anyone know how many albums oasis has sifted in week 1 in UK and US?
 
UK midweeks for DBTT last week : 130K sold by end of Tuesday - Industry experts predicted over 300K by end of week in UK.

# 4 debut on Japan international chart with 95K sold. This is a huge amount for a western rock band : HTDAAB sold 84K in first week - I never realised Oasis were so big in Japan.

Don't know about US - probably sell about 100K.
 
Bomb sold 1938M in first week at Mediatraffic if you include Japan, where it was released a week ealier than ROW. Realistically, though, it sold over 2M 'cos Mediatraffic, of course, only covers 90-95% of total sales.

i predict -1st week sales for Oasis 700 thousand maximum.
and coldplays to be 1.3 million

I think that's about right, although I still think Coldplay will sell 1.5M...& Oasis? - I'll say 800K.

Oasis : DBTT sold 237,865 copies in UK last week. So, that's not that much more than HTDAAB (200K).

Morning Glory & Def. Maybe increased by 40%

Heathen Chemistry sold 3,280 copies - that's now 39 sales away from being their 5th 1M seller.
 
237,000 not as many as i thought what about US sales?

How many do u think Coldpaly will hit in UK? i go for 325,000
 
I think 325K is about right for Coldplay....my original estimate was 320K - see "Can 1st week sales of new Coldplay album (X&Y) match those of HTDAAB?" thread - but it could do anything up to 400K.

Well, it's not looking that great so far for Oasis in the U.S. With 34% sales in, the album is only up to 13,000 copies. Yikes.

At this rate, they'll be lucky to hit 50K...

You knew the sales wouldn't be as strong here, but I didn't think they'd be this low.

Around 64K for Oasis in the U.S., which should put it at #12.

For week two, think Pearl Jam. Like that band, all of Oasis's hardcore followers will buy the album in the first week and then it will quickly exit the charts.....
