Oasis sends two albums back to the charts and occupies two of the top three spots on the main albums list as the band’s Oasis Live ’25 Tour continues.

Oasis is one of a handful of homegrown musical acts in the United Kingdom that never have a hard time charting. The group hasn’t released new music in many years, and for a while it looked like the musicians wanted nothing to do with one another, and yet several albums live on multiple tallies each week. Sometimes more than one single can land on a list or two as well.
The rock group is in the middle of its Oasis Live ’25 Tour reunion, which will surely be one of the most lucrative treks of the year, as there was extreme pent-up demand to see the rockers perform. Several Oasis albums return to the charts in the U.K. as the band recently finished several nights in Edinburgh, Scotland, and will soon head to Ireland and then the rest of the world.
Two Oasis Albums Return
A pair of Oasis collections become bestsellers in the U.K. again this frame. Be Here Now finds its way back to the Official Album Downloads chart at No. 67, while Knebworth 1996 reenters the Official Album Sales ranking at No. 93.
Be Here Now and Knebworth 1996
Between those two, Be Here Now is the greater success, and not only because it appears in a loftier position. That set lives on a trio of tallies, as it also sits at a similar spot on the Official Album Sales and Official Physical Albums charts. Knebworth 1996, meanwhile, rises more than 10 spaces on the ranking of the bestselling titles on any physical format, jumping from No. 98 to No. 85.
Half a Dozen Charting Titles – and Two of the Top Three
Oasis sees six projects appear on the charts in the U.K., and all of them live on multiple tallies at once. In fact, Be Here Now and Knebworth 1996 are among the group’s least successful, as titles like (What’s the Story) Morning Glory?, Time Flies… 1994–2009, and Definitely Maybe occupy space on more rosters.
Amazingly, the band fills two of the three highest rungs on the Official Albums chart, the 100-space roster that looks at total consumption. As Reneé Rapp’s Bite Me launches in first place, becoming the singer-songwriter’s first champion, Time Flies… 1994–2009 and (What’s the Story) Morning Glory? hold at Nos. 2 and 3, respectively.
12 Hit Songs in the U.K.
Oasis is somehow even more successful when it comes to songs. A dozen tunes appear on U.K. rankings, with many becoming bestsellers and a number of the group’s most famous compositions living on the Official Streaming chart as British fans consume Oasis classics any way they can.
