Oasis eye return to No.1
The Britpop legends opened the Oasis Live '25 Tour with a sold-out show in Cardiff last Friday night (05.07.25), and interest in their back catalogue couldn't be bigger. The singles compilation – first released in 2010 – is now on track to return to Number 1 for the first time since its debut week.
What's more, the band's seminal second album, (What's the Story) Morning Glory? – originally released in 1995 – is climbing fast, set to leap 11 places to Number 3. Their 1994 debut Definitely Maybe isn't far behind either, is looking at a 22-place surge to land at Number 4.
But Oasis face stiff competition for the top spot. Pop sensation Sabrina Carpenter is just under 1,000 chart units behind Time Flies…, with her breakout album Short n' Sweet holding strong at Number 2 in the midweek update. Her recent performances at London's Hyde Park – part of the BST concert series – have helped propel the record back up the charts.
With final positions confirmed on Friday, a chart showdown is looming between the Britpop icons and Gen Z's rising pop queen.
Meanwhile, a new study has claimed Oasis earned a whopping £7 million from Spotify streams of Wonderwall alone.
Casino comparison and analysis site La Planque Du Joueur conducted research and found that Wonderwall has earned £7,057,223 in streaming revenue, as of July 8, 2025.
They used the average payout of $0.004 per stream to come to this conclusion, and Wonderwall has been streamed 2.3 billion times.
Don't Look Back in Anger is the second highest earner with over 1.1 billion streams, generating £3,247,265 in revenue.
Champagne Supernova and Stop Crying Your Heart Out are said to have earned them £1,449,431 and £1,378,028, respectively.
The Top 10 songs - also including Married With Children, Live Forever, Stand By Me, She's Electric, Supersonic, and Slide Away - gave them a total of £16.8 million.
Jean Morlec from La Planque Du Joueur commented: "These figures show that Oasis' music remains incredibly popular on streaming platforms, with Wonderwall standing out as one of the most streamed songs of its era. The band's top songs continue to generate substantial revenue more than 30 years after they were first released."
"With the current reunion tour driving renewed interest in their music, we can expect these streaming numbers to climb even higher. Their back catalogue has become a valuable asset that continues to generate millions in revenue year after year."

Secret weapon to keep Oasis brothers on track revealed
A new book details the rise, fall and resurrection of the British rock band. Promoters have enlisted a secret weapon to keep Oasis brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher from knuckling on during their reunion tour. The ultra-fiery, musically gifted pair have embarked on the much-anticipated world tour, but speculation has been rife since dates were confirmed about how long it would be before the two fell out. As insurance against any issues that may derail the string of gigs the Gallaghers' 81-year-old mum, Peggy, has stepped into keep a watchful eye over her sons and douse any summering tensions that may arise. The Daily Mail reports that Peggy is reportedly keeping Liam,, 52, and Noel, 58, in check as part of a 'military style operation' when they are not on stage. After a violent end to their last tour culminated in a back stage fight in Paris in 2009, Noel quit the band, before the pair engaged in a public war of words for over a decade. Insiders have stated that Liam is enjoying having his mum on tour and she helps 'keep his head down' to stay in the 'best mindset'. One of the biggest moments on the tour is just around the corner as Oasis will take to the stage at Wembley next week, with Peggy's eldest son Paul, 59, performing a DJ set as a warm-up for the main event.. Peggy will be in the wings, and according to The Sun 'Liam is incredibly close to Peggy and has loved spending time with her during the tour. [She] has always stayed out of their disagreements and just wants the best for her sons.' There is still a lingering animosity between the band's frontmen, which has brought significant challenges for tour organisers. Separate dressing rooms are required, and the brothers use separate transport to and from events to avoid another flare-up and a potential 'PR and financial nightmare'. A source told The Mirror: 'They will not be in each other's pockets and effectively be separate entities that come together for necessary promotional work and the gigs. Other than that, they will be apart for much of this reunion. 'Rehearsals will be the first time that they will be together for a significant amount of time working again. The atmosphere is sure to be electric, but also a little edgy.' In 2019, Peggy pleaded with her youngest son, Liam, to bury the hatchet with his brother the following year, and has continually urged her sons to put aside their differences. Earlier this month Liam and Noel's estranged father made the headlines when he was captured on video saying his sons 'don't know f***ing music'. Thomas Augustin Gallagher, who they blame for an abusive upbringing and alleged violence toward their mother, has no contact with his sons.

What do I wear to a gig now I'm no longer a teenager?
This story is part of the July 19 edition of Good Weekend. See all 16 stories. What do I wear to a gig now I'm not a teenager any more? There is, of course, no age limit on going to see your favourite band, whether it's Oasis, Cub Sport or Taylor Swift. The great divide begins inside the venue when you realise that you've timed out of the crop tops, sequinned miniskirts and pink, glitter cowboy hats dominating the mosh pit. Find safety in stylishly remixing all the going-out classics: fun T-shirts, cool denim, statement accessories and shoes that won't give you blisters from dancing and walking to the car park after the concert. You might be a mum, but leave the mom jeans at home on this occasion and demonstrate your familiarity with trends by stepping into a pair of figure-flattering flares or boot-cut jeans (if you really want to push the envelope, iron a seam down the front). Flares tap into the easy-going chic of Kate Hudson as Penny Lane in the 2000 movie Almost Famous, but without the groupie connotations. If everyone at the gig is too young to get the Almost Famous reference, they'll definitely remember Kendrick Lamar's Super Bowl half-time performance back in February in those trend-sparking Celine bootleg jeans. If you can't find any vintage band tees from your younger days and would prefer to leave your One Direction relic in the bottom drawer, have some fun with a statement tee that expresses your values as well as a sense of humour. Then just swap your office blazer for a bomber jacket that can discreetly house a pair of earplugs as well as delivering a style encore at brunch on the weekend.
