Take That album breaks records

Take That's new album has been confirmed as the fastest-selling this century.

'Progress', which is the band's first album in 16 years to feature Robbie Williams, sold 235,000 copies in its first day.

The record sales came just a day after the band performed together for the first time since their reunion on Sunday night's 'X Factor'.

Oasis's third album, 'Be Here Now', still holds the record for the biggest first day sales after it shifted 350,000 in 24 hours back in 1997.

Speaking about Take That's sales, Martin Talbot from the Official Charts Company, said: "This is a phenomenal achievement from an already phenomenally successful band."

Earlier this month, the band smashed another record when their tour became the biggest and fastest-selling in UK history.

Ticket websites went into meltdown when a million tickets were sold in just eight hours and more than 1.3 million tickets have now been bought for the sell out dates next summer.
