Pretty good charting considering that it was probably largely only bought by Oasis fans. And considering they're a new band. Most new bands would be happy with getting a top 30 in America on the first crack. Better than Definitely Maybe (at least in terms of chat position)  |

Anyone know where DM originally charted? #58. Still the lowest chart position for an official studio album by Oasis. Funny how people use to say that Oasis albums didnt do well in America. BDI might have just offered a bit of perspective, on how good Oasis did over here. (even though I'm pretty sure a lot of Oasis fans did not buy the BDI album in the US. At least not the casual ones) |

To add a bit of perspective......
SOTSOG charted at 24 in the US & HC at 23, the Japanese chart positions were also similar. So considering that was around 10 years ago and this is technically a 'new band' then BE have done well.
If Jessie J hadnt brought her album forward it would have been #2 in the UK too so they can be very pleased with themselves.

I;m pretty sure all there albums were number ones in Japan - they never would have charted that low. |

From wikipedia Dm 34 WTS 8 BHN 3 SOTSOG 4 HC 3 DBTT 1 DOYS 2 The only country that can compare to the UK in number ones albums is Ireland(all number ones with the only exeption of DOYS) |

the position where it charted is terrible(for a new band) by any means but...
14 thousand copies sold is pretty bad imo.
we all can say "this is a new band" all we want but the fact of the matter is that this is basically Oasis(minus Noel) so make out of that what you will.

The arguments that BDI can't be compared with Oasis because of name recognition has traction. But neither can BDI be compared to actual new bands starting out. They are in a weird place in the middle. Correct me if I am wrong but there isn't a lot of previous of a single member leaving a large band and the rest of the band staying together but under a new name. I don't even know what to compare them to... |

But neither of those groups kept the frontman. They immediately sounded significantly different since they had a totally new voice. They only thing that has changed about BDI is about half the songwriting credits. Noel isn't an amazing technical guitarist so they lose much if anything in that respect. |

Noel isn't an amazing technical guitarist so they lose much if anything in that respect. Steve Mariott left the Small Faces. Singer, songwriter, and guitarist for the Small Faces. The Small Faces had only one hit in the US, Itchycoo Park. Highly successful in the UK, only moderately successful in the US. They soon became the Faces and had a couple hits in the US and 1 pretty good album. Very very very much like Oasis to BDI transition. The only major difference is that when Marriott left (clearly the creative force behind the group), he was replaced by a little known Rod Stewart. But that is the closest example that I can think of. |

26th isn't bad by any means. 14,000 copies is, though. But then again, the name change and illegal downloads complicates these things even more.
Remember, noone was downloading illegally in 2000 with SOTSOG, and barely in 2002 with HC. Let's put things more in perspective.

Not True at ALL about HC, HC was downloaded illegally big time! just look at the NME review of it, its in the first sentence!! napster was in full swing in 2002 and i downloaded it (and bought it) and everyone else i know who liked oasis did also. it leaked a long time before release as well. Band even roumoured they were demos (not true) to increase physical sales
