[edit] Song Information

"Shine" was the second single released from that album, released on 26 February 2007 and features lead vocals by Mark Owen. The song is featured in several commercials for the relaunched Morrisons supermarkets in the UK, fronted by actress Denise van Outen, comedian Nick Hancock, television presenter Gabby Logan, gardener Diarmuid Gavin and singer Lulu. A 'live' version was recorded at a session with BBC Radio 2, and appears on the CD singles of "I'd Wait For Life" and "Reach Out".

"Shine" was released after lead singer Gary Barlow converted to Christianity and was released as a Christian song. It became Take That's sixth consecutive number one single and its tenth number one overall, making them one of only seven acts in the history of the UK charts to have more than nine number one hits. It ended 2007 as the year's 18th biggest-selling single in the UK[1] The song also won Best British Single at the 2008 BRIT Awards.

[edit] Music video

The video for "Shine" was shown on Channel 4 on Thursday 25 January 2007 at 11:05 p.m. [2] The video was directed by Justin Dickel with a concept of recreating a Busby Berkeley style musical number[3].
