Oh I see :P

 

It's hard to believe 'Be Here Now' has'nt even passed 2 million conidering it sold 1 million within 2 weeks :lol:

 

I think after everyone realised how bad it was in comparison with What's The Story et al word of mouth kinda stopped their chances of 2 million :lol:

Yeah, you must be right :lol: I think it's under-rated myself although at the time was such a dissapointment compared to Definatly Maybe and Morning Glory :(

 

Btw. here is the top 10 fastest selling albums ever in the UK. Does anyone think Oasis and the Beatles could sell enough to be in this list? :unsure:

 

1. BE HERE NOW Oasis 695,751 (813,000 7days) :o

2. X&Y Coldplay 464,471

3. LIFE FOR RENT Dido 400,351

4. INTENSIVE CARE Robbie Williams 373,832

5. WHATEVER PEOPLE SAY I AM, THAT'S WHAT I'M NOT Arctic Monkeys 363,735

6. RATTLE & HUM U2 360,000

7. BAD Michael Jackson 350,000

8. MORNING GLORY Oasis 347,000

I think the Beatles may claim third place on that list and Oasis 9th ^_^

OF COURSE NOT!!!

I think the Beatles may claim third place on that list and Oasis 9th ^_^

 

That would push Robbie out though :( :P

 

I definatly think The Beatles will sell over 300k, I also hope Oasis do as well. ^_^

 

I cant wait for the mid-weeks :dance:

I reckon The Beatles will be like new at #26

Well, this is going to be one hell of a battle next week for the 1 album. ^_^

 

there was an article in the press about it today. v important is 'super monday to both retailers and record companies.

I reckon The Beatles will be like new at #26

 

getting loads of 4 stars and 5 stars in the press

I reckon The Beatles will be like new at #26

 

You are living on another planet if you seriously think that :lol:

I agree with him. Beatles will be new at 18

I agree with him. Beatles will be new at 18

 

If you think they will be #18 then you obviously don't agree with him :rolleyes:

 

Anyone who seriously think they will be outside the top 5 are clearly mad! :wacko:

I agree with him. Beatles will be new at 18

 

That is about as likely as both the MacDonald Bros winning X-Factor 3 and Jan Leeming winning I'm A Celebrity..... :rofl:

 

The last Beatles Compiliation "1" sold over 28 million copies worldwide, which is more than the total number of Westlife albums sold worldwide.

It's nearly double Westlife's album sales :lol:

 

Also, by the way things are going, I think the MacDonals Bros will actually win the XF :(

Poor U2 btw, no votes at all. The only album that actually has new material on it :lol:

 

beatles,oasis,u2 (that would be probably the best top3 ever) imo.

I agree, probebly my 3 favourite bands ever :wub:

Westlife sold nearly 40 million albums.

it will be interesting to see first week sales.

 

The hardcore fanbase will buy stop the clocks for 2 reasons.

 

1-To complete their collections

2-It comes with a brand New DVD

 

Westlife sold nearly 40 million albums.

Still doesn't make them a good artist

I've checked a few sites to get an idea of how things might go. I've either taken the info from a Pre-Release/Order Chart or extracted the albums from the sites main charts:

 

Amazon:

 

1 Now 65

2 Westlife

3 Beatles

4 Take That

5 Now Xmas

6 Oasis

7 Il Divo

8 U2

 

Play:

 

1 Oasis

2 Westlife

3 U2

4 Beatles

5 Take That

(Now 65 is top in separate compiliation chart)

 

HMV:

 

1 Oasis

2 Westlife

3 Take That

4 Now 65

5 Beatles

6 U2

 

CD-Wow:

 

1 Westlife

2 Now 65

3 Oasis

4 U2

5 Beatles

 

So based on those charts it looks like the battle is between Oasis & Westlife.

Westlife sold nearly 40 million albums.

 

Charis, please, just stop acting to ignorant for once -_-

 

Westlife have sold NOWHERE NEAR the amount that Simon or Louis make out. Simon and Louis are known for exaggerated sales of their acts, hence why they said Shayne Ward had sold 3 million :rolleyes:

 

Westlife have SHIPPED less then 15 million albums in Europe, meaing they sold far less. FACT!

 

They has only sold about 200k in Austrailia and hardly anything in South or North America (their last album only sold 3,000 in Brazil :lol: ).

 

They have sold far less than 20 million albums, their record company and deluded fansites like to make up ridiculous figures such as Coast to coast selling 12 million. Anyone that knows anything know that is bull$h!te.

 

Westlife have sold way less than 20 million albums. -_-

 

Now, this thread is not a Westlife thead so I am saying no more -_-
