Another thing: does anybody know if DBTT has already topped 1 million sales in the UK? If so, Oasis would be one of the very few artists to reach 7 million-selling albums, and I don't know any to have more than 7. Currently certified triple platinum for 900,000 shipped (source: BPI)- note this doesn't mean sold. |

Yeah, I know, and chartmasters estimated DBTT at 980000 in 2017, so I was hoping for some additional (chart)sales. |

60/70 million albums worldwide plus depending on single sales aswell which stand at around 13 million alone in uk I think I’d say they sold a fair few records in total

Oasis sold almost 5 millions Morning Glory in USA, not bad for a band that "never made it" there.

Oasis sold almost 5 millions Morning Glory in USA, not bad for a band that "never made it" there. It makes me wonder - what does classify as having 'made it'? I know that officially, 'Wonderwall' is their only true hit single in the US. But I read that had chart rules not deemed them ineligible, 'Champagne Supernova' and 'Don't Go Away' would have both made the Top 40. That along with two additional albums having gone Platinum, and three reaching the Top Five. Strange, especially when compared with other big UK acts they often say "didn't make it"; The Smiths (three gold albums, no Top 40 singles) Take That (no hit albums, one Top 10 single) Paul Weller's entire career (no hit albums, one Top 40 single) Blur (one gold album, no Top 40 singles but Song 2 is admittedly well-known) Slade (one Top 40 album, two Top 40 singles) James (one gold album, no Top 40 singles) Madness (no hit albums, two Top 40 singles including a Top Ten hit in Our House) Robbie Williams (one gold album, no Top 40 singles) |

Take That comes close in the UK, but none are big global sellers. Even Blur has never been in their league after August 1995. Don't get me wrong, I like most of these artists, but Oasis is way different for claiming to be a big global selling rockband, and to live up to that claim, they should have sold a bit (or a lot) more in the States. |

Yes i think thats why they say it about Oasis. It's that while they did crack the US, they should have been bigger given their status elsewhere. And they also get tagged with the label because they do have a standout, signature song there. Ive often heard Americans say that for people who aren't into music, the sole song the public widely know the name Oasis for is Wonderwall. A bit like Blur with Song 2 over there. So it kind of paints them into that 'one hit wonder' box, which is often linked with someone not making it. Of those artists I would say only Robbie Williams has bigger UK album sales than Oasis (20 mil vs 16 mil). Not sure about singles. |

Music Week stated on Friday that The Masterplan, now on about 973k sales, will be Oasis' 8th million seller next year, including streaming sales.

Oasis now is mentioned on the Wikipedia page 'Best selling music artists' with 75M claimed record sales (for what it's worth) and 58,8M certified sales (streaming included)

They trail only Ed Sheeran, Drake, Rihanna, Taylor Swift, Eminem and Queen. Weirdly enough, even the Beatles have fewer certified units than them, though I don’t know if that one’s 100% accurate. Oasis are also just ahead of Coldplay, Elton John and Michael Jackson. |

I wonder if Oasis will eventually catch up due to anniversary releases, as I can't see people revisiting Robbie's albums with the same desire? |

Im not sure , i think Oasis are now on about 17m albums certified in the UK. Where they may catch up to him is singles. In the UK, Robbie has only 2 multi-platinum singles, the highest being 3x platinum. Aside from those, he has only five single platinum singles and three gold ones. While Oasis have seven multi-platinum singles (the highest at 7x), nine more that are single platinum and ten on gold. |

Robbie Williams has 20m UK album sales??! Does that include Take That?
His biggest selling album has ‘only’ done 2.5m or so, so I’m really surprised by that

It was 75m in 2005.
It’s been 20 years. Wonder when Oasis will hit the 100m mark.

His biggest one did about 3m i think. He averaged about 2m per album for his first six, with one going 10x platinum (3m), three 8x (2.4m), one 7x (2.1m) and one 5x (1.5m). After that, his sales nosedived somewhat and hes averaged about 500k per LP over the six albums since. In addition hes had a hits album sell about 2.5m in the UK and a couple of others sell about 1m in total. So Id say hes on about 19m overall for the UK (12m + 3m + 2.5m + 1m). |

It was 75m in 2005. It’s been 20 years. Wonder when Oasis will hit the 100m mark. Would love to see it but I honestly find it unlikely. 80M is likely and possibly 85M, but with how much sales have declined since 2005, I can’t see where the interest will come from to reach 100M, given theres no new music from them. |

The lack of recent certifications don't help the sales figures. I imagine it's because the management/Noel isn't that bothered but BHN hasn't been certified since 1998 I believe.
Also WTSMG I imagine has/will have overtaken Adele again given it charts way above every her every week.

MG is currently 300k behind 21 and 350k behind Sgt Peppers as the biggest selling album of all time in the UK (not including Best Ofs) and I honestly think there’s an outside chance it’ll make it.
The anniversary is next year and no doubt they’ll be some sort of deluxe reissue which idiots like us will lap up, not to mention it’s always in the charts anyway.

Slowly but surely it might get there, or at least very close in the next ten or twenty years. |

Back then, a Platinum single needed the same as the US now - 1 million units. Pretty sure Mull of Kintyre was the first single in UK history to ever be multi-platinum, Band Aid being second. Before Oasis they ultimately lowered it to 600k here, while lowering it from 2m to 1m in the States. |

Oasis worldwide album sales stand at around 75 million and total record sales now at 100 million .
They also are one of the bands that need their back catalogue sales updating . In the uk morning glory sales to me are way off , that albums now been in the top 50 for about the last 6 years alone , it’s consistently sold every year for the past nearly 30 years yet it sales rarely shift.
Then look at wonderwall, they recently claimed the killers topped it, absolute impossible , it’s sold alone into double figures in the millions worldwide , it’s been streamed into the billions , wonderwall is officially one the biggest songs of all time .
Their single sales worldwide must stand at around 40 million?? Alone in the uk nearly every single is 500k sales .
Under Alan McGee alone from the first 3 albums I think he stated they shifted 41 million records in a small time frame , the rate at one point they were shifting records was incredible .
A lot like to talk down the oasis sales but facts are facts and they are now proving their value in British musical history

75M albums seems too high, 100M records also a bit
1. The two, albums and records, get mixed up a lot, especially when record companies or managers want to get some publicity.
2. Alan McGee probably isn't an exception
3. 41M until '98 probably includes singles and the Masterplan
4. Singles at 500k in the UK includes streaming, so that doesn't reflect record sales, only 7 singles probably sold that much.
