Oasismania continues to be felt in the UK! This week the Gallagher brothers' band brings “Definitely Maybe” back to the top of the official album charts.
The album, which debuted at No. 1 upon its release in September 1994, returns to the top for the first time in three decades, bolstered by the release of a 30th Anniversary Deluxe Edition.
The reissued version of the first by Liam Gallagher, Noel Gallagher, Paul 'Bonehead' Arthurs, Paul 'Guigsy' McGuigan and Tony McCaroll includes the Monnow Valley sessions originally discarded by the group, plus outtakes from their Sawmills recordings and an alternative demo version of Sad Song.
It is the first time in 14 years that the group has reached the top of the official album chart together.
Oasis see two more albums in the Top 5 this week: 2009 greatest hits compilation Time Flies… (1994-2009) (3) and 1995 release (What's The Story) Morning Glory? (4).
Newcomers this week include Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds with “Wild God” at number five, their seventh UK Top 10 album and 18th studio album. Joining Cave at number six are British rockers Wunderhorse with their first album with Midas.
SINGLES
In the Singles Chart it resists at number one Taste by Sabrina Carpenter ahead of Please Please Please (2) and Espresso (3).
VINYLS
Definitely Maybe also topped the Official Vinyl Albums Chart, with over 50% of its weekly total made up of vinyl sales, and the Official Record Shop Chart, the most popular album in UK independent record shops for the last seven days.
