Oasis Sends Several Albums Back To The Charts As The Band's Reunion Tour Continues
The rock group is in the middle of its Oasis Live '25 Tour reunion, which will surely be one of the most lucrative treks of the year, as there was extreme pent-up demand to see the rockers perform. Several Oasis albums return to the charts in the U.K. as the band recently finished several nights in Edinburgh, Scotland, and will soon head to Ireland and then the rest of the world.
Two Oasis Albums Return
A pair of Oasis collections become bestsellers in the U.K. again this frame. Be Here Now finds its way back to the Official Album Downloads chart at No. 67, while Knebworth 1996 reenters the Official Album Sales ranking at No. 93.
Be Here Now and Knebworth 1996
Between those two, Be Here Now is the greater success, and not only because it appears in a loftier position. That set lives on a trio of tallies, as it also sits at a similar spot on the Official Album Sales and Official Physical Albums charts. Knebworth 1996, meanwhile, rises more than 10 spaces on the ranking of the bestselling titles on any physical format, jumping from No. 98 to No. 85.
Half a Dozen Charting Titles – and Two of the Top Three
Oasis sees six projects appear on the charts in the U.K., and all of them live on multiple tallies at once. In fact, Be Here Now and Knebworth 1996 are among the group's least successful, as titles like (What's the Story) Morning Glory?, Time Flies… 1994–2009, and Definitely Maybe occupy space on more rosters.
Amazingly, the band fills two of the three highest rungs on the Official Albums chart, the 100-space roster that looks at total consumption. As Reneé Rapp's Bite Me launches in first place, becoming the singer-songwriter's first champion, Time Flies… 1994–2009 and (What's the Story) Morning Glory? hold at Nos. 2 and 3, respectively.
12 Hit Songs in the U.K.
Oasis is somehow even more successful when it comes to songs. A dozen tunes appear on U.K. rankings, with many becoming bestsellers and a number of the group's most famous compositions living on the Official Streaming chart as British fans consume Oasis classics any way they can.

Taylor Swift's 50 Biggest Billboard Hot 100 Hits
At 12:12 a.m. ET on Aug. 12, Taylor Swift revealed her forthcoming 12th studio album, The Life of a Showgirl. The set will surely be another Billboard chart behemoth for the superstar, kicking off her next era in a chart career that began 19 years ago. More from Billboard Oasis Announce Locations For Live '25 Fan Stores Ahead of North American Dates Twenty One Pilots Hosting 'Breach' Album Listening Parties at Record Stores Across the U.S. and Globe Zoë Kravitz and Mom Lisa Bonet 'Destroyed' Taylor Swift's Bathroom Looking For Pet Snake During L.A. Wildfires: 'I Was Panicking' On the Billboard Hot 100 chart dated Sept. 23, 2006, Swift made her arrival as her debut single, 'Tim McGraw,' entered at No. 86. (It was already scaling the Hot Country Songs chart at the time.) Since then, Swift has become one of the most accomplished artists in the Hot 100's entire history. As of the Hot 100 dated Aug. 16, 2025, Swift boasts 264 career charted titles – the most among women. Her 59 top 10s and 165 top 40 hits (of which 'Tim McGraw' became her first, rising to No. 40) are also the most among women, while her 12 No. 1s place her in a tie for the sixth-most leaders among all acts. Swift, having deftly traversed country, pop, adult alternative and more genres, has consistently added to her Hot 100 legacy. In 2012, she scored her first No. 1 with 'We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together,' while in 2021, she defied the belief that pop music caters only to shorter attention spans, as, thanks to an update of a fan favorite, she notched the longest No. 1 single in the survey's archives: 'All Too Well (Taylor's Version),' at 10 minutes and 13 seconds in length. A year later, Swift achieved the unprecedented feat of monopolizing the Hot 100's top 10 in a single frame, as, on the chart dated Nov. 5, 2022, she infused the region with 10 tracks from her 2022 album Midnights, led by the No. 1 launch of the set's lead single, 'Anti-Hero.' On the May 4, 2024, Hot 100 she rewrote her own record, charting the entire top 14 titles with songs from her LP The Tortured Poets Department. Meanwhile, beyond her chart triumphs, Swift was honored as the first Woman of the Decade at Billboard's 2019 Women In Music celebration, not just for her commercial success, but for her commitment to protecting creative rights, music education, literacy programs, cancer research, disaster relief and the Time's Up initiative. Plus, when she was unable to reclaim the masters of her first six albums, she forged a new path by re-recording her catalog, and earning even more chart honors in the process, including her 2023 Hot 100 No. 1 'Is It Over Now? (Taylor's Version) [From the Vault].' (Swift revealed on May 30, 2025, that she had regained ownership of her masters from Shamrock Capital.) Of all of Swift's songs, which are her biggest Hot 100 hits? Browse the list below, ranking her top titles from No. 50 to No. 1. Taylor Swift's 50 Biggest Billboard Hot 100 hits ranking is based on weekly performance on the Hot 100 (through Aug. 16, 2025). Songs are ranked based on an inverse point system, with weeks at No. 1 earning the greatest value and weeks at lower spots earning the least. Due to changes in chart methodology over the years, eras are weighted differently to account for chart turnover rates during various periods. 50.

The collab drove to No. 22 on the Hot 100. 35. 'Fifteen' This confessional 2009 song — which shouts out the singer's original #squad member and best friend Abigail Anderson — evidently resonated with teens everywhere, peaking at No. 23. 34. 'All Too Well (Taylor's Version)' When Swift rerecorded her 2012 LP Red in 2021 as Red (Taylor's Version), she expanded 'All Too Well' to its original 10-minute length. The new version topped the Hot 100 and became the longest song to hit No. 1 on that chart. 33. '22' The Swift/Max Martin collab '22' was the sixth Red single to hit the Hot 100's top 20, peaking at No. 20. 32. '…Ready for It?' The song gave Swift a fab honor: when it debuted at its No. 4 Hot 100 peak in September 2017, it became Swift's 72nd Hot 100 entry … one more than The Beatles' career total. 31. 'Cardigan''Cardigan,' the lead single from Swift's pandemic album Folklore, signaled a return to her singer-songwriter roots as she branched out into the indie and folk music realms. Co-written and produced by The National's Aaron Dessner, 'Cardigan' topped the Hot 100. 30. 'Lover' The title track from Swift's seventh studio album, released in 2019, found strong public reception after a performance on that year's MTV Video Music Awards.

Taylor Swift Power-poppers Boys Like Girls brought in Swift for the assist on this 2009 single, which peaked at No. 18 on the Hot 100. 26.

'I Can Do It With a Broken Heart' Swift's ode to faking it 'til you make it, a confessional and intimate reflection despite its bouncy beat, peaked at No. 3 on the Hot 100 upon its debut. Promoted as the second proper single from 2024's The Tortured Poets Department, it spent more than six months on the chart. 24. 'Back to December' Rumored to be about Swift's short-lived relationship with Taylor Lautner, the ballad entered and crested at No. 6 on the Hot 100 in 2010. 23. 'Lavender Haze' The loved-up opening Midnights song peaked at No. 2 on the Hot 100. 22. 'Delicate' The fourth Reputation single, a gentle, enveloping midtempo ballad, stood in stark contrast with its three immediate predecessors. The switch-up had welcome results, cruising to No. 12 on the Hot 100 while slowly but steadily rising to top of the Pop Airplay chart. 21. 'Me!' feat. Brendon Urie A 180-degree turn from the dark Reputation, 'Me!' is a bouncy, celebratory track that finds Swift at her most saccharine sweet alongside Panic! at The Disco frontman Brendon Urie. The pair's collab, the lead single from Swift's 2019 album Lover, surged to No. 2 on the Hot 100. 20. 'You Need To Calm Down'As Swift advocated for Democratic political causes in late 2018, the singer infused an overt political tone into her songs for the first time with this 2019 Lover cut. Its lyrics supported LGBTQ causes, feminism and self-empowerment, and secured a No. 2 Hot 100 hit for the singer's resume. The video, with many LGBTQ stars making cameos, also ended a multi-year feud with Katy Perry, as the two reunite and embrace in the clip. 19. 'Is It Over Now? (Taylor's Version) [From the Vault]' 'Is It Over Now? (Taylor's Version) [From the Vault]' from 1989 (Taylor's Version) hit No. 1 on the Hot 100 in November 2023. 18.

Ice Spice Boosted by a remix and music video featuring Ice Spice, this Midnights single peaked at No. 2 in June 2023. 15.

The Fifty Shades Darker song rose to No. 2 on the Hot 100 in March 2017. 9. 'Bad Blood' feat. Kendrick Lamar Fueled by a #squad-flaunting video (and a highly anticipated appearance by Kendrick Lamar), Swift's diss track hit No. 1 on the Hot 100 for one week following the clip's debut at the 2015 Billboard Music Awards. 8. 'We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together'Swift's first Hot 100 No. 1, the critically-acclaimed single confirmed Swift's crossover appeal, staying at the top for three weeks following its 2012 release. 7. 'I Knew You Were Trouble.' The irresistible anthem from Red debuted at No. 3 on the Hot 100 in October 2012, eventually peaking at No. 2. 6. 'Love Story'The melodic masterpiece, and fairytale-themed lead single off Fearless, peaked at No. 4 on the Hot 100 in 2009. 5. 'Blank Space' Swift became the first woman to replace herself at No. 1 on the Hot 100, as the second single off 1989 dethroned 'Shake It Off.' 'Blank Space' spent seven weeks on top in 2014-15. 4. 'You Belong With Me' The monster crossover hit dominated airwaves in 2009, peaking at No. 2 on the Hot 100. It also became the first country song to top the all-genre Radio Songs chart (after 'Love Story' had reached No. 2) since its start in 1990. 3. 'Anti-Hero' The lead single off Midnights debuted atop the Hot 100, and remained there for six weeks until Mariah Carey's seasonal classic, 'All I Want for Christmas Is You,' bumped it from the summit on the chart dated Dec. 17, 2022. It later returned to the top and clocked an additional two weeks in the reigning spot. 2. 'Cruel Summer' 'Cruel Summer' got the single treatment four years after its original release on Swift's 2019 album Lover — but that delay didn't stop it from becoming one of the star's biggest songs to date. In October 2023, the song finally topped the Hot 100. 1. 'Shake It Off'Swift's devil-may-care anthem found her unabashedly looking for pop dominance, and she found it: The single debuted at No. 1 on the Hot 100 and posted four weeks at the top. Plus, its nearly six-month stay in the top 10 alone plays a major role in its status as Swift's biggest charting single in a career with a multitude of milestones.

Denzel Washington and A$AP Rocky had a rap battle. One is claiming victory
NEW YORK (AP) — A$AP Rocky had no idea Denzel Washington was going to throw Nas at him. Midway through Spike Lee's 'Highest 2 Lowest,' a New York riff on Akira Kurosawa's 'High to Low,' wealthy music executive David King (Washington) has cornered aspiring rapper Yung Felon (Rocky) after he tried to kidnap King's son. They meet in a music studio. A rap battle ensues. While the scene was scripted, much of what Washington freestyled — mixing in lines from Nas, Tupac, DMX and others — startled his professional rapper co-star. 'I'm like: How does this man know who Moneybagg Yo is?' Rocky says, sitting alongside Washington. 'And I'm 70,' Washington says with a grin. 'Highest 2 Lowest,' which A24 releases in theaters Friday, two weeks before it lands on Apple TV+, is a heist thriller that hits hardest when Washington and Rocky are going at it. Washington, o ne of the mightiest of living actors, is, of course, an imposing presence. Even though Rocky might usually have the upper hand in the studio, he's just beginning to prove himself as an actor. 'Denzel is such a powerful force. Not a derogatory term, but he's a beast,' Lee said. 'Rocky is from Harlem, uptown. So I knew that he's not going to punk out. He's going to stand there, feet planted to the ground, as a heavyweight fight, blow to blow to blow. If you got somebody who don't got it, Denzel is going to slaughter them. SLAUGHTER.' But in 'Highest 2 Lowest,' Rocky proves that he can go toe-to-toe with a titan like Washington. In the annals of movie face-offs between the veteran and the up-and-comer, the scene is a riveting showdown. Not that Rocky is claiming victory. 'I had to go with the flow with him,' Rocky says. 'You've got to realize this guy's a pro. He's a wordsmith for real. It's not a joke. So when he went, I caught his drift. But I lost a rap battle to this man. And I'm a professional f------ rapper.' With that Washington roars and slams the table. 'But I'm using other people's material,' he adds. 'And I've been practicing.' 'It doesn't matter,' replies Rocky. 'I lost, man. It's unfortunate that that's my profession in real life.' Washington's rapping skills But as he showed in a recent interview, Washington's envy for his co-star's day job is more than for show. Washington's hip-hop affection runs deep. Asked how he approached the big scene with Rocky, Washington takes out his phone and begins playing Nas' 'N.Y. State of Mind' and raps along: 'I keep some E&J, sittin' bent up in the stairway.' 'All right, would you ever in a million years expect the Denzel Washington to be able to recite classic quotes and lines from hip-hop?' exclaims Rocky. But Washington was just getting started. He grandly spat a verse of DMX ('Lucky that you breathing, but you dead from the waist down'), a few bars of Outkast ('Yes, we done come along way like them slim-ass cigarettes') and cackled joyfully at a line from Samara Cyn and Smino's 'Brand New Teeth': 'Spent my rent money on these brand-new teeth.' 'For me on the outside looking in, it was like this guy was Method acting,' Rocky says. 'He was just being himself. He should have been a rapper.' Washington shakes his head. 'No, I play one on TV.' Yet Washington has as much facility with Wizkid as he does Shakespeare or August Wilson. Pushed to explain his mentality going into the scene, Washington still demurs. 'I can't, man. I don't have one,' he says. 'I just flow. I can't tell you what I'm going to do, because I don't know. I never know how it's going to go. I don't plan. But I have been practicing for a long time, and nobody knew! I never had the platform.' 'I'm still on top' In 'Highest 2 Lowest,' Lee — in his fifth film with Washington — surveys a changing entertainment industry. Washington's once supreme music executive is losing his grip on what sells — and what sells matters less than how many followers someone has. The movie weaves in some of Lee's other obsessions — the New York Yankees; New York, itself — but it casts the moral questions of Kurosawa's classic against a media landscape where authenticity can be hard to find. Asked if he identified with his character's quandary, Washington pauses to consider the question. 'If I had an ego, I'd say no, because I'm still on top,' says Washington. 'And I'm getting better.' Rocky, though, sees some of himself in Yung Felon. It's a moniker Rocky, himself, suggested replace the scripted name, MC Microphone Checka. Rocky, whose real name is Rakim Mayers, shot 'Highest 2 Lowest' in the run-up to his recent trial over a 2021 incident in which Rocky was accused of firing a gun at Terell Ephron, a former friend and collaborator known as A$AP Relli. Rocky was found not guilty in February on two felony counts of assault with a semiautomatic firearm. The verdict gave Rocky a new lease on life just as his film career might be taking off. He also co-stars in the upcoming 'If I Had Legs I'd Kick You,' a hit at Sundance. Meanwhile, he's preparing his long-awaited fourth album, 'Don't Be Dumb.' Who are 'the new rappers'? For Rocky, the music industry backdrop of 'Highest 2 Lowest' rings true. Music sales, he notes, are way down. Artificial intelligence is taking over. 'They've got to figure out how to regulate it,' Rocky says. 'People in music are already doing it. Not to put nobody on the spot, there are people with No. 1 records and it's not even them. It's not even their voice on the track.' 'This is a smart kid here,' says Washington. But Washington is resistant. 'People trying to sound like me don't sound like me, to me,' he says, doubting Artificial intelligence's potential. He peppers Rocky with questions. Rocky, 36, already sounds like an old-timer. 'The kids, they don't want to be rappers anymore,' Rocky says. 'They don't want to be ballers. They want to be streamers. It's basically another word for 'YouTuber.' They all want to be YouTubers, I promise you.' Washington: 'How will they make money doing that?' Rocky: 'They make all the money now.' Washington: 'From what? What do they do? Without the talent, without the thing to go see…' Rocky: 'What's the substance? That's what I'm saying is the big question. The performers are obsolete. Nobody's watching. Nobody cares. They'd rather watch an 18-year-old with millions of viewers open up a bag of chips and tell you how good it is. These guys are the new rappers.' But for now, at least in 'Highest 2 Lowest,' Rocky and Washington are still the performers. They're the rappers, even the two-time Oscar winner. Rocky, who grew up watching Washington in 'Malcolm X,' can hardly believe it. 'He gives you that confidence he walks around with,' Rocky says. 'A lot of times, people tell me that I embody this self-confidence — I see it all in him. Just him embracing me, them embracing me, it was so chill. I waited my whole life for this.' 'Me too!' bellows Washington, with a laugh. 'And that's the truth! I've been a closet rapper for 40 years. Finally I get the chance.'
