The song "Rule the World" was featured in the motion picture "Stardust" which was released in the US this year. Although little known in the US, Take That is a top act in Europe and thing song has hit the top 10 list in the UK immediately after its release.

I hope this song makes it to the US because it is just the type of pop tune that could be a big hit here, if only it was given the proper radio exposure. Those who have seen "Stardust" will already know the song, but I actually only discovered this while browsing through one of my favorite video internet sites. I have long been a "Take That" fan and was glad to hear that this single was available via Amazon.

"Rule the World" features Gary Barlow's beautiful, soaring vocals while Howie Donald sings "You can rule the world" in the background. The romantic but upbeat tune and lyrics is a wonderfully complemented by Gary's soulful voice and the band performs this song in perfect pitch. The other song that comes with this is "Stay Together" which is another upbeat pop song that features Mark Owen as lead vocalist.

This is an excellent follow-up to the album "Beautiful World." If you are a Take That fan, then this is a must have. The single "Rule the World" alone is well worth the price of the CD.

I became aware of "Rule The World" last night whilst listening to a UK pop station on DirecTV. I was 1/4 way into enjoying the song before I saw that it was Take That! I can't say that I was too surprised. Take That have a knack for singing slow songs that appeal to me. I say that because I don't even like slow music! Can't stand it actually. I've listened to RTW a few times today and it's just great. Even now that I'm not listening to it, the I'm haunted by the sweet melody and dying to hear it again! My initial thought was that it has a Bee Gees flavour to it. Believe you me, that's a compliment and a half! I'll have to get a copy of this (or download it) and put it alongside my prized "Beautiful World" cd. :)

This is a beautiful song - soaring melody, sweet lyrics, and has the big chorus that has become a bit if a trademark for Take That.
The song really lets Gary's voice shine and shows his vocal dexterity. Ofcourse, their latest album, "Beautiful World", shows that Mark, Howard and Jason can sing lead, too. And, boy, can these guys write harmonies!
I totally agree with the reviews above. "Stardust" was a big hit in the US, and so I hope that this will get them noticed over there more. It's scandalous that they have not been nominated for the 'Best Original Song' Golden Globe, and they thoroughly deserve an Oscar nom..
This song is worth any price put on it, and is one of my favourite songs ever written. Well done, boys, you Rule! Altogether now... Ooooooooh, ooooooooh!

This song is timeless and also their biggest selling single since reforming, ironically it stalled at no 2 for a month behind UK/US and worldwide chart topper Bleeding love by Leona Lewis. This song is constantly used in the UK X Factor as backing music as it perfectly shows suspense and then joy. The song is a great feel good track that is liked by fans of all genres of music.

I bought this 2-song CD exclusively because of the song "Rule the World", which is featured during the end credits of the movie "StarDust". I loved this movie, and promptly bought the soundtrack, but was extremely disappointed when I found out this song was not in it. It is a rip-off, in my opinion, that you have to buy a soundtrack you love and then go and spend another $8 for just one song, (the other song in this cd is not worth it), and the reason why I only gave it 4 stars in protest. However, without this great song the soundtrack album is, in my opinion, incomplete.

A beautiful song by an amazing group. Rule The World is now one of my favorites. If the film Stardust introduced you to Take That, then be sure to check out the rest of their music. Millions of European and Asian fans can't be wrong. When will America wake up??
