More info Oasis ' iconic hit Don't Look Back in Anger has been named the band's most played song on UK radio and TV in the 21st century, according to music licensing company, Phonographic Performance Limited (PPL). It comes as Edinburgh gears up to welcome the band to the city next month as a part of their highly anticipated reunion tour, which kicked off in Cardiff last week- marking their first performance together in almost 16 years, reports the Daily Record. The licensing company compiled a list of the top 10 most played songs from the band in the past 25 years. PPL, which licenses the use of recorded music across UK radio, TV and public venues, compiled the list using two decades' worth of airplay data. The result is a definitive chart of Oasis' most broadcasted songs since 2000. Coming in second is the stellar hit Wonderwall, followed by She's Electric in third place. Roll With It and Little By Little round out the top five. Also making the top 10 are The Importance of Being Idle, Whatever, Some Might Say, Live Forever and Champagne Supernova, which closes out the list.

The PPL data also found that Oasis have built up more than seven years of cumulative airplay on UK radio and TV stations since 2000, with their songs being played, on average, 120 times per day across the country. Peter Leathem, chief executive of PPL, praised the band's cultural significance, saying: "Oasis are one of the most iconic, era-defining bands we have ever seen." "They dominated the 1990s and 2000s, and for many, they personified those decades, but their timeless songs continue to resonate with audiences even long after their release," he continued. He added: "With their reunion tour underway, this chart provides the perfect opportunity to look back in admiration at the enduring impact of their music throughout this century, and to celebrate one of the greatest British bands of all time." The band performed together at Cardiff's Principality Stadium last weekend for the first time since their dramatic split in 2009, which was prompted by a backstage brawl at the Rock en Seine festival in France. Noel and Liam Gallagher will continue their tour heading to their own city - Manchester - for five sold-out nights at Heaton Park. However their UK and Ireland tour has received some backlash from fans who were outraged after standard ticket prices jumped from £148 to £355. In response, the UK Government and the Competition and Markets Authority pledged to review the issue. The band's world tour, Oasis Live '25, will see the band perform at Manchester's Heaton Park, London's Wembley Stadium, Edinburgh's Murrayfield Stadium and Dublin's Croke Park throughout July, August and September before heading to Japan, South Korea, South America, Australia and North America.

Dua Lipa surprises fans with Jamiroquai frontman during London show
Pop star Dua Lipa returned to London with her Radical Optimism tour, kicking off the first night at Wembley Stadium with a surprise appearance from Jamiroquai lead singer Jay Kay. Amidst a flurry of dance routines, costume changes and confetti canons, the singer made her way through her latest album, Radical Optimism, on Friday night before bringing out the 90s funk band frontman. Without missing her biggest hits, the British-Albanian songstress performed the likes of New Rules, Be The One and Barbie's Dance The Night to more than 70,000 people. Transforming the stadium into her own dance floor, the pop star kicked off her concert with Training Season before pausing to say she was 'blown away,' adding that it was 'surreal' to be performing at Wembley. Appearing a little emotional, she said: 'This is so surreal and so crazy. 'It means the absolute world to me that you are here tonight. 'It feels really really special to be here tonight. 'It is 10 years since our first ever London show to about 350 people and I just dreamt of a night like this where I get to be in front of 70,000 people.' Later, she left the stage to take photographs with fans and asked if they were having a good night, but most were too excited to form full sentences. After taking photos with the front row fans, Lipa returned to the stage to perform These Walls before introducing the song that 'started everything'. She said: 'I want to take it back to the beginning a little bit. This song really kind of changed my life. 'This is the song that got me signed and it's the song that started everything and I feel like with weather like this, there is only one song that I could do. This is Hotter Than Hell.' The singer again expressed how grateful she was to be performing at Wembley, before introducing someone who really 'inspired' her. She said: 'Someone who has really been a trailblazer for British music and has really paved the way, I feel so lucky to share the stage with the one and only Jamiroquai!' The frontman of the 90s funk band, Kay, emerged onto the stage, joining Lipa to sing the group's hit song Virtual Insanity. Towards the end of the concert, Lipa returned to the hit songs that prompted her rise to fame, including 2016's Be The One, and her 2017 break-up anthem New Rules. Lipa has several Brit Awards to her name, along with three Grammys and was one of the headline acts at Glastonbury Festival last year. She was recently named the most played artist across radio, TV and public places in the UK for a second time by music licensing company Phonographic Performance Limited (PPL) and is the youngest person to feature on this year's Sunday Times 40 Under 40 Rich List, making her one of the wealthiest musicians in the UK.
