Take That Offering Up Mini Album 'Progressed'

Take That announced today that they're pulling a Lady Gaga/Ke$ha/Usher and releasing eight-song mini album Progressed — which will include their current UK Top 20 single "Love Love" from the X-Men: First Class soundtrack — to be packaged with their multi-million-selling 2010 studio album Progress.

The new release is out June 13, and contains the following tracks on the first disc (the second disc is Progress):

"When We Were Young"
"Man"
"Love Love"
"The Day The Work Is Done"
"Beautiful"
"Don't Say Goodbye"
"Aliens"
"Wonderful World"

Pretty cool, no? I'm assuming neither "Beautiful" or "Wonderful World" are sequels to Take That's 2006 jam "Beautiful World."

But please, Jesus, let "Don't Say Goodbye" be a cover of Rick Astley's same-titled Whenever You Need Somebody track!

UK Chart Roundup: I'll Be Back Soon

Just a quick note to apologize for having been a bit absent this past week. There's a personal issue I've  deal with, and so blogging hasn't been at the top of the priority list. That said, I still have no idea what happened to Thursday's U.S. chart post. It was there, there were even comments on it and then it was gone. Oh well. Things will return to normal here on Tuesday.

But really quickly, not the most exciting Top 10 ever, is it? Congrats to Lady Gaga, at least, for landing "The Edge Of Glory" at #6 in the UK, since "Judas" kind of tanked at #9 and dropped quickly. It will be interesting to see if this week's promo single "Hair" does as well...or sounds as good.

And while I'm a little disappointed Take That's "Love Love" only managed a #15 debut, it's still miles ahead of their previous singles "Happy Now" and "Kidz," which charted at #52 and #28, respectively.

Over on the album chart it's a 15th non-consecutive week for Adele's 21 at the top.

Okay, back as normal tomorrow. Promise!
