making is brilliant.
"He is making loads of money for charity and having a great experience in the process.''

Mark Owen relaxes on a family holiday after gruelling Circus tour

After performing a string of energetic concerts for Take That's Circus tour, bandmember Mark Owen is taking a well-earned summer holiday.
The Mancunian singer, 37, and his actress partner Emma Ferguson brought their two children Elwood Jack and Willow Rose for a relaxing break in Mauritius.
As Mark's fair-skinned girlfriend stayed in the shade with their eight-month-old daughter Willow, the pop star larked around in the sea with toddler Elwood, who turns three next month.

Family man: Mark Owen and two-year-old son Elwood Jack take a dip in the Indian Ocean as they holiday in Mauritius

Clearly not fond of blistering heat, the family chose to visit the Indian Ocean island during its winter, which sees Mauritius enjoy a balmy average temperature of 21 degrees - cooler than Mark's native England has been in recent weeks.
Arriving on the beach, Mark stripped down to a pair of swimming trunks before dressing Elwood in an aqua suit to protect his fair skin.
Revelling in fatherhood, Mark was all smiles as he threw a delighted Elwood in the air as they played in the surf.

Take That wanted to take the Circus tour to Europe, but found the spectacular large set would be too expensive to transport overseas.
After the tour ended, Mark's bandmate Gary Barlow and his wife Dawn took their three children to California for a family break.


Mark, Gary, Howard Donald and Jason Orange are preparing to go back into the studio later this year to record their sixth studio album.
Gary said: 'We will take a break after the tour then start writing again for the next album in autumn - it would be stupid to stop now wouldn't it?'

Take That bring all the fun of the Circus to Wembley... but will they be topped by U2

They decided not to take the stage show to Europe, on account of it being too expensive.
But he recently told the Radio 1 Chris Moyles Show: 'We want to do some more, we want to go back out again. We'll come at it fresh next time and see where we go.'

And of the last show at Wembley Stadium on Sunday, Gary added: 'It was an emotional night for us - this isn't the end.'
Take That are also celebrating after winning their second Silver Clef Award, a coup for the four-piece act as The Beatles and Rolling Stones have only ever won one.
The boy band got their first gong at the annual awards lunch staged in aid of the Nordoff Robbins charity back in 1995, not long before Robbie Williams quit the group. On hearing they had won a second Silver Clef award, Gary Barlow announced that he and his colleagues would make a £50,000 donation to the Music Therapy charity.

For their latest tour, fans shelled out a staggering £50million on tickets.
Take That's 'Circus' is the most successful comeback album of recent times, selling one million copies within 19 days of its release in December last year.
And since Michael Jackson's sudden death two weeks ago, Take That have reclaimed their record as the fastest-selling concert in Britain.
