Take That's brand new album This Life has debuted at #1 in the Irish charts this week, their sixth Irish #1 album.

It marks another milestone for the band, in that they've released a #1 album every decade since the 90s with Nobody Else (1995), Greatest Hits (1996), Beautiful World (2006), The Circus (2008), Progress (2010) and now This Life (2023).

In celebration, Take That will perform on RTE's The Late Late Show tonight at 9:35pm, which will air alongside a sit-down chat with presenter Patrick Kielty.

On hitting #1 in Ireland the band says “What a treat to find ourselves at the top of the Official Irish Album Charts for the 6th time. We'd like to thank everyone for supporting This Life and for all they've done for us over the years. Our focus now turns to the tour, and we cannot wait to bring the show to Ireland next year.”

Take That will be playing in Dublin's 3Arena on 22nd and 23rd April 2024, as well as a series of massive outdoor shows as part of their This Life Under the Stars tour in Cork, Dublin and Belfast in June 2024.

Four out of five of the shows have already sold out, with a few tickets remaining for Dublin Malahide Castle on Friday 21 June. Remaining tickets can be found here.

Take That were formed in Manchester in 1988 by Gary Barlow, Mark Owen and Howard Donald, and quickly enjoyed widespread success with their first three albums hitting the top of the charts. The group split in 2996 with the departure of band member Robbie Williams, before the remaining four members reunited in 2005.

They have become renowned for their incredible live shows; they currently hold the record for most performances at London's The O2 with 34 headline shows, and their 2011 Progresstour broke box office records by selling over 1 million tickets in under 24 hours.
