Oasis: Their 10 Fastest-Selling Singles

This week marks 15 years since the release of one of the most anticipated and fastest-selling British singles of the ‘90s – Oasis’ D’You Know What I Mean.

The lead single from Oasis’ third album Be Here Now to this day remains the band’s fastest-selling single of their career. Shifting in excess of an astonishing 370,000 copies in its opening week, D’You Know What I Mean outperformed even the likes of giants Wonderwall and Don’t Look Back In Anger in each of their respective first weeks of release, even though the two (What's The Story) Morning Glory tracks remain Oasis biggest-selling singles.

D'You Know What I Mean, a grandiose, feedback-driven, endlessly layered track that featured a nonsensical chorus, clocked in at an impressive seven and a half minutes. Of course it went straight to Number 1. Spending a total of 18 weeks in the Official Singles Chart, it held the top spot for only a week in July 1997, intersecting the six-week non-consecutive run at the top for Puff Daddy’s breakthrough single I’ll Be Missing You.

D’You Know What I Mean was Oasis’ first single for 16 months, followed the ubiquitous Don’t Look Back in Anger and became the sixth in an impressive run of 18 consecutive Top 5 singles. And let’s not forget the video: Coloured smoke! Post-apocalyptic theme! Army helicopters! Liam’s enormous parka! Noel with a Flying V! Liam not flicking the V (for once). Aww, bless the 90s.

The enormous success of the band’s previous blockbusting album (What’s The Story) Morning Glory, which spent 10 weeks at Number 1 and a total of 147 weeks on the Official Album Chart, saw Oasis being catapulted into superstardom, putting pressure on Noel Gallagher to follow suit with something extraordinary. The excitement and media attention that preceded the release of Oasis' new single, resulted in a huge first week sale, and has to date sold 730,000 copies in the UK, making it the third biggest-selling single of their career on home turf.

When Be Here Now was released in August 1997, reviews were bordering on ecstatic and the album sold over 660,000 copies in its first week. Although Be Here Now eventually received its fair share of criticism - included being somewhat written off by its composer - it remains a chart-busting signature piece of a time when Britpop was slowly descending from its zenith. Well, Liam still likes it!

Be Here Now yielded two further singles: Stand By Me, which charted at Number 2 in October 1997, and All Around The World which reached Number 1 in January 1998. Perhaps surprisingly, both tracks can be found in the Top 10 fastest-selling Oasis singles.

01: D'YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN - 370,000

Beady Eye To Play Wonderwall At The Closing Ceremony Of The Olympics

When Liam Gallagher gave up booze and started running five miles every morning, he wasn’t on the sniff for an Olympic call-up.

But it’s just as well he’s in top shape because the Beady Eye frontman has been given the nod to appear at the closing ceremony of London 2012.

The former Oasis star will perform a new arrangement of iconic Noel track Wonderwall with bandmates Gem Archer, Andy Bell and Chris Sharrock.

David Arnold, one of the top producers in the world, has been in AIR Studio in north London this week working on a new, epic orchestral arrangement. And Noel can look forward to another tidy royalty check off the back of it.

A source said: “A couple of months back the Olympic production team got in touch with Noel about playing his part in the closing ceremony.

“Along with his manager, they thought long and hard about it. It was a big temptation, with 650million people expected to tune in on TV.

“But he knocked it back in the end — he has been on a great tour and he doesn’t really need to do it. The organisers asked Liam if he was game and he said yes.

“The Who are on the same bill, so he was well up for it.

“The team wanted something quintessentially British — a real flag-waving, singalong moment to show the rest of the world what this country has produced. Oasis were exactly that and, whether it’s Noel or his brother Liam, they just wanted a bit of rock ’n’ roll in there.”

Other acts in the closing ceremony include Kaiser Chiefs — and Russell Brand doing a turn with Dawn French and Jennifer Saunders.

All performers have had to sign serious non-disclosure contracts to keep the big night a surprise.

Oscar-winning film director Danny Boyle has been overseeing the process, so it’s bound to be special.

On stage in front of 650million will also give Liam the chance to advertise his Pretty Green clobber — which will be getting Games organisers in a lather.

There’s also a good chance at least one four-letter word will slip out.

If swearing was an Olympic event, Liam would be the Usain Bolt of the field.

Review: Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds At Edinburgh Castle

Lit up in all its glory, complete with flaming torches, Edinburgh Castle makes for a spectacular backdrop for a concert.

Something Noel Gallagher is quick to note. “Nice gaff this innit?” he says, admiring the surroundings, before adding cheekily: “Mine’s twice the size.”

Unshackled from the restraints of what Oasis had become, the 45-year-old has blossomed into a much more engaging performer. Gone is the surly, taciturn nature that once typified his stage persona, replaced by a more relaxed, carefree attitude.

Playing his debut solo album almost in its entirety, the singer demonstrates that, freed from the lumbering rock behemoth that was his former group, he has still got an ear for a catchy, melodic rock tune, with The Death Of You And Me and AKA... What A Life particular stand-outs.

“I assume we’re all Oasis fans?” he then asks rhetorically, launching into a rip-roaring version of Whatever. With around a third of the set comprising Oasis tunes, including Little By Little and an acoustic Supersonic, he was always sure to have everyone in the sold-out arena onside.

There was, of course, a final dilemma. Out of all the other massive hits, which should be the closer? Simple.The one that he got to sing. “I think you might know the words to the chorus,” he says, playing the opening riff to Don’t Look Back In Anger. Yes, Noel. You know fine well we do.

Noel Gallagher Says He's More Like Bill Wyman Than Mick Jagger

Noel Gallagher’s daughter Anais could well be influencing what her old man listens to.

The former Oasis star has been referencing Maroon 5’s Moves Like Jagger.

Noel’s admitted that he can’t dance like Rolling Stones’ frontman Mick but has moves more like Jagger’s former bandmate Bill Wyman.

Talking about his live shows before last night’s gig at Edinburgh Castle, the High Flying Birds singer said: “As the song goes, I haven’t got moves like Jagger – I’ve more got moves like Wyman.

“But people at gigs either want to dance or sing, and I can make people do that.

“And they’re not watching me anyway, because if you look, they’re staring at the heavens singing their hearts out, and that’s magical.”

Asked if he will carry on in music as long as the Rolling Stones, Noel added: “Evidently the Rolling Stones are not a gang any more.

“It’s easier for a solo artist, so I don’t see a time when I’ll retire. I never see a time when I’ll pack in, especially if I’m still writing.

“What else am I going to do? There’s only so much TV you can watch.”
