Gary Barlow ‏@GaryBarlow 7m

After 14 long years I'm proud to announce my new solo album out on November 25th! I'm excited for u to hear it! More info to follow #gbsolo

Has he got someone in to write the solo hits? And what a shame he can't release this on his own record label.

Boring Barlow

Please No!

Mr Bland releases bland new album..just what the world doesn't need :yawn:

With a dreary X Factor performance I bet, it will be like Tulisa last year

This will be released on the same day as 1D's album.

Hope he gets the #1.

lets not go too far - it will at least sound better!

against 1D?...

if the song's good and there's no other real competition, then an album charting of no.2 might be likely...it's pretty tough to call though.

It'll be about as interesting as watching paint dry :yawn: He is one of the most boring people in music!

Debuted @ #2 with 116K sold

Fantastic sales

Shocked that it's sold so much, I don't begrudge him it I just didn't think he was that popular, his other solo releases have never really set the charts alight.

i cant honestly say i was impressed by the record after hearing it earlier this week, but those sales are pretty impressive to be fair and it would have been #1 had it not gone up against one direction.

Ticket presales help.
