It is the band's first album to feature Robbie Williams since his initial departure from the band in 1995, and the final album to feature Jason Orange due to his departure from the band in 2014. The album was released in the United Kingdom on 15 November 2010. The album received positive reviews, with most critics commending the influence of electronic music and synthesizers. It debuted at number one on the UK Albums Chart, becoming the fastest-selling album of the century and the second fastest-selling album of all-time. ''Progress'' also became the biggest-selling album of 2010 by selling over one million copies in 24 days. As of June 2011, the album had sold 2.8 million copies in the UK. The album also became a commercial success in Continental Europe, where it charted within the top ten of twelve countries. ''Progress'' has been certified three-times platinum by the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry for shipments of three million copies inside Europe. On 10 June 2011, the album was released alongside the EP ''Progressed'', which features eight previously unreleased tracks. ==Background== On 15 July 2010, it was announced that Robbie Williams would be returning to the band. A joint statement between Williams and the group said, "The rumours are true ... Robbie is back ... and to celebrate, we've written and recorded a new album, due for release later this year." On the same date, national newspapers printed the headline: "Following months of speculation, it has been confirmed that Robbie Williams is to make a return to Take That. Gary, Howard, Jason, Mark and Robbie have been recording a new studio album as a five-piece, which is due for release in November."〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Rumours Are True )〕 Work on the album commenced in September 2009, following the final date of their sell-out Take That Present: The Circus Live tour. Shortly afterward, it was confirmed that, 'all five members of the band had met up, to begin writing the six songs which would set the foundation for the album.'〔 The album marks the band's 20th year in the music industry, as well as fifteen years since the release of the ''Nobody Else'' album, the last material the band recorded as a five-piece. The album cover was photographed by Nadav Kander, who had previously photographed Barack Obama. It mimics the iconic ape-to-man image, and has been positively received by critics.〔(Take That star Mark Owen wrestles his conscience ) ''The Sun''. 19 October 2010.〕〔(Take That show 'ascent of man' ) thisislincolnshire.co.uk.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Progress (Take That album)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
