Talk:Oasis discography

Worldwide album sales

Oasis sold aproximately 49 million copies from their studio albums by July 2006.

* They did no such thing. Their own official website (which if anything will exaggerate their sales) states that they sold less that 40 million by July 2006, and with an extra 2 mill from Stop The Clocks, that would bring their total up to about the 40 mill mark by 2007 (give or take a mill).

Furthermore, it is NOT POSSIBLE for "Whats The Story" to have sold 20 million copies worldwide, and to suggest that it has is blatant and deliberate misinformation and an abuse of Wikipedia.

Please note that Wikipedia is NOT a fan website, although fans are, of course, more than welcome to post information on it. However, they should remember that it is an online encyclopedia and has to maintain unbiased and informative content, and all information has to be verifiable from RELIABLE sources (i.e. - not fan websites or fans' own wishful thinking). If users persist in posting deliberately false information on Wikipedia pages, they will have their accounts and/or IP numbers blocked permanently.

thats weird: Don! t believe the truth sold 400 thousand copies in us??? last what ive heard was about 190 thousand.....?????

Morning glory sold 40 millions?

[1]

It says: Second album, What's The Story, (Morning Glory), from which several of the tracks here are drawn, remains the highest ever certified album at 14 x platinum whilst their combined album sales total close to, a remarkable 40 million sales worldwide.

I still have doubts about it, so I won't edit the page yet...

• They mean that their combined album sales (of ALL of their albums together) have sold just close to 40 million worldwide.

• I find it difficult to believe "Whats The Story" has sold 20 million copies worldwide. It has sold 4m in the US and 4.2m in the UK...it is extremely unlikely it could have sold another 11 million elsewhere. A credible citation should be added for such a claim (and I dont mean one from some biased Oasis fansite).

• Actually, the worldwide total for "Whats The Story" comes to just over 11 million based on the international sales figures included on the main page, which will now likely be in the region of 12 million when accounting for more recent sales since those figures were last updated. Some idiot probably made it up to 20 million mistakenly thinking that UK platinum sales equal 1 million, when in fact it is only 300,000 for a UK platinum disc. Their total album sales will probably come to just over 40 million though. It's a lot, but hardly Michael Jackson.

its rumoured, thriller has sold 60 mio til nowadays, but from where do you think, comes the other half of the sales(besides 30 mio in us, perhaps less) from all around the world..? is that impossible, too?? why shpuld that be impossible that sales of mg are close to 20 mio or even more? of course there are countries or even whole continent which cannot be included in terms of sales(africa), but there is more in this world than just uk an us

Sibling rivalry?

Should Sibling rivalry be on this page?SimonFromLids 08:49, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

I think you're thinking of "Wibbling Rivalry". I'm not too sure about mentioning coz if I remeber correctly it is a bootleg. However, if is a very high-profile, significant and well-known bootleg so I'm not sure.--Crestville 15:18, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

Missing Album

I recall an album with part of an evil girls face, where it that? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 12.41.204.3 (talk) 20:52, 5 December 2006 (UTC).

OK, I think the album is 'Stop the Clocks', but when I surf for it a different cover comes up.

Rating?

Okay, I remember seeing this as a model for discographies a long while ago, but I forget what WikiProject/Portal i linked from. Anyway, this is a very detailed and comprehensive article, and I feel it should be recognized. How about even going for a GA rating? I think it's worthy, other than the fact that there are barely any citations for sales figures. What do you guys think? -- Reaper X 19:29, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

Sales figures too overbloated to be considered maybe.--Play Brian Moore 14:01, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

Noel Assessment of Sales

Im sure in a newsnight interview Noel said Oasis sold 45 million albums - Might be bloated but hs bank balance may suggest otherwise [[2]] In top right of page there is a link for interview. Oasis have not sold 50 million albums. But 40 for sure. Including singles Oasis have sold over 50 million records in total as on that BBC programme 'The Gallaghers Millions' it said they have sold 6 million single in UK alone. Im sure another 4 have been sold outside uk as wonderwall is platinum in USA.
