Global Chart 30 Years Ago (original) (raw)

"Back For Good" was released on March 27, 1995, as the second single from the band's third studio effort Nobody Else (1994). The fantastic blue-eyed soul ballad won British Single Of The Year at the 1996 Brit Awards. Gary Barlow claimed he wrote the song in only fifteen minutes. However, "Back For Good" catapulted atop the hitlist in United Kingdom with nearly 350,000 single sales in its initial week, so this made it one of the fastest selling singles of the year there. Furthermore the song went to the summit in Germany, Canada, Australia, Spain, Norway, Ireland, and reached the Top 10 in many other countries, even in the United States.
