BEST SELLER SINCE 1997

Dido's Life For Rent has become the fastest selling British album in six years.

It has sold 255,000 copies since its release on Monday, the highest first week sales since Be Here Now by Oasis.

Record bosses expect it to sell at least 350,000 in the first week.

If so it will overtake The Beatles' greatest hits collection, 1, which sold 319,000 copies in its first week in 2000.

Life For Rent, Dido's second album, will top the chart at the weekend. It has trounced its closest rival, Robbie Williams Live At Knebworth.

Oasis broke records in 1997 when Be Here Now, their third album, sold more than a third of a million copies on its first day and reached 696,000 within three days.

Dido, 31, launched Life For Rent on Monday by chartering a plane and performing in London and New York on the same day.

i like the white flag song. it is a lovely song and she seems like a nice genuine girl.

in fact, i love that song loads. beats radiohead and their grey cloud (we are deep, you know)kak!

(they aint deep and they dont have a message!)

it is a nice song. cool video as well.
but i don't think her album will break the mark set by BHN.
I remember the hype the week before the release of BHN, it was unbelievable. people lining up outside stores overnite and stuff.
i think Oasis was in the guiness book until 'n stink broke their sales record for one week.

Shoutbox

themasterplanet: A Northern Soul by The Verve! My second favourite album by them. I love the atmosphere of it, it’s very dreamy and melancholic and dark. It holds many memories for me and I think that’s partly responsible for why I love it so much. Sept 6, 2024 18:57:34 GMT -5

AllOrNothing: Up in the Sky sounds like the La's on steroids, especially that Liam Falsetto that I can almost picture Lee Mavers singing with all his big teeth showing Sept 12, 2024 7:52:29 GMT -5

ennex: G'day folks, Sept 21, 2024 4:51:22 GMT -5

colincarrot: Hello! I'm new here and looking to download Liam Gallagher bootlegs from here and found this thread here - forum.live4ever.uk.com/thread/86703/liam-gallagher-tour-2017-2018 - with a list of concerts but if I click on any of the links... (1/2) Sept 23, 2024 10:47:13 GMT -5

colincarrot: ...it says I don't have permission to access this thread, maybe it's because I only joined today but I'm not sure what to do, could somebody help or know what to do?

mimmihopps: colincarrot, the thread is still active, but you do need to log in to access to the thread as it's in Sound & Vision board. Hope it helps. Sept 24, 2024 4:26:30 GMT -5 *

Bring It On Dan: I have so much shit on an old hard drive somewhere but I just cannot find it. Nothing 'out there' but probably 200 gigs or so. I can't remember the name of the site that had all the gigs listed and sources for loads of gigs next to it? I remember RKID 003. Sept 24, 2024 17:34:46 GMT -5

mimmihopps: Bring It On Dan, it must be sadsong.net. I don't know if the site still exists. Sept 25, 2024 7:20:44 GMT -5

gottabecrazy: RKID003 was a great resource, they shared a lot there there really. I wish something similar could be up again. Sept 25, 2024 17:50:23 GMT -5

PollyWantsACracker: Been off the site for over half a decade, good to see it still going strong after all these years. Good to be frickin back again eh. I thought of the place after hearing today from a friend that Oasis is back in business again. Sept 26, 2024 17:07:27 GMT -5

RUBIKON: I'm gonna restart the Oasis MP3 Archive is anyone's intersted in helping? I ran it in 2000 to 2002 and was a great site. Used to use mIRC to get all the boots. I'll build the site, just need links to one drives and files. PM me if you fancy helping out Sept 29, 2024 8:31:27 GMT -5

Bonehead's Barber: spooky! Oct 17, 2024 8:13:01 GMT -5

AllOrNothing: Well my Halloween theory might not have been true... I wish the banner came back in its original form

ginwaiting: Hey I was lucky to get tickets for Heaton Park on the 19th July, my mate also got tickets so we have all decided to go on another night so I would like to sell my tickets for the 19th. Please drop me a message if you interested. Thanks Nov 6, 2024 7:17:10 GMT -5
