I'd be inclined to say you're probably wrong there. It may sell, but it certainly won't be boosted by it's servile message for The Queen. It'll sell as a result of the extra promotion Radio may be inclined to give it, or the fact that Gary Barlow wrote it (don't bank on that though, give his current profile as a bit of a Conservative bumboy). It'll sell based on it's musical merits too, and is it just me, or can anyone almost hear Barlow singing it? It's only when you listen to it do you realise that Barlow's song is startlingly recognisable at a country mile's distance. Bit disappointing that he's lost a bit of the edge he found on 'Progress'.
Although the song itself is rather shit, isn't it?
