In 1997, Oasis sold 813,000 copies of ‘Be Here Now’ in a single week. Mick Jagger had one big problem with it.

In 1997, Mick Jagger criticised Oasis’s album *Be Here Now*, saying it was impossible to dance to. His comments reflected a broader disagreement about what makes a compelling rock performance, as Oasis had become Britain’s biggest band while drawing criticism from established musicians.

*Be Here Now* received strong reviews, topped charts in 15 countries and sold 813,000 copies in its first week in Britain, making it the country’s fastest-selling album at the time. Jagger later argued Oasis lacked movement on stage and recalled Liam Gallagher insulting a New York audience; Gallagher, now in his 50s, has said he does not want to perform with Jagger’s high-energy style.
