Offered the first full take from the throne #1 (permalink) Sun Jul 26, 2009 2:33 am   Offered the first full take from the throne
 

He would soon fire his father as his manager and vow that his next record, "Thriller," would make him the biggest star in the business - a promise met like few others. "Thriller" sold more than 20 million copies initially and sales now top 50 million. It earned him the title he bestowed on himself, "The King of Pop," and offered the first full take from the throne.



How do I understand "offered the first full take from the throne"?

It is from here:http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/31614225/ns/entertainment-music/.

Thanks!

"Gary Barlow skeptical about the full Take That reunion" This is title on Gary Barlow at http://melodyplant.com/2009/03/31/gary-barlow-skeptical-about-the-full-take-that-reunion/
Is this connected to 'cutting an album? This 'take' may be connected to cinema shooting or album preparing where a full take in one single go may be attempted.
in box-office terms, take also refers to the money a film's release has made http://www.filmsite.org/filmterms19.html

You can use take to refer to the amount of money that a business such as a store or theatre gets from selling its goods or tickets during a particular period. N-SING usu 'the' N US Biz:Business
It added another $11.8 million to the take, for a grand total of $43 million.

I think this may also mean to get the full benefit in all aspects like popularity, money etc. Cinema or music critics may be in a better position in giving us the meaning for this 'full take.'
best of luck, nanucbe.
