Oasis’s second album, *(What’s the Story) Morning Glory?*, has reportedly overtaken The Beatles’ *Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band* to become the UK’s best-selling studio album. The milestone reflects the enduring popularity of the Britpop band’s defining record, nearly three decades after its release.

Released in 1995, the album contains major hits including ‘Wonderwall’, ‘Don’t Look Back in Anger’ and ‘Champagne Supernova’. It has sold more than 4.94 million copies in the UK, narrowly surpassing *Sgt. Pepper*, which has sold about 5.1 million copies when later reissues and formats are considered differently; the article presents the claim as based on updated chart data.
