Posted October 13, 200816 yr So the Oasis single drops like a bomb from No. 3 to No. 16 with not much comment from people. So why is it that another big fanbase act like McFly get so much stick when one of their singles does something similar?!
October 13, 200816 yr thats unusual, oasis dont usually bomb like that... i dont think even the saturdays will bomb that bad!! :lol:
October 13, 200816 yr Oasis album went in at number 1 at the same time as the drop selling 200k +... That should answer your question
October 13, 200816 yr thats unusual, oasis dont usually bomb like that... i dont think even the saturdays will bomb that bad!! :lol: Their last single did too, I think it's because they don't shift many downloads so they don't have very good chart runs these days. Oasis album went in at number 1 at the same time as the drop selling 200k +... That should answer your question What about last year when "Lord Don't Slow Me Down" went [10-31-55]?

Because oasis sold 200k albums in one week and have some of the biggest selling singles of the nineties so we kinda forgive them for a single they release in 2008
October 13, 200816 yr Oasis album went in at number 1 at the same time as the drop selling 200k +... That should answer your question then again, Kings Of Leon sold 220k of their album in the first week and it barely dented the success of the single, which stayed at No.1
October 13, 200816 yr I don't think Oasis care about the singles chart. They are more of an album band. At least they have the number 1 album SO NER!
October 13, 200816 yr the album sales definitly hampered the single plus as an oasis fan this is certianly not up their with their best singles
October 13, 200816 yr Oasis usually drop fairly fast with their singles so this is a bit of a non-story. -_-
October 13, 200816 yr Oasis usually drop fairly fast with their singles so this is a bit of a non-story. -_- I don't remember "The Importance Of Being Idle" - which was released a few months after "Don't Believe The Truth" - dropping this quickly.
October 13, 200816 yr Oasis singles ALWAYS do that though! And most proper Indie bands do that too! KOL's single is appealing to other people outside their fanbase hence why it was #1!
October 13, 200816 yr I don't remember "The Importance Of Being Idle" - which was released a few months after "Don't Believe The Truth" - dropping this quickly. Hence the USUALLY, meaning not always.
October 13, 200816 yr Other acts that have done the same regularly include Morrissey Paul Weller Iron Maiden
October 13, 200816 yr i dont think 'The Shock Of The Lightning' was a great comeback like previous first singles from one of their albums
October 13, 200816 yr oh for F*cks sake its really insulting to bring Mcfly and Oasis in the same equation!! Oasis have sold more than 7million singles and 13millon albums in the uk.
October 13, 200816 yr You'll find most proper Indie bands do it as most people buy the physical in the first week, Morrissey especially does that all the time with his last going from 14 down to 71!

Its silly that somone post a thread about this... for the fact that they want Mcfly to be more credible...i'm sorry but Mcfly are a big joke.

What about last year when "Lord Don't Slow Me Down" went [10-31-55]? urm that was only a download single to promote a DVD! it had hardly any promo :rolleyes:
October 13, 200816 yr I don't suppose it matters too much how singles do in the charts, it's never mattered really, there's never been an act that's had a long and lasting career, by just selling singles alone. Initially, any new act first gets noticed by their singles, say for instance, The Saturdays. If the singles sell really well, (not chart well, sell well) they'll get to release an album and that has to sell, or else they'll not be around for very long.
