Oasis's Official biggest albums ranked
As Noel and Liam Gallagher's 2025 reunion tour sells out, we reveal Oasis's Official biggest albums in the UK
This week, Oasis celebrate 30 years since the release of their iconic debut album Definitely Maybe. And, following the announcement of Noel Gallagher and Liam Gallagher's sold-out Oasis Live '25 reunion tour next summer, the record looks set to return to the top of the Official Albums Chart for the first time in three decades.
As a deluxe reissue featuring previously-unreleased sessions and reimagined artwork sends Definitely Maybe soaring midweek, we thought it high time we revealed Oasis's Official biggest albums in the UK to date.

Error!: 'Cigarettes & Alcohol' actually entered (and peaked) in the U.K. Top 100 singles chart at No.7 (w/e 22 October 1994). It was the highest of 35 [THIRTY-FIVE!] new entries that week.
