As of 29 September Chasing Yesterday is the 9th best selling album of UK in 2015. dont suppose you know what his sales are? close to platinum?? a realistic estimated guess would but it about 235k |

As of June 24 he had sold 186.000 in the UK alone. 235.000 worldwide as of now seems a bit unlikely. It's probably more. I don't believe he's only sold 50.000 (actually less, as it has stayed in the UK charts until last week) in the entire rest of the world.

Yes common sence would say 235k is a bit unlikely world wide but thats irrelevant to the question asked.. They were asking if he's gone platinum (in the uk charts) in reference to it being the 9th best selling album in the uk this year. Being in top 40 is low sales maybe thousands per week and being nearer top hundred probably hundreds per week so when the last 'estimate' came through few months ago was 215k in the uk an extra 20k sales is probably generous . |

I think there is a chance for a new single for his 2016 tour, The Dying of the Light? Why bother? It'll just under perform in the charts. Besides, the song is already out. All you have to do is download it on iTunes right now. That's why releasing singles after an album drops and expecting them to chart well is extremely unlikely. Especially for a 48 year old man.  In that case, why not release the album after all the singles have been released? Releasing an album and then have every single bomb seems pointless. If he released say 4 singles before the album, his exposure would be extended over a longer period. I know some acts in Japan do this and it seems to work well. |

And along with it, during the 2-4 year break that Noel might take, he should have 1 or 2 standalone singles released to keep his name relevant between album releases. It should be easy enough to record a stand alone track ahead of time if it's too much trouble to head into a studio. |

Singles released after the album help keeping the album in the charts, that's why theu get released

Yes. And album sales are more important than singles.

Yeah it's not completely accurate tho it can't be any more than +/- 10k sales as that would put him either 10 or 8th. So guessing is at least 95% accurate. Florence is still in the top 20 if it was more than a few weeks old she'd easily caught up the 9k sales difference and over taken him for the top 40 albums list |

Well, since Noel's management is shit, that'll never happen, no matter how much sense there is in that strategy. Trouble is both Noel and his management are stuck in the 90s when you would release taster singles before the album, then perhaps one or two more after release to keep interest fresh in the LP. If you go back to the 70s when artists could be genuinely intriguing where you couldnt find out absolutely everything about them and see footage of the bassist recording hungover in his underwear, Led Zeppelin refused to release singles aside from allowing AOR stations to play selected tracks after an edited version of Whole Lotta Love was released without approval. Personally the way quite a few independent artists do it who I've worked with is to release a taster as a free download or stream via Spotify, YT , etc. then put the LP out and promote it through social media, live gigs and any synchronisation opportunities that may arise. I think an artist of Noel's stature could do similar and concentrate solely on radio singles in that sort of way, which can still generate revenue, leave more options for songs to go on an LP instead of B-sides, and continue to sell LPs. |
