Another thing: does anybody know if DBTT has already topped 1 million sales in the UK? If so, Oasis would be one of the very few artists to reach 7 million-selling albums, and I don't know any to have more than 7. Currently certified triple platinum for 900,000 shipped (source: BPI)- note this doesn't mean sold.

Yeah, I know, and chartmasters estimated DBTT at 980000 in 2017, so I was hoping for some additional (chart)sales.

60/70 million albums worldwide plus depending on single sales aswell which stand at around 13 million alone in uk I think I’d say they sold a fair few records in total

Oasis sold almost 5 millions Morning Glory in USA, not bad for a band that "never made it" there.

Oasis sold almost 5 millions Morning Glory in USA, not bad for a band that "never made it" there. It makes me wonder - what does classify as having 'made it'? I know that officially, 'Wonderwall' is their only true hit single in the US. But I read that had chart rules not deemed them ineligible, 'Champagne Supernova' and 'Don't Go Away' would have both made the Top 40. That along with two additional albums having gone Platinum, and three reaching the Top Five. Strange, especially when compared with other big UK acts they often say "didn't make it"; The Smiths (three gold albums, no Top 40 singles) Take That (no hit albums, one Top 10 single) Paul Weller's entire career (no hit albums, one Top 40 single) Blur (one gold album, no Top 40 singles but Song 2 is admittedly well-known) Slade (one Top 40 album, two Top 40 singles) James (one gold album, no Top 40 singles) Madness (no hit albums, two Top 40 singles including a Top Ten hit in Our House) Robbie Williams (one gold album, no Top 40 singles)

Take That comes close in the UK, but none are big global sellers. Even Blur has never been in their league after August 1995. Don't get me wrong, I like most of these artists, but Oasis is way different for claiming to be a big global selling rockband, and to live up to that claim, they should have sold a bit (or a lot) more in the States.

Yes i think thats why they say it about Oasis. It's that while they did crack the US, they should have been bigger given their status elsewhere. And they also get tagged with the label because they do have a standout, signature song there. Ive often heard Americans say that for people who aren't into music, the sole song the public widely know the name Oasis for is Wonderwall. A bit like Blur with Song 2 over there. So it kind of paints them into that 'one hit wonder' box, which is often linked with someone not making it. Of those artists I would say only Robbie Williams has bigger UK album sales than Oasis (20 mil vs 16 mil). Not sure about singles.
