Debut album success
Definitely Maybe, released in 1994, was Oasis’ debut album yet continues to be considered one of the best of all time. It had immediate commercial success on the charts and with album sales, and it became the fastest-selling debut album in British music history at the time.
Its legacy is incredible, with songs like ‘Live Forever’ and ‘Supersonic’ remaining favourites across the world, and the album being included in ‘Best of All Time’ lists to this day. It’s impressive that Oasis managed to top such an incredible album, but their entry into stardom definitely started with a bang.
Unmatched live crowd attendance
Oasis are no strangers to a huge crowd, having toured extensively during their heyday in the 90s, up until their disbandment in 2009. One of their most impressive concerts was Knebworth House in 1996, where the band played over two days for a total of 250,000 audience members. Over 2.5 million people applied for tickets, making it still the largest demand for a show in British history.
The band have managed to replicate such success with their upcoming 2025 Oasis Live tour, which saw 14 million people scramble for 1.4 million tickets in the UK and Ireland. If you were left disappointed, don’t worry, there are still official VIP tickets available here at Seat Unique!

Oasis have sold over 100 million albums worldwide, making them one of the best-selling bands of all time, even getting a Guinness World Record for their success between 1995 and 2005.
Their most popular album, (What’s the Story) Morning Glory? included many firsts for the band. First number one single with ‘Some Might Say,’ and selling 22 million copies worldwide made it one of the best-selling albums of all time, and the fifth best-selling album in the UK.
‘Wonderwall’ icon status
Everyone knows ‘Wonderwall,’ which has lived on as Oasis’ most popular song worldwide. It was the first song from the 1990s to reach one billion streams on Spotify, and has been covered countless times by celebrities and YouTube musicians alike.
The legacy of the song lives on as Manchester City F.C.'s team song, and has appeared in many TV shows and movies. The song gained another peak on the charts after the announcement of the Oasis Live 2025 tour, where it charted at 11 on the UK Singles Chart.
The Battle of Britpop
The Battle of Britpop was the chart competition between Oasis and Blur, two of the biggest Britpop bands of the 1990s. Blur’s single ‘Country House’ and Oasis’ song ‘Roll With It’ were battling to be at the top of the charts, showing just how popular the genre was at the time.
The battle was definitely inspired by the rivalry between The Rolling Stones and The Beatles in the 60s, and ended up with one of the highest-selling weeks on the charts in a decade. While Blur may have won the battle of the charts, Oasis has sold more albums overall, so it’s up to you who you think won!
