Concert tour helps push Oasis back to top of the charts
The Guardian
|July 12, 2025
One week after the first show of their long-awaited reunion tour, and before their first home town shows in Manchester this weekend, Oasis are taking over the UK charts.

The band have placed three albums in the Top 5. The singles compilation Time Flies... 1994-2009 is No 1 for the first time since it was released in June 2010. Their second album, 1995's (What's the Story) Morning Glory?, has risen 12 places to No 2, and their 1994 debut album Definitely Maybe has jumped 22 spots to No 4.
In the singles chart, Acquiesce - originally the B-side to their first No 1 single, 1995's Some Might Say, has risen to No 17 after making its standalone chart debut at No 40 last week.
Acquiesce is the second song performed in full on their current tour setlist, after the instrumental introduction Fuckin' in the Bushes and Hello. With the lyrics "Because we need one another/We believe in one another", it has been adopted by fans as an anthem of fraternal love between Liam and Noel Gallagher, despite Noel disagreeing with the interpretation.
The 1996 No 1 single
