Oasis are eyeing a return to the top of the Official Albums Chart, as their greatest hits collection Time Flies… 1994–2009 surges up the rankings following the launch of their long-awaited reunion tour.
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.”
