Not sure were you get that, while Oasis IS a good group, I can think of others that are much better.
And my contribution to the last Beatles discussion when Blazed jumped in with his insane fanboy adoration of Oasis.

I think that about sums it up...  |

Hell, they wouldn't even if you tripled that number per year over the remaining 8 years.
Even if those Beatles stats ARE current there is no way, just by the proven numbers alone of Oasis for them to catch up.

No matter what Oasis does or how much longer that continue to make music, they will never reach the heights The Beatles have acheived, who has sold far more records AFTER their demise than OASIS has to date.
