Oasis, the iconic British rock band, emerged from Manchester with a sound that defined a generation. The band quickly became one of the biggest cultural phenomenons of the era as \u2018Definitely Maybe\u2019 became the fastest-selling debut album in British history – and has since reached 17 x Platinum in recognition of 5 million+ domestic sales. All seven of their studio albums went straight to #1, as did their 2010 compilation \u2018Time Flies\u2026\u2019. Their catalogue, released on Big Brother Recordings Limited, includes eight #1 singles, from \u2018Some Might Say\u2019 to \u2018The Importance of Being Idle\u2019, as well as another fifteen Top 10 hits. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
That huge following translated to the live arena, most famously playing to 125,000 people each night during two shows at Knebworth. Other big moments included two headline sets at Glastonbury in 1995 and 2004; huge homecoming shows at Manchester City\u2019s Maine Road stadium; and a run of Wembley Stadium gigs which were documented in the live album \u2018Familiar To Millions\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Their accolades have included six BRIT Awards, including the Outstanding Contribution to British Music, two Ivor Novellos, and seventeen NME Awards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
