I know initially with the debut album he exceeded expectations (as he himself has acknowledged). But he has, at the very least, maintained that level of success into his follow up album. Being in the US, it's hard for me to properly gauge how and where Noel is currently ranked as a solo artist.
I know he sold out the UK tour within the hour (or thereabouts). But that's perhaps more to do with the fact he didn't offer enough shows, rather than an outrageous demand(?). But where do people see Noel's level of success at the moment? The US aside, can he be seen as standing with the likes of the Arctic Monkeys? Or is he still below that level?
I just started watching the pro-shot Paris gig right now, and I will say this: I haven't seen Noel have this much fun on stage since the 2005 DBTT, and perhaps even prior. The energy and sense of enjoyment he has right now while playing is fantastic to see. I really do admire this man. He's turned into quite a cool rockstar. I much prefer 2005-2015 Noel to the Noel from the '90s. Well in.

Level of success?
In terms of albums and charts he's a niche product.
In terms of concerts he's probably a level under the big names mostly due for his past and that he's kept his performances (vocals, setlists...) at a decent level.
But in my heart he'll always be number one <3 <3

Coldplay are obviously above every other band in terms of success
Noel enjoys similar charts performances to Muse,Kasabian and Arctic Monkeys,but when it comes to gigs he's still behind as Muse can sell out stadiums and Kasabian and AM have had more than a few gigs as festival headliners,that's also cause they attract more younger fans than our Noely
I think T in The Park could be a turning point for him tho

The only rock acts that sold more copies than him since 2010 are Coldplay, Bon Jovi (greatest hits), AM and Kings of Leon. He's up there.
The first album sold 780k copies in UK or so (double platinum), this one will be a platinum disc which is not bad. And yes, he outsold guys like Foo Fighters, Muse, Kasabian (CY sold more copies than 48:13) and the list goes on.
Also this tour is much bigger. He sold out the arena tour in minutes with high prices. He's headlining T in The Park which is big. And Clapham Calling which is basically a solo gig with 45k people in London.
He's on the top of the bill when we talk about indie rock/rock music.

Their Heathen Chemistry - so much dross and filler. Exactly. Not to mention, they also have good singles to represent the album, just like HC. |

I'll be honest, I dont like his new album aside from The right stuff and In the heat of the moment, but this album seems to be doing very well and I think its now safe to say that Noel should be considered among the greatest songwriters of all time..(imo that was set a long time ago)

I just dont like the songs tbh...especially TBOMI. The dying of the light is good but not one id really listen to. The right stuff is amazing imo, i'd have preferred it if he would have based his album around songs like that but thats just me  |

Was thinking the exact same thing. But I think he means that since the album has been received well - even though he himself doesn't like it - it provides Noel with critical acclaim. I think he's speaking objectively with that sentence. |
