Editing Take That (section)

===1993–1995: ''Everything Changes'', ''Nobody Else'' and superstardom===
1993 saw the release of ''[[Everything Changes (Take That album)|Everything Changes]]'', based on Barlow's original material. It peaked at number one in the UK and spawned six singles, with four being consecutive UK number one singles—their first number one "[[Pray (Take That song)|Pray]]", "[[Relight My Fire]]", "[[Babe (Take That song)|Babe]]" and the title track "[[Everything Changes (Take That song)|Everything Changes]]". The lead single "[[Why Can't I Wake Up with You]]" had narrowly missed the top spot in the UK peaking at number two and the sixth and final single "[[Love Ain't Here Anymore]]" taken from the album reached number three on the UK charts. ''Everything Changes'' saw the band gain international success with the album being nominated for the 1994 [[Mercury Prize]], but it failed to crack the U.S. market, where a U.S.-exclusive remix of "Love Ain't Here Anymore" gained little success.

By 1994, Take That had become radio and television stars across Europe and Asia, but it was not until 1995 that they did their first World Tour. It was during the years 1993–95 that the band fronted scores of magazine covers ranging from ''[[Smash Hits]]'' to ''[[GQ]]'', becoming mass merchandised on all sorts of paraphernalia ranging from picture books, to posters, stickers, their own [[doll]]s, jewellery, caps, T-shirts, toothbrushes and even had their own annuals released.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/arts/main.jhtml?xml=/arts/2006/04/25/bmtakethat25.xml|title=Why I still love Take That – Telegraph<!-- Bot generated title -->|publisher=Telegraph.co.uk | location=London | first=Bryony | last=Gordon | author-link=Bryony Gordon | date=25 April 2006 | access-date=24 May 2010}}{{dead link|date=July 2021|bot=medic}}{{cbignore|bot=medic}}</ref> The band had also developed a large female teenage fanbase at the time. During this time, they performed at numerous music awards shows and chart shows such as the [[Brit Awards]] and ''[[Top of the Pops]]'', also winning the Best Live Act award in 1995 at the [[MTV Europe Music Awards]], having been renowned for their [[breakdance]] routines, high energy and creative tour productions.

In 1995, Take That released their third studio album ''[[Nobody Else]]'', again based on Barlow's own material which reached number 1 in the UK and across Europe, capturing new audiences along the way, with Take That also able to make inroads in the adult audience in Britain through Barlow's melodic, sensitive ballads. For nearly five years, Take That's popularity was unsurpassed in Britain.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://music.apple.com/us/artist/take-that/13653352|title=Take That – Download Take That Music on iTunes|publisher=[[iTunes]]|access-date=18 July 2011}}</ref> The release of the first single from the album, "[[Sure (Take That song)|Sure]]", achieved yet another number one in the UK charts. It was not until their second release from that album, however, that they would experience what would become their biggest hit single, "[[Back for Good (song)|Back for Good]]", which reached number one in many countries including the UK, Germany, Australia, and Norway.<ref name="auto">{{cite news | url = https://www.officialcharts.com/artist/31006/take-that/ |title= Official Charts: Take That|work= Official Charts |access-date=1 December 2018 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://swisscharts.com/song/Take-That/Back-For-Good-2991|title=Hitparade.ch: Take That – Back For Good|publisher=Hung Medien|access-date=1 December 2018}}</ref> It was also their only hit in the USA, where it reached number seven.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/17229469|title=The Wanted climb to number five in the US singles chart|work=[[Newsbeat]]|publisher=BBC|date=2 March 2012|access-date=22 November 2012}}</ref>

The song was initially unveiled for the first time via live performance while at the 1995 BRIT Awards, and based on the reception of that performance, the record pre-sold more records than expected and forced the record label to bring the release date forward by an unprecedented six weeks. The album was also noted for its cover, which was a parody of the famed cover of The Beatles' ''[[Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band]]'' cover sleeve.
