Well Dig Out Your Soul is probably going to be Oasis's worst selling studio album
I think its done just over 1 million in the 3 months its been out, but thats thanks to a few countries where they still have some power like UK, Italy and Japan
But it has been recieved quite well as its ended up on a few end of year best album lists and despite having 2 poorly charting singles there have been a few positive notes
1)- The Shock of the Lightning is on course to be Oasis' 3rd biggest radio hit ever in the USA behind Wonderwall and Champagne Supernova
The Shock of the Lightning - Spins 26977 (still doing 300 odd per day)
Audience - 127.981 million
2) First time since Be Here Now era that Oasis have had 2 hit singles in France!
3) Selling out a massive tour in Europe- didnt do to bad in the USA either before xmas
4) 7th straight studio album #1 in UK - 4th #1 Album in Italy- 3rd #1 Album in Japan
5) First time since Dont Go Away in 1997 Oasis hit the Billboard Hot 100 as The Shock of The Lightning got to #93. Not a big deal in general but for Oasis fans its great news.
6) 3rd top 5 USA album - Oasis will never be massive in USA. But i cant stand people who say they have done nothing over there. Its a shame as i'm sure americans could appreciate some more Oasis on their radio. Well more than the usual spins for Wonderwall, Champagne Supernova, Live Forever, Dont Look Back in Anger and Lyla.
But....
Dig Out Your Soul still has some life. Still at least one more single minimum and loads more dates on the world tour
I think Oasis will beat their record for their own biggest tour as they will easily play to over 3 million people on the Dig out Your Soul Tour. Dont Believe the Truth was their biggest tour as they played to 2 million people.
