I have yet to hear a song that will convince non Oasis fans to buy the album. Of course WE love the songs; we're all Oasis fans. People bitched about marketing before the release of every Oasis album, blaming the lack of promotion for lackluster sales. But there's a reason WTSMG was a hit in the US. It had the best songs. Period. IIHAG isn't DLBIA or Wonderwall. It just isn't. I could care less about album sales, but there's no way in the hell this album will be "massive."

I see what you're saying, and you're right, but you know what I mean. It's not like Oasis were huge because of the sibling rivalry. They had amazing songs. And yes, those songs are better than their most recent output. |

In an effort to somewhat salvage this thread, I will say that I think this is going to be Noel's most commercially successful endeavor in America. Internet advertising is at an all-time high, and Noel's PR team is doing a very good job of promoting him right now.

Maybe it won't sell the most records, but it will propel him into the conscious of the American music fan. WTSMG sold well because of Wonderwall and Champagne Supernova, not because anybody gave a fuck about Noel (or any of the others)  |

did somebody say 1.5 million albums sold.... in America? pff...  Adele has just over 3 mill. albums sold, and she's selling by the bucket load by today standards at least. 1.5 mill. for Noel isn't even in the discussion. People should be happy if he just equals the Oasis record sales in the US for DOYS. That in itself would be a major victory, but 1.5 mill. I love Noel, but really 1.5 million? C'mon guys. Nice to hope, but I wouldn't hold my breath. EDIT: Just found the actual comment, and I don't know if the poster was actually alluding toward Noel selling 1.5 million, or if he was just saying that that's considered a good number now and days, and just threw out as an example. |

Noel isn't a 20-something who shakes his ass around the stage, and he's not black! No way in hell he sells even a million in the US.  |

Good job. Yes, it's shocking that Britrock doesn't sell by the boatload in America where hip-hop, Lady Gaga and Miley Cyrus are king. Also, to clarify, I didn't mean that Noel would sell 1.5M. I was just saying 4M is an impossibility in today's age, but just because he doesn't reach that number doesn't mean his solo effort couldn't be considered a resounding success in America. I'll re-iterate, I think this album could make Noel a "name" in the American music landscape. |

Good job. Guys can't shake their ass around the stage too. And I don't think it was even close to racist. Trust me, I'm half black. Or trust half of me, whatever. |

Considering DGSS sold less than 400k worldwide I don't think my standards are low at all ;D DGSS has been -commercially speaking- a total disappointment imo. Critically speaking, it's been the opposite. But why are we talking about BDI and DGSS ? Noel's supposed to do better when it comes to sales, that's a given. but let's not pretend like "oh he did better than Liam's band, therefore it's a success" That's just a cop-out. |

I certainly wouldn't consider 1 million worldwide as "low' standards.
I also believe that it would be a great victory for him if he could sell over a million copies worldwide. DOYS sold around 1.5 million around the world, so yeah 1 million would be a big thing for Noel.
It's not low expectations for him to sell a million, it's actually just right. If you take in account his fanbase, where he is in his career, and the state of the music business in general.
So yeah, if he came even close without the Oasis name to what DOYS sold with the Oasis name, then that would be a huge success for him.

We should be comparing Noel's album to the sales of DOYS if we have to compare it to anything, certainly not DGSS. I agree with spaneli, if Noel can sell 1 million albums, that will be a huge success for him. Anything more than that is just icing.
