LakotaDakota Posted September 4 Share Posted September 4 can't really blame them at 15-20mil or so per show, no idea how they would even begin to do what they are suggesting with a ballot process, just use a different email address and there you go, an unsucessful first time round account.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they will email people who initially entered the ballot and weren't successful. They'll be able to cross reference email addresses maybe? Do we know how many were selected in the initial ballot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyh29 Posted September 4 Share Posted September 4 I’ve got a screen shot of my failed purchase where the tickets were in the basket but Ticketmaster kept reporting connection errors … I think that entitles me to an entry 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scary that two more nights at Wembley won't even put a dent in the demand for tickets. Short of releasing new music I'm not sure what more they can do, Liam's voice can't withstand months of touring.

Mark Albrighton Posted September 5 VT Supporter Share Posted September 5 Out of bored curiosity I had a little look to see the most streamed songs on Spotify and how they stack up with what I think is traditionally the more loved songs. Wonderwall 2 billion streams (approx.) Don’t Look Back in Anger 915m Champagne Supernova 413m Stop Crying Your Heart Out 367m Live Forever 277m Stand By Me 259m Supersonic 177m She’s Electric 145m Half the World Away 136m Don’t Go Away 110m Whatever 104m That’s all the 100m + songs. Some Might Say is next on 84m. Not sure if I’m surprised by this or not. The top three, no, not really. Stop Crying Your Heart Out having twice as many streams as Supersonic isn’t what I’d expect. Cigarettes & Alcohol is just about in the top 20. She’s Electric has more than The Importance of Being Idle, Acquiesce and D’You Know What I mean? combined. I suppose the thought I’m having is bigger than Oasis and it’s really more about how what might be considered an artists’ more prominent works changes retrospectively. I’m sure there are far more pronounced examples of other songs for other bands which increased/decreased in popularity with its fan base over the years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s interesting that 4 of the 11 were not singles. Either b-sides or album tracks. That’s something quite unique about Oasis catalogue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s something quite unique about Oasis catalogue. Yeah expanding it to the top 20, there are 8 non singles that feature (Morning Glory, Slide Away, Rock n Roll Star, Married With Children). I was going to say (reluctantly, for obvious reasons) that maybe The Beatles are similar in the non singles taking up a large amount of the top whatever…but looking at the list it dawns on me that I don’t know for certain all the singles or whether they were released as singles in the US.

They could have got years more mileage out of early album tracks and B sides. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The A-side, a couple of b-sides and then often a live track. All bangers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure there are far more pronounced examples of other songs for other bands which increased/decreased in popularity with its fan base over the years. that's what sets oasis apart from say pulp or blur etc the increase in numbers for those songs is because they cross over to different fan bases, wonderwall in particular hence why its number 1 crossed over to smooth and heart and radio stations that your parents listen to, it'll feature on spotify playlists that over bands cant get near the reach of them around WTSMG, wonderwall and DLBIA in particular, was incredible from memory in 2002 when we got knocked out of the world cup both BBC and ITV used stop crying your heart out as the backing track to it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisp65 Posted September 5 Share Posted September 5 Without checking I’d be fairly confident saying ‘the Beatles’ list wouldn’t be all singles. Quite unique is an ambitious bar to set for any band. Unless we are using unique as Dem wanted literally used, as in, literally unique meaning fairly unusual unless you look in to it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife certainly isn’t an Oasis fan but I’d bet she would name circa 10 non-singles alone. Champagne Supernova, Morning Glory, Rock n Roll Star, Half the World Away, She’s Electric, Don’t go away, Slide Away plus others. I think it would be true for a large proportion of people. They would know those songs and that they were by Oasis. 5 minutes ago, chrisp65 said: Without checking I’d be fairly confident saying ‘the Beatles’ list wouldn’t be all singles. Yeah, the Beatles could possibly be the right/only answer. They have a shed load of very famous songs and same as you, without checking I guess many of them were not singles. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once you’ve spotted the potential, you start thinking of ABBA and Elton John, or Stevie Wonder and that whole tier of artists that don’t instantly come to mind but then you remember they are massive in sales terms. Billy Joel or Jimi Hendrix or Alabama 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
