December 9, 200816 yr nearly all of Oasis albums in that list !!!! great... it makes me so proud to see "be here now" #1 with 696,000 (even though it was released on a thursday!) those are only 3days of sales. I never knew that! I think that's one record that won't be broken for a long time then! Norma

By the time Spice was falling out the top 10, Spice up Your Life (lead from spiceworld) was coming out! :o nearly all of Oasis albums in that list !!!! great... it makes me so proud to see "be here now" #1 with 696,000 (even though it was released on a thursday!) those are only 3days of sales. I seem to remember it being out on the wednesday.. but i also remember it only having 3 days to sell! :lol: i am confused. Did 350k on its 1st day didn't it Jez? 1 of those was mine :D
December 12, 200816 yr 'Be here Now' definitely came out on a Thursday - Thursday 21st August 1997. It sold, (UK), over 420,000 on that 1st Day alone. 'Viva La Vida', by Coldplay, came out on a Thursday too, in June. Wikipedia says it came out on June 11th - but, that was a Wednesday - it must have been June 12th. And some sources say that 'Dangerous', by Michael Jackson, was a Thursday release, in 1991. But other sources say it came out on a normal Monday. Wikipedia says 26th November 1991 - which was a Tuesday! Edited December 12, 200816 yr by zeus555
