Noel Gallagher :: The "...High Flying Birds" Era

by **MoonNova** » Mon May 21, 2012 1:54 pm

Just found highest charting position for Noel's singles in the UK. Not sure if the ones below 100 are accurate, so if you know for sure, correct me.

1) The Death Of You And Me - 15
2) AKA... What A Life! - 20
3) Dream On - 52
4) If I Had A Gun... - 95
5) Let The Lord Shine A Light On Me - 107
6) Everybody's On The Run - 128
7) The Good Rebel - 192

Not official singles, just ones that made the chart. Still think 'Lord Shine' should have been an 'A' side instead of 'B'. Heck it charted almost as high as 'Gun'

Just compiled Noel's Chart Run for Belgium. I'm very new to that countries formatting. Looks like there are two charts for this country? A (VL) and an (WA)? I think I found the VL chart run. If anyone has link for the WA chart, I'll go sift through and get it too.

Anyways...

- 15-10-22-46-62-69-80-64-84-90
- RE #1: 92
- RE #2: 93-71-79
- RE #3: 91
- RE #4: 91-93-128

- Total Weeks: 18

Also, it seems that Belgium now offer a 'Top 200' albums so we might see Noel stick around a bit longer on this chart. It looks like this has been only been offered starting last week.

Yup, there's two charts for Belgium, one for the Flanders (Dutch speaking) region and one for the Wallonia (French speaking) region

Awesome... Thanks. I'll get his French side down in the next day or two. Finally found the translate button on the page, so that will help speed up another country I'm missing on the 'chart run' I'm compiling.

Japan Oricon:

61 [OUT] - Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds - 1,250

Updated Total: 70,369

A sudden re-entry in the top 100 (or 300, for that matter) and an updated total, yay! So just 5k behind Beady Eye and with the TV performance coming this Friday they'll be sure to surpass it.

Thanks for the update Nackar. Do you happen to have by chance his full chart run for Japan? Also, I would have thought he would have been closer to 75k as he was at 69k at the beginning of March. But hey... anything closer is better at this point. That's great sales for a Top 75 album. If he could get just another week or two, that would definitely do the trick.

Forgot to post this when I compiled it.

Italian chart run for Noel:

- 2-?-?-?-39-60-49-63-67-57-OUT
- Total Weeks: 10

I can't get the website to work for the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th week to see where he placed. For some reason the fimi.it site won't let me access those weeks. If anyone has so I can complete, just let me know. If the site will get back up and running, I'll get them, but those certain weeks have been down for some time now.

The album is #39 on iTunes! Sales boost!

No full chart run, sorry.

As for the sales, keep in mind that at the point we found out it was 69k, it was already in the lower regions of the top 200/300. Oricon differs from Soundscan in that they do NOT count sales from weeks spent outside of the chart (probably because that's mostly less than 300 copies).

That would explain the lack of change since March.

Thanks for the full chart run. That's great to finally finish off another country. Guess I'll have to put Italy back on the list for countries to watch over the summer if he has already had one re-entry.

Any reason as to why it's risen a bit? A drop in price or something?

Great. Hopefully we can see him breaking back into the top 40 of the album charts.

by **MoonNova** » Thu May 24, 2012 3:32 pm

16 - 15 - 144,100 - Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds - Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds - 636,200 - 29/10/11 - 8

Great to see the album spiking up with the new price drop. If he can do a week or two in the top 40 that will double his sales from last week and put him in the 3.5k - 4k range. I'm not sure how much ITunes sales factor for UK tho? Any idea? 50% or more maybe now or is it still lower?

Noel just performed on Japan's Music Station. Was a good performance and he seemed to be enjoying himself. Hope to see the results of it on this week's chart and even more so next week's!
