Take That's new album, Progress, has become the fastest selling album of the century, following a record first day of sales.

According to the Official Chart Company, the album has sold more than 235,000 copies since its release on 15 November.

This is the band's first album as a five piece in 15 years.

The opening figure is the biggest first day sale for an album this century and the biggest since Oasis' Be Here Now in 1997.

This is not the first record the boys have broken in the past few weeks.

Earlier this month, their Progress tour became the fastest and biggest selling tour in UK history, with 1.34 million tickets sold and the first million going in just eight hours.
