now sold 4.5 million copies worldwide acording to wikipedia
pretty damn good if you ask me   Dig Out Your Soul is the seventh and final studio album by English rock band Oasis. It was released in October 2008. The first single, "The Shock of the Lightning", was released on 29 September 2008. In promotion of the album, the band embarked on a world tour, debuting in Seattle, Washington at the WaMu Theater, and continuing for eighteen months. In 2009, the tour concluded (due to Noel Gallagher quitting the band) with major dates at some of the UK's biggest stadiums, notably the new Wembley Stadium, Sunderland's Stadium of Light and Edinburgh's Murrayfield as well as Ireland's Slane Castle. They also performed three hometown shows at Manchester's Heaton Park. To date, Dig Out Your Soul has sold around 4.5 million copies worldwide. The album was a critical and commercial success continuing the bands' worldwide resurgence in popularity. still like this alboom

yeah this album was pretty bad. every song follows the same not-too-good pattern and the melodies aren't there either. falling down is quite decent, but that's that

Liam tops and tails it tbh. Soldier On has stood up the best for me. I'm Outta Time, the worst.
Solid album but not one I'd actively listen to. If it comes on my iPod then I'll listen and enjoy.

4.5M is a pretty good number for a band people considered dead a long time ago. I haven't listened to it in quite a while but I it has some great songs on it.

i listened to it in full again a few weeks ago and there are some amazing moments and some weak moments, but that happens in most cases. i still feel like it was a huge step in the right direction and i'm disappointed that we won't see where they would've gone as a whole after that. and i should say here that i'm not dying to hear beady eye either  maybe that will change, but right now all i can imagine is some oasis wannabe stuff  |

4.5m is a whole bunch of records nowadays. susan boyle had the biggest selling in the world over the last coupla years and it only sold something like 6.5m copies. the era of 20m or maybe even 10m selling albums is well over.

Yeh definitely. I'd like to see how many the likes of The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Elvis etc. would have sold in the current market, i think it's a pretty safe guarantee that it would have been absolutely nowhere near what they actually sold. Anyway, i really enjoyed Dig Out Your Soul tbh, it has some brilliant songs on it, imo Falling Down is one of the best things Oasis have ever done. |

It's impossible to even think about or to comprehend how much those bands would would sell, how their artistic innovation would stand today or even if it would be as innovative. You'd also have to consider if their peak material was released today, would it be likely that it had been done before? who knows? it's a fascinating train of thought though; as without those bands the landscape of music could be very different today. Yeh i know there's thousands of different things that could effect it, but what i meant specifically was that if piracy and access to illegal copies was as prevalent in the 60s as it is now then music would be wholly different and the sales figures would be massively lower than they were. |

Look at Appetite for Destruction, released in 87, who on earth could have hoped for something new and exciting in that terrible and utterly excessive market saturated with god awful pop music. Appetite for Destruction wasnt anything remotely new but it was REAL and LIVED in music. hair metal was in it's prime man. in that respect guns fitted in. ;D even though soundwise they were a bit more hardcore of course. bon jovi, def leppard, whitesnake, van halen. even kiss and aerosmith had comebacks in 86,87. |

guns n roses never stood for what hair metal was about. They might have wore a bit of make up and had big hair, but so did david bowie. guns was never a hair metal band eds.  they still fitted in with the others ax. nice perm  |
