Oasis Break Beatles’ Chart Record, Return To Hot 100, Inspire Travis Scott’s New Sound
Oasis's 1995 album (What's The Story) Morning Glory? has been named the biggest studio album in UK chart history, overtaking the Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, according to a new list marking 70 years of the Official Charts Company. The milestone reflects the band's ongoing reunion buzz, with their comeback also helping "Wonderwall" return to the US Hot 100 for the first time since 1996 after it became an unofficial anthem for England's men's football team at the 2026 World Cup.
On the all-time albums list, two compilations sit above Oasis: Queen's Greatest Hits at number one with 7.8 million chart units and ABBA's Gold at number two with 7.1 million, while Morning Glory? ranks third overall and top among studio albums with 6.2 million units, also surpassing Adele's 21. Separately, Travis Scott told Variety that Oasis are among the current influences on his new sound, alongside Van Halen, Don Toliver, Raphael Saadiq and Daft Punk, as he looks to make his live shows feel more theatrical and reach audiences further from the stage.
