I was responding to a post about selling 10 copies.
Read this and eat my ass. Give it a good whiff while you're at it ******
As of 2023, the band have sold 100 million records worldwide,[1] and been cited by Guinness World Records as the most successful act in the United Kingdom between the years 1995 and 2005.[2][3][4] Oasis had 22 consecutive UK top 10 hits between 1994 and 2008

You're taking that from this Wikipedia article that does indeed state they sold over 100 million records:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oasis_discography#:~:text=As of 2023%2C the band,the years 1995 and 2005
.
But it's wrong. It's some drunk Oasis fanboy making up numbers. Click the source next to the claim and it doesn't say anywhere in the article that Oasis sold 100 million records. It says:
To date, the band have sold more than 70 million albums worldwide.

A pathetic 70 million.
Oasis is **** confirmed.

Less actually. I was being generous with the 70 million figure because I feel bad for them, but it's really much lower:
According to Sony Music Japan, OASIS sold over 40,000,000 albums worldwide, including 6,000,000 in the United States and 16,460,000 in the United Kingdom.

The more you look into it the lower the number is. I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't even sell 100,000 records.
