Oasis Narrowly Misses Out On A New No. 1 Album

On July 4, Oasis will kick off its first proper tour as a band in more than 15 years. The group, which has attracted as much media attention for the feud between members and brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher as for its chart-topping hits, is set to begin its Oasis Live ‘25 Tour in just a few days.

The trek starts in Cardiff and includes dozens of shows throughout the United Kingdom, Europe, the United States, Australia, and several countries in South America before wrapping in November.

Just before launching what will surely be a top-grossing venture, Oasis recently released the remastered version of Time Flies… 1994–2009. The compilation almost hits No. 1 for the very first time on one tally in the group’s home country, but misses out by a single spot.

Oasis Barely Misses Out on a New No. 1 Album

Time Flies… returns to the Official Vinyl Albums chart this week landing in the runner-up position. The title finds its way back to its all-time high point, which it originally reached just a few years ago.

Time Flies… Stalls in Second Place

Time Flies… also lands at No. 2 on the Official Albums chart, which ranks the most consumed releases in the nation. Unlike on the vinyl tally, however, the Oasis compilation has previously led the main ranking, but only once.

Oasis Soars Back Into the Top 10

The same collection can also be found inside the top 10 on three additional rankings in the U.K. Time Flies… reappears at No. 3 on both the Official Albums Sales and Official Physical Albums charts, while lifting one space to No. 6 on the Official Albums Streaming chart.

Oasis Misses the Highest Spaces on the Downloads List

Time Flies… fails to crack the uppermost region only on the Official Album Downloads chart, where it rebounds at No. 28. The surge in interest among Oasis fans in the U.K. seems tied to physical formats, as the remastered version sold particularly well on CD and vinyl – both available on the band’s website, while downloads appear to have generated far less excitement.

(What’s the Story) Morning Glory? and Definitely Maybe Are Also Rising

As Time Flies… returns to the top 10 on nearly every chart it has previously appeared on, two other Oasis albums are also climbing. (What’s the Story) Morning Glory? and Definitely Maybe appear on multiple lists, and in almost every instance, they are soaring.
