EXCLUSIVE Oasis fever leaves charts resembling a greatest hits album with four tunes in Apple top 10 (and a VERY apt song title for the most popular) By Mark Duell Published: 05:51 EDT, 30 August 2024 | Updated: 06:22 EDT, 30 August 2024 e-mail 2 View comments The Oasis reunion has prompted a mammoth revival in their music's popularity with the band's songs now making up a quarter of the UK's 100 most-played. Live Forever is currently Apple Music's fifth most-streamed song, 30 years after it was first released three weeks before the debut album Definitely Maybe. Don't Look Back In Anger is seventh, Wonderwall is eighth and Supersonic is ninth; while Champagne Supernova comes in at 12th and Half the World Away in 19th.
Also popular are Slide Away in 24th, Some Might Say in 25th, Cigarettes & Alcohol in 28th, Morning Glory in 31st, Stop Crying Your Heart Out in 33rd and Roll With It in 37th - meaning Oasis have 12 songs in the Top 40. They also have 23 in the Top 100. But Oasis have not been quite as popular as Sabrina Carpenter, whose songs Taste, Please Please Please and Espresso made up the top three as her sixth album Short n' Sweet was released today.
Backbone by Chase & Status and Stormzy was in fourth. Meanwhile HMV revealed sales across the full Oasis catalogue rose by 526 per cent this week compared to last – including (What's the Story) Morning Glory? up 684 per cent, Definitely Maybe up by 443 per cent and Knebworth 1996 up 209 per cent.
