Oasis may have angered fans with price of their concert tickets, but the appetite for their music is undiminished.
The band’s debut album, Definitely Maybe, has returned to the top of the UK album charts, a week after their reunion shows were announced.
The record, which debuted at number one when it was first released in 1994, is back in the same position, thanks to a 30th anniversary edition that includes several outtakes and unreleased demos.
Two more Oasis albums re-entered the Top 10, with their greatest hits compilation Time Flies at number three; and their 1995 classic (What’s The Story) Morning Glory? at number four.
The Official Charts Company said sales of Definitely Maybe had risen by 408% week-on-week.
Fifty per cent of its sales were on vinyl – and the album also tops the official vinyl chart this week.
It is the first time the band have topped the countdown since 2010, when Time Flies was first released.
Renewed interest in the band also propelled their 1995 single Live Forever to a new heights. Originally peaking at number 10 on its release, the song made it to number eight on this week’s chart.
