Posted October 7, 200817 yr Oasis dig out huge first-day sales for new album 10:40 | Tuesday October 7, 2008 By Paul Williams Oasis have claimed one of the fastest first-day sales of the year with their new album Dig Out Your Soul selling nearly 90,000 units during its first day of business. The Big Brother-issued album up to yesterday was outselling the present number one, Hand Me Down/Columbia act Kings of Leon’s Only By The Night, by nearly five units to one. The Kings of Leon album itself only three weeks ago achieved one of 2008’s best first days when it opened with just under 80,000 sales. The Oasis retrospective Stop The Clocks, also released by Big Brother through Sony BMG, should make a return to the Top 40 this weekend, moving up from its present chart position of 34. The new Oasis album is expected to be joined in the Top 10 this coming Sunday by Columbia’s new Bob Dylan set Tell Tell Signs – Bootleg Series Vol 8. The last Bootleg album reached 21 in September 2005, the highest chart placing to date for the series. Around new entries from Oasis and Dylan, the current chart is set to shuffle around with last Sunday’s big new entries at two and three, 19/RCA act Will Young’s Let It Go and Polydor act James Morrison’s Songs For You Truths For Me, both likely to move down a place when the new chart is unveiled. Slam Dunk Records signings You Me At Six are challenging for a Top 20 debut, while the chart will also welcome in a new entry from The Clash, The Sony BMG-issued Live At Shea Stadium, and a Chicane retrospective, which is released through independent Modena. While they are almost certainties to top the albums chart, Oasis on singles can probably say goodbye to their attempt to head the chart with The Shock Of The Lightning, which debuted at three on Sunday but is now slipping down. It continues to be outsold by the current number one, LaFace/RCA act Pink’s So What, which still leads the market this week, and the Kings of Leon hit Six On Fire, but Oasis have now been overtaken by Island act Sugababes’ Girls. A&M/Polydor signings The Courteeners are in a two-way battle with B Unique/Polydor’s Kaiser Chiefs for highest new entry honours, although both their new tracks – That Kiss and Never Miss A Beat – are almost certainties for Top 10 placings. Hard2Beat’s Platnum’s latest single Love Shy (Thinking About You) has so far gained around 70% in sales from last week following its physical debut on Monday. Meanwhile, new entry activity within the Top 40 this coming weekend should include Relentless/Virgin’s Cage The Elephant and Fiction/Polydor’s Snow Patrol.

October 7, 200817 yr download entries from Snow Patrol and DJ Sash. Is Sash! Feat. Stunt - Raindrops out? It's not on iTunes...
October 7, 200817 yr Author Is Sash! Feat. Stunt - Raindrops out? It's not on iTunes... I shall blame Rich for that, as he was expected it to chart on downloads in his commentary :heehee:
October 7, 200817 yr Im happy either way for Pink or Sugababes. Im sorta leaning towards Pink cos I prefer that song, but id be very happy if the Sugababes got it to :) I think it'll be Pink though! :)
October 7, 200817 yr Yeah I think Pink just has the edge. I slightly prefer it, and Boots seem to have messed up their promotion of the Sugas...
October 7, 200817 yr Oh dear will Kings of leon ever drop out top3? I'm so sick of it and I never liked it in first place...I really don't understand that hype all of a sudden!
October 7, 200817 yr Wow The Courteeners came out of nowhere! Haven't heard the song at all. Glad to see MGMT climbing and Jordin's Tattoo finally going top 40 :) Edited October 7, 200817 yr by TomKay
October 7, 200817 yr Oh dear will Kings of leon ever drop out top3? I'm so sick of it and I never liked it in first place...I really don't understand that hype all of a sudden! I really like it, and I'm not normally a rock fan though i like pop/rock. I'm glad its doing well.
October 7, 200817 yr Great top 2 once more, P!nk's first ever no.1 to stay more than a week hopefully!
October 7, 200817 yr Wow The Courteeners came out of nowhere! Haven't heard the song at all. Glad to see MGMT climbing and Jordin's Tattoo finally going top 40 :) I've just listened to snippet on Itunes and its a nice song. Wouldn't have expected it to do so well though, it must be high on physicals cos its really low on Itunes
