Beautiful World signalled the band's first studio album in over ten years and their first ever to feature songs written by each member of the band. A massive success, Beautiful World has sold over 2.6 million copies in Britain alone, and is one of the UK's Top 40 best-selling albums ever.
Beautiful World, and its lead single 'Patience', marked the band's return to the music scene in superb style when Take That became the first ever act to top the official single and album, download single and album and DVD charts in the same week.
