Overview
- The Official Albums Chart announced on Wednesday that (What’s the Story) Morning Glory? is the UK’s biggest studio album and sits at Number Three on the all‑time list behind Queen’s Greatest Hits and ABBA’s Gold.
- The ranking is based on combined UK sales and streaming data and the Official Albums Chart credited the album with 6.2 million UK chart units to date.
- Streaming activity that followed Oasis’ Live ’25 reunion tour and England’s World Cup 2026 singalongs helped drive the album’s totals, with outlets reporting a roughly 50% spike in UK Spotify streams for “Wonderwall.”
- Commercial momentum continues with a newly teased documentary called Don’t Look Back In Anger and unconfirmed reports that Oasis are planning a large 2027 UK and European tour that could include extended Manchester dates and a Knebworth return.
- The accolade builds on Morning Glory’s original commercial impact—345,000 first‑week sales and 10 weeks at UK No.1 in 1995—and its long‑running cultural reach, with roughly 22 million copies sold worldwide.
