[edit] Song Information

"Sure" was the first release from Take That's third album Nobody Else. Released on October 4, 1993, it was a departure from their previous singles, having a more American, R&B sound compared to their previous, more pop/dance orientated songs. It was written by Take That's lead singer Gary Barlow with contributions from fellow band members Robbie Williams and Mark Owen. ^[1]

[edit] Chart Performance

"Sure" was released on Monday 3rd October 1994. Take That's previous single had stalled at #3 after four consecutive number one hits, but "Sure" went straight in at #1 becoming their fifth number one single in all. It remained at the top for two weeks, but dropped quickly thereafter. It was the 42nd best selling single of 1994 in the UK, the smallest selling #1 single of the year. ^[2]
