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."

Richard Ashcroft says 'all new fans welcome' after Oasis gig-goer Shazams The Verve's Bitter Sweet Symphony
Richard Ashcroft is welcoming "all new fans" after a gig-goer at Oasis' Cardiff gig was caught Shazaming The Verve's iconic hit Bitter Sweet Symphony. The former frontman of the Britpop group is among the opening acts on the Oasis Live '25 Tour, and he has reacted to the viral moment someone was seen using the Shazam app to identify the 1997 classic in the crowd. After night two of the Supersonic group's first tour in 16 years at Cardiff's Principality Stadium on July 5, Ashcroft penned on Instagram: "Day 2 thanks to everyone who came down and gave such beautiful support for my set. If you don't know it Shazam it, all new fans welcome! Love to LG for Cast No Shadow, what a tune! We move on Manchester. Are you ready? Music is Power RA." The 53-year-old musician said when his support slot was confirmed last year: "As a fan from day one I was buzzing for many reasons when the news of Oasis' return was announced. "I can say with no exaggeration that the songwriting talent of Noel and Liam's pure spirit as a lead singer helped to inspire me to create some of my best work. "It was the perfection of Live Forever that forced me to try and write my own. They dared to be great, made the dreams we had real and I will always remember those days with joy. "Now it's time to create more memories and I'm ready to bring it. See you next summer. Music is power." Meanwhile, Ashcroft is set to release a brand new solo album, Lovin' You, on October 3. It will be his first LP of all new material since 2018's Natural Rebel. The Lovin' You album opens with its recently released first single Lover, which interpolates Joan Armatrading's 1976 song Love And Affection. The single sets the standard for a record that finds Ashcroft at the height of his powers. The album spans the many facets of his sound, from his classic string-soaked acoustic balladry and anthemic indie-rock – through to flashes of Americana, soul and glitch electro beats. Its themes are intimate and personal, dominated by love, romance and affecting messages of support for those struggling with life's challenges.

Aussie acts find global listeners but AI worries linger
Australian music is finding its way into more corners of the world than ever before, data from music streaming titan Spotify shows. The company's latest Global Impact Report, launched in Sydney on Wednesday, highlights a 37 per cent rise in overseas streams of Aussie music since March 2021. While the US and UK remain the top destinations for overseas listening, local acts are finding new joy in different markets such as the Philippines and Brazil. Spotify says these emerging markets are characterised by young populations eager for new content, making them the perfect fit for ambitious Australian acts. "What matters to an artist is developing their international audience, because it's important for touring and it allows them to have a broader fan base," Spotify's global head of editorial Sulinna Ong said. Many artists have found it difficult to sustain themselves financially on streaming royalties alone since physical record sales have declined and touring has become a crucial part of their income. Ms Ong insisted Spotify still relied on human taste to curate its playlists, despite the rise of artificial intelligence to determine how people find new music. "We see AI as a tool alongside human creativity, but not a replacement," she said. "AI can't go to the club ... and understand cultural context." The report paints a rosy picture of how Aussie music travels beyond our shores, but research closer to home indicates many local artists struggle to break through domestically because of how AI emphasises certain acts. Music Australia research published in June found engagement with Australian music was declining across the general population and international artists were being prioritised by audiences over local talent. Ms Ong pushed back against the idea of quotas to promote domestic acts, saying it would limit the international appeal of an artist on their platform. "(Artists should) take advantage of the fact that the world is connected. You have an internet connection, you've got social media," she said. "The barrier to entry into a new market is as low as it has ever been."

Oasis eye return to No.1
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.
