Britpop is officially back as Manchester legends Oasis finally reunite after 15 years – and the country’s gone mad fer it! With the announcement of Noel and Liam Gallagher’s 2025 tour, the group see their back catalogue surge.
While Oasis may not be setting foot in a stadium for a year yet, they’re already underway delivering a hat-trick. For the first time in UK Official Chart history, Oasis place three albums in the Official Albums Chart Top 5 simultaneously, earning them a personal best.
2009 hits compilation Time Flies… (1994-2009) benefits from the biggest boost, vaulting 21 spots with week-on-week uplift of 332% (3).
The group’s second LP, 1995’s (What’s The Story) Morning Glory?, returns to the Top 5 for the first time in four years, lifting 37 with a 313% week-on-week increase (4).
As it turns 30, Oasis’s iconic debut Definitely Maybe jumps 44 places, seeing week-on-week uplift of 297% (5). With the release of its multi-format 30th Anniversary Deluxe Edition, could the album go all the way back to Number 1 next week?
Martin Talbot, Chief Executive Officer, Official Charts, comments:
“What an incredible week for Oasis and the Gallagher brothers. Besides announcing one of the most hotly anticipated reunion tours of all time, they have stormed the Official Singles Chart and Official Albums Chart in extraordinary fashion today.
“Three albums in the Top 5 and three singles in the Top 20 is a mind-blowing achievement. Anyone who thought that their classic repertoire wouldn’t live forever will be having to eat their words today!”
