message: About Oasis' first week UK numbers for BHN. Their album went on sale on a thursday (Aug 21 1997) and the 696,000 figure is for sales from that Thursday to Sunday, with Sunday being when the charts are updated for each week. 
  Its first 'Weeks' sales, were actually for Thursday to Saturday - 3 Days. The UK Chart is calculated from 12.01am
 on Sunday to Midnight the following Saturday. So, when 'Be Here Now' was released - on a Thursday - its 663,000 1st 
'Week' Sales were actually for Thursday, Friday, & Saturday. There were no Sunday Sales in there.
In its actual first week of release, the official numbers are in excess of 810,000 from Thursday to Thursday.
Just to clarify some of the facts hidden behind the numbers.

It would be assumed that he is talking about bass, because int he sentence before, he talks about the acidic guitar sound, and bad production. - Jakobi
 As of March 2009, The OCC say that this Album sold 663,000 in its first 3 Days - not 696,000. As The OCC actually 
calculate the UK Charts, I think we can say that their figure is the accurate one.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.22.127.229 (talk) 11:59, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

message: I do not follow this topic: I'm just flagging that I reversed a recent cut-and-paste move.  I have no idea whether the earlier move (from Be Here Now to Be Here Now (album)) was discussed: I couldn't find such a discussion.  If the article does need to be moved back, I think it will need admin assistance because the #redirect created by the move has now been edited into a disambiguation page.  --RobertG ♬ talk 16:34, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Recent move 

message: In recent years, the record has gained its original praise that it had once possessed, being placed within the "Top 50 Greatest British Albums Of The Past 50 Years" in 2008. The band sees it now as a "fine record" and comments that the album "might withstand the test of time if rock 'n' roll music takes its toll on harder sounds and a younger audience".
This whole paragraph sounds pretty opinionated - there's no citations for such bold statements at all, except for one single list - and being ranked in one list doesn't automatically mean it's gained some kind of universal approval. And besides, I expect it only got into that list simply because it was Oasis (heck, the top two spots were taken by the album's predecessors). If you look at these comments from 2007, you can see plenty of people still dislike it. I think the whole paragraph should be either altered or simply deleted.Kohran (talk) 21:25, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: You get the odd exception here and there, people saying its not too bad, but looking at broad coverage, and weighing some more crediable than others, I think the page is a fairly accurate summary. The album's sharpest critics come from within the band, the band's circle and Creation. Ceoil (talk) 22:57, 6 August 2010 (UTC)

message: I don’t have access to the source cited, but the description that the band were “widely considered to be, according to Noel Gallagher…” is a little bit odd – should it not be something like “widely considered to be, as Noel Gallagher put it…” to avoid giving the impression that he was the main or only judge of this? Billwilson5060 (talk) 20:25, 30 September 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't have access to the source either, but I know that Noel was certainly saying that a lot at the time. I am also suspicious of the 'widely considered to be' bit as well though. Even if it is true, were they "widely considered" by (whoever) in the UK or internationally? FM [ talk to me | show contributions ]  14:04, 5 January 2013 (UTC)

message: Can anyone confirm that I can and willingly be able to update the track listing on this article? Also, I seemed to have discovered a rarity of some sort called "The Be Here Now Sessions" on a website, and I was wondering if I could post it up on the article. If anyone can confirm this for me, thanks a bunch and you're not also doing me the favor, you're doing the fans of Oasis a favor as well. Again, thanks a bunch if anyone can confirm this for me.

message: Has anyone noticed that the only song on the album not to be played live by the band was "I Hope I Think I Know" and i guess the reprise.  comment if anyone has noticed it yet. just a reference or note.  all the songs are great though.

message: It was a bit disappointing that no disambiguation page was present, much less a link to the book I immediately thought of, Be Here Now (book).  Some generational bias against us older folk, it would seem (80% of this observation is tongue-in-cheek).  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cyclone77 (talk • contribs) 15:56, 16 April 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Now in English, you want us to violate the disambiguation guideline to include a book, while you searched "Be Here Now (album)"?. Am I missing something? Because common sense indicates an album is not a book. Tbhotch.™ Grammatically incorrect? Correct it! See terms and conditions. 23:15, 16 April 2013 (UTC)

message: I thought I would clear up the sales situation currently going on. After a thorough search, I cannot find ANYTHING that gives total sales numbers for Be Here Now above eight million. A 2016 source from Billboard states: "To date it has sold more than 8 million copies worldwide, according to a rep for the band." Another site, Chartmasters.org states: "after the massive splash the album failed to have continuity, ending its road at 7.4 million units to date, almost the same number as units shipped upon release." I have updated the article to say as of 2016 instead of 2008 and added the Billboard source, but unless there is actual proof that the album has sold more than eight million (which I'm sure by now it has), then we can update the numbers, but until then, it will stay at eight million. – zmbro (talk) 22:56, 5 August 2021 (UTC)

message: The listening example of :File:Oasis D'You Know What I Mean.ogg fails to describe what is heard on the sample. Instead, it talks about the length of the song, which cannot be heard by listening to the sample; issues such as this can be conveyed by prose alone. Thus the sample is in violation of Wikipedia:Non-free content#Meeting the contextual significance criterion. I will remove the sample in a few days if no context can be attached to help the listener understand what's going on. Binksternet (talk) 14:24, 12 September 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: , I agree. The sample page is incredibly outdated as well. The sample itself really only shows that the song's sound is like their older work, albeit louder. – zmbro (talk) 22:36, 12 September 2021 (UTC)
