Definitely, No Maybe: Oasis’s Debut Reclaims U.K. No. 1 After 30 Years

Oasis’s iconic debut album Definitely Maybe has stormed back to the top of the U.K. Official Albums Chart, 30 years after its original release in 1994.

This is the first time in 14 years that Liam and Noel Gallagher, alongside the rest of Oasis, have topped the Official Albums Chart together.

The album, which debuted at No. 1 three decades ago, returned to the summit thanks to the release of its 30th Anniversary Deluxe Edition. The new edition features previously unreleased material, including the Monnow Valley sessions, outtakes from the Sawmills recordings, and an alternate demo of “Sad Song.”

The album saw a staggering 408% week-on-week uplift in sales, with over 50% of its total weekly sales coming from vinyl, cementing its place at No. 1 on both the Official Albums Chart and the Official Vinyl Albums Chart​.

Alongside Definitely Maybe, two other Oasis albums entered the Top 5: Time Flies…1994-2009, their 2009 greatest hits compilation, climbed to No. 3, and their seminal 1995 album (What’s The Story) Morning Glory? reached No. 4.

The band’s remarkable chart performance aligns with the announcement of their much-anticipated Oasis Live ‘25 reunion tour, set for 2025, which will see them perform across major U.K. cities like Cardiff, Manchester, London, and Edinburgh.

Due to massive public demand, extra dates at Wembley Stadium have already been added​.

Elsewhere on the chart, the previous week’s chart-topper, Sabrina Carpenter’s Short n’ Sweet, has moved down to No. 2 after an impressive run, and continues to perform well despite Oasis’s return to the top​.

Meanwhile, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds celebrate their seventh U.K. Top 10 album as their latest release, Wild God, enters the chart at No. 5. English rockers Wunderhorse also secured their first Top 10 album with Midas, landing at No. 6​

This week’s chart also sees Vegas-formed Palaye Royale claiming the No. 38 spot with their latest release, Death or Glory​.
