Take That prove that 3 really is a special number with their new video for These Days. The video presents a surreal version of a ‘normal’ day with a nod to the sound that defined their early years. Watch Gary Barlow, Mark Owen and Howard Donald explore life as a trio, even sleeping together – platonic of course, you know, Morecambe and Wise style, tongue-in-cheek.

These Days, the first single from their upcoming album III, will be released on November 23 and is described as “an out-and-out feel good pop smash that isn’t like anything they’ve produced since the 2006 reunion.”
The album is slated for a December 1st release, and will be their 7th studio album. The name of the album, III, is of course referring to the fact that Jason Orange left the band in September, leaving just the three of them. Jason made a statement on September 24 saying that after almost 25 years he was leaving the band. There were no hard feelings though, he said the group had “full support and encouragement to continue on with what is to be another chapter for the band”.
Their last album, Progress, was released in 2010 when they were a 5-piece band and it became the fastest selling album of the century, and the second fastest selling album of all time, moving more than 235,000 in just one day.
Take That do have quite a legacy: 8 number one albums, 15 number one singles, sales of over 30 million albums, 6 Ivor Novello awards, 8 BRIT Awards and sales of over 7 million concert tickets!
