Oasis enjoyed one of the longest reigns ever as one of the most commercially successful bands in the United Kingdom. In the decades since the band broke up, the group's music has continued to stream and sell incredibly well. For a long time, there was no hope of a reunion, and brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher traded vicious barbs in the press. But countless prayers were answered in 2024, when the rock outfit announced a comeback. New music isn't expected, but Oasis is heading out on tour this summer ahead of what will surely be one of the highest-grossing and most exciting concert treks of the year.
Shortly before beginning the trek, the band re-released one of its biggest hits, and it has now become a smash all over again. Oasis celebrated the thirtieth anniversary of "Some Might Say" by releasing the track on vinyl. Superfans of the group purchased copies of the pearl wax record in large enough numbers to make it a chart-topper on multiple lists in the U.K.
"Some Might Say" appears on four charts in the U.K. this frame. It leads three of them and, interestingly, manages to reach the summit on three tallies in three different ways.
The track debuts atop the Official Vinyl Singles chart. It rockets from No. 53 to No. 1 on the Official Physical Singles ranking. At the same time, it reenters the Official Singles Sales roster in first place.
Oasis collects its third No. 1 on the Official Singles Sales chart with "Some Might Say." The band has previously topped that list, which factors in both digital and physical purchases, alongside "Supersonic" and "Whatever."
The group earns a fourth champion on the Official Vinyl Singles chart, following "Stand by Me" as well as both "Supersonic" and "Whatever." The latter track dominated for three frames — the same length of time that "Stand by Me" managed.
"Some Might Say" sold so well that it also returns to the Official Singles chart, which blends both purchases and streaming activity to show what U.K. music fans are listening to and consuming. On that ranking, where it originally opened at No. 1 back in 1995, it returns at No. 55 30 years later.
