DEFINITELY MAYBE
by OASIS
Definitely Maybe is the debut studio album by Manchester Britpop icons Oasis. Released on 29 August 29 1994 by Alan McGee's Creation Records, Definitely Maybe would become Oasis's critical and commercial breakthrough.
The album features some of Oasis's most iconic tracks, including Oasis's debut single Supersonic which reached Number 31 on the Official Singles Chart, Rock 'n' Roll Star, Live Forever and Cigarettes & Alcohol.
Most of the songs on the album were written by Noel Gallagher, the band's lead guitarist and primary songwriter, whose songwriting played a significant role in defining Oasis's sound and style. Definitely Maybe was recorded at Sawmills Studio in Cornwall, England, and at Monnow Valley Studio in Wales. Owen Morris and Mark Coyle co-produced the album with the band.
The album drew inspiration from various musical influences, including 1960s rock and roll, British Invasion bands like The Beatles and The Rolling Stones, and 1970s punk rock.
Definitely Maybe is often regarded as one of the greatest debut albums in rock history and is considered a classic of the Britpop genre.
In 2014, to commemorate the album's 20th anniversary, a deluxe remastered edition of Definitely Maybe was released. It included bonus tracks, demos, and live recordings from the band's early performances. Ten years later in June 2024, Liam Gallagher set out to tour the UK playing Definitely Maybe in full to fans to celebrate the album's 30th anniversary. Two months later in August Oasis announced a reunion tour for summer 2025, with a record-breaking scrum for reunion tickets and a 30th anniversary re-release of their debut album, Oasis crashed back to Number 1 on the Official Albums Chart for the first time in 14 years with Definitely Maybe. By December Definitely Maybe's 30th anniversary repack was confirmed by Official Charts as the biggest vinyl reissue of the year and the second best-selling vinyl album of 2024 overall.
The success of Definitely Maybe catapulted Oasis to fame and paved the way for their subsequent albums, including (What's the Story) Morning Glory? which became one of the Top 5 best-selling albums of all time in the UK and spawned the band's first Number 1 single Some Might Say, according to the Official Charts Company.
