Oasis are a rock band from Manchester, fronted by brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher, who were among the biggest acts in British music during the 1990s. "Wonderwall," released in 1995, became one of their most famous songs and a staple of that era, though the band split acrimoniously in 2009 before reforming for live shows more recently.
Older songs sometimes return to popularity charts long after their original release if they are used widely in connection with a big cultural moment, such as being played or shared during major sporting events. The football World Cup is one such event, drawing huge global audiences and often generating spikes in interest around particular songs associated with the tournament's mood or coverage.
A song reappearing on a chart decades after it first charted is unusual and reflects how streaming, social media and shared cultural moments can revive older music for new audiences, alongside long-time fans.
