If Oasis can sell 53,000 copies in the first week and debut at number 5, I think Brand New can sell 62k
Err'body hates Oasis (except me), and no one even knows that they made more than one song
Err'body loves Brand New (including me), and everyone knows allllll of their songs.

I only know one person (irl) who likes Oasis. Oasis in the UK is fucking huge. In America though, most people only know Wonderwall, and that song wasn't on Dig Out Your Soul

EDIT: But I honestly don't have a clue to what I'm talking about. I just used the only other band I follow this closely as a comparison.

there is no way they will sell over 50K because Hot Mess. new Cobra album, only sold 45K and they have a HUGE single right now. I''m guessing they'll sell about 15-20k.

By the way Devil and God debuted at number 31. Anyone know how much it sold opening week?


i would say what ever that sold, this will sell exactly the same.. they havnt gained many new fans through a hit single or anything just the same cult following that will continued to buy it first day

If Rise Against's popularity doesn't even compare to Oasis, why is it that they released their albums the same week, but Rise Against got the number 3 spot, and Oasis got the number 5 spot. I went to see Oasis last December in Camden at the Susquehanna Bank Center. They were there for one night, half the place was empty. Oasis is my favorite band, they are very popular in Europe, but not so much in the United States.
I know Oasis sold 500,000 tickets in one day for their stadium tour in Europe this summer.
I know a lot of places weren't close to selling out in America.
I know a good amount about Oasis.
They aren't very popular in America.

And I'm not trying to say Brand New is/was/ever will be more successful than Oasis. I'm saying at the current time, I wouldn't be surprised if Brand New was more popular than Oasis in America.

Direct from wikipedia:
The album debuted at number 31 on the U.S. Billboard 200 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billboard_200), selling about 60,000 copies in its first week.

Who knows how reliable that info is, and the reference link doesn't work.
But if it's true, then things are looking good for brand new

I'm sure Dig Out Your Soul has sold more than Appeal to Reason by now considering it's sold more than 2 million copies. I get what you're saying though, Oasis are at the tail end of their career and their popularity isn't as high as it used to be.

It gonna be way less then devil and god
To me, Brand New lost a lot of fans with that record. Like i love it but the songs are structured weirdly, alot slower, less hooks and lots of insteumental in it. Deja had alot more songs that could stand on there own that were more structured and more poppy (i mean compared to devil and god) and I feel alot of people that bought devil and god were expecting more of the same thing. Gonna go like 35 k sold first week

I'm talking about in America. As of May 2009, Dig Out Your Soul sold 116,000 copies in America.
But I'll give you some numbers to make it easier.
In America:
Oasis's Standing on the Shoulder of Giants sold 208,000
Oasis's Heathen Chemistry sold 154,000
Oasis's Don't Believe the Truth sold about 200,000
Oasis's Dig Out Your Soul sold 116,000
Total = 676,000

Now here is Brand New...
Deja Entendu was certified gold in may 2007, gold means 500,000 albums sold.
The Devil and God sold around 60,000 in the first week
That (outdated) total is 560,000.

So the last two Brand New albums sold only about 100,000 less than the last four Oasis albums in America. Standing on the Shoulder of Giants was released in 2000, one year before Your Favorite Weapon. So not counting the first Brand New album, only using the first week sales of the Devil and God, and Oasis being the huge band they are, why is it that they only sold 100,000 more albums, with the scales tipped this far in their favor? Deja Entendu alone outsold the last three Oasis albums in America. My favorite band is Oasis, but I'll be the first to admit that they aren't very popular in America, at least they aren't anymore.

Yeah, it took Deja three years to go gold, so if Oasis are so popular in America, why is it that none of the albums they've released in the past decade have gone gold within three years, six years, or even nine years in the case of Standing on the Shoulder of Giants?

Don't know, don't care. This poll is for first week sales. Oasis could release an album without announcing ten days before it's release and still sell more in the first week because they're more known, more popular. Brand New don't promote their album, don't do press in the US, and don't get nearly as much airplay as Oasis still do, even to this day.

I think you're wrong.
But, it doesn't really matter. What I'm arguing is that Brand New is currently more popular than Oasis in the US, and if I'm correct, it'll show in the album sales. If Daisy outsells Dig Out Your Soul, then it will prove my point even more.

I compared the two because Oasis is the only other band I follow this closely, and based on what I see going about my day, Brand New seems to be more popular. So I used the album sales of Oasis to judge my opinion about how much the album would sell, and I wanted to state my reasoning behind my estimation as opposed to just saying a number and leaving it at that.
No offense was taken.

Judging a band's popularity off album sales is pointless. You clearly have no idea how the average American music listener acquires music. If you believe that a band's only fans are the ones that buy the album (not saying this is what you think), then your research is strongly flawed and everyone else in this poll (myself included) can't take your points seriously.

I'm also judging the popularity from shows. I posted regularly on an Oasis forum for about a year. When Oasis toured America, a lot of people posted about how half the places were empty. Most venues they played that tour held a max capacity of 10,000 people. If Brand New sold out two nights at the Electric Factory (holds 3,000 I think?) within a week, with a lot of people who wanted to go not having tickets (I know a lot of people who missed out on buying tickets), it obviously shows something about them being pretty damn popular.
2 x 3,000 = 6,000.
6,000 > +/-5,000.

I was at the Oasis show in Camden, half the place was empty. Shows selling out tend to show something about a band's popularity. I know not all of a band's fans go to shows, but people who aren't fair-weather fans do. Just like people who aren't fair-weather fans buy a band's albums.

I'm not attacking your ability to either A) oddly know bands' record sales and venue occupancies or B) use Wikipedia. Yeah, record sales are a big part in how a band does. Yeah, the live show aspect is too. I'm not ignorant, I know you're not either. This is what helps makes bands big. What I do know is that sitting in this forum tossing out numbers and research and graphs and stuff and things isn't going to lock down popularity. There are too many unseen forces out there that factor into a band's success to make it able for a person like me or you to act like we could completely wrap our brain around a band's popularity. My first post was a little on the asshole side of things, and I apologize for that. I'm just saying, this is the type of stuff that can't be completely locked down by anyone or anything on this website.

I completely agree. Popularity isn't something set in stone, it's open to interpretation, I'm just saying what I see daily, and since that was causing some "lols@oasis being compared to br&new," type posts, I decided to go to Wikipedia and find some album sales numbers to reinforce my point. The venue capacities on the other hand, I did know off the top of my head, haha.
And no worried. I seem like an asshole in half of my posts in this thread, but I'm not really that bad of a guy/

Devil and God sold 60k in the first week.

Yeah but that was following Deja Entendu. Needless to say, it was the height of their popularity. Their shirts were in Hot Topic, rock magazines were promoting it with advertisements, etc. Daisy has sorta been under the radar and hype for this album has only started to spring up recently this summer as the release date drew nearer. It seems like the only promotion they're really doing for it is a couple sets of shows. Plus, record sales for albums 3-4 years ago were much different than today. It's really tough to sell 50+ in a first week nowadays. I'm not saying they won't do it, but I won't be surprised if they don't.

And it's not like it matters. Jesse Lacey doesn't give half a shit about his record sales. The reason why you don't see hella ads for the album or shirts in stores and whatnot is because the band could sell 5 copies and he'll still be happy. He totally understands that many people will probably download the album rather than spend money.

The numbers show Brand New has been more successful in America than Oasis when it comes to albums sold in the past ten years. Deja Entendu alone has sold more albums than the last three Oasis albums combined in America. I'm not completely sure how many albums The Devil and God sold but I do know that it sold 60k in the first week.

I'll admit 62k is a high guess, I don't think they'll sell that much, but it'd be awesome for them if they did!

I'm talking about in America. As of May 2009, Dig Out Your Soul sold 116,000 copies in America.
But I'll give you some numbers to make it easier.
In America:
Oasis's Standing on the Shoulder of Giants sold 208,000
Oasis's Heathen Chemistry sold 154,000
Oasis's Don't Believe the Truth sold about 200,000
Oasis's Dig Out Your Soul sold 116,000
Total = 676,000

Now here is Brand New...
Deja Entendu was certified gold in may 2007, gold means 500,000 albums sold.
The Devil and God sold around 60,000 in the first week
That (outdated) total is 560,000.

So the last two Brand New albums sold only about 100,000 less than the last four Oasis albums in America. Standing on the Shoulder of Giants was released in 2000, one year before Your Favorite Weapon. So not counting the first Brand New album, only using the first week sales of the Devil and God, and Oasis being the huge band they are, why is it that they only sold 100,000 more albums, with the scales tipped this far in their favor? Deja Entendu alone outsold the last three Oasis albums in America. My favorite band is Oasis, but I'll be the first to admit that they aren't very popular in America, at least they aren't anymore.

You didn't even include their biggest album, (What's the Story) Morning Glory?. Come on, you can't be serious.

Their biggest album released in the middle of the nineties doesn't mean shit about their current popularity or success in America. The numbers show that Brand New has been more successful than Oasis when it came to album sales this entire decade.

Deja sold more than their last three albums combined. (In America. In Europe Oasis sells like crazy.)

As it was discussed in the other thread, success and popularity are two completely different things, you can't base popularity off album sales alone, but you can base success, and it seems as if Brand New has been more successful.

The numbers show Brand New has been more successful in America than Oasis when it comes to albums sold in the past ten years. Deja Entendu alone has sold more albums than the last three Oasis albums combined in America. I'm not completely sure how many albums The Devil and God sold but I do know that it sold 60k in the first week.

I'll admit 62k is a high guess, I don't think they'll sell that much, but it'd be awesome for them if they did!
well the "scene crowd" is large and vast....but for the most part i'm not sure if the numbers exaclty indicate how popular/well-known each of these bands are. I mean let's be realistic. You poll 1,000 random people from say Philadelphia and you ask them....name a brand new songs vs. name an oasis song. I think oasis would win AND! you would win the have you heard of them poll.

Still, popularity and success don't really have to go hand in hand. Oasis was most popular in the 90's, and while the songs from the 90's still remain popular today, it doesn't mean the band itself remains popular and successful. (What's the Story?) Morning Glory sold 308k albums the first week I believe, but Dig Out Your Soul sold 1/6th of that. Their popularity has gone down, most people think they broke up. Sony doesn't do anything to promote them in America because Oasis fucked themselves over by being idiots. (Liam drooling while accepting an award at an award ceremony) So they are less popular and less successful.

So what I'm trying to say is, just because a band has a few popular songs doesn't mean they will sell a lot of albums.

Yeah, it took Deja three years to go gold, so if Oasis are so popular in America, why is it that none of the albums they've released in the past decade have gone gold within three years, six years, or even nine years in the case of Standing on the Shoulder of Giants?

Yes Oasis isn't as popular as they once were, but I hate to break it to you Brand New has never had mainstream succuess and outside of this website and music scene most people have probably never heard anything Brand New has ever done. Im a fan of both bands but I guarantee you ifg you go out on the street and randomly grab the first 100 people you see and ask them who the bigger band is Oasis or Brand New, Oasis will win in a LANDSLIDE!

so do you think brand new has more money? i know that questions seems pretty basic, but i'm just wondering your opinion.

Oasis has a lot more money, but that does not mean it came from the US. They sold 500,000 tickets in one day for their arena tour across Europe, I think they Gallagher brothers are worth 47 million euro combined. In America they aren't nearly as popular as they used to be, but everywhere else, they are still pretty damn popular.
