there is still one small thing that might save oasis... if they can get let there be love and the radio and get it even semi-advertised, theres a good chance they can start boosting album sales.... the reason i say this is because of the power that slower ballad type songs have in the states. alot of you are using green day as an example of a band thats huge right now, but when american idiot first came out, it flopped. they had come off of a horrible album (shenanigans) and the album opened with a decent start (i think it might have actually been #1 for a week), but it disappeared after that. it wasn't until they realeased boulevard of broken dreams (the blatent wonderwall rip-off) that the album picked up, and about a week after the song was released, it satyed at #1 for about 6 weeks and went from maybe hitting gold to going almost 4 times platinum. it's still in the top 30 almost a year later. another band that this happened to was hoobastank. their album debuted around #21 or 22 and disappeared in the states....they didn't even sell 100,000 copies.... then "The Reason" came out, and the song got people into them and it went on to sell 3 million copies. hoobastank had been around before this and had an album that did marginally well, but most people didn't even know they existed until they released that single. thats why i think oasis still has a chance, because LTBL is defiantely a ballad that could get alot of people hooked.... everyone I've shown it to thought it was amazing, and some even bought the album on that song alone. If this song can get some airplay and a video, it's a gamble, but it could be one that hugely pays off for them. (my evil secret plan is to get it on the radio now...my best friend is dating the daughter of the dude that has control over 2 of the biggest stations here.....my best friend already convinced him to put Lyla on and it's been on 3 times for every time a Coldplay song has been on, so i'm gonna convince them to give this song a shot)
