1. Oasis - Wonderwall: release date 30th October 1995

   The classic 1995 track was the second biggest selling UK single never to make Number 1, after Robson And Jerome's I Believe kept it at bay. In April 2022, it was certified six times platinum, which means it's sold over 3,600,000 copies in the UK alone. On Spotify, the song has had over 2.09 billion streams, while the two iterations of the official video amount to over 1.02 billion YouTube views.

   Another huge tune to be taken from the album (What's The Story) Morning Glory, this Mancunian anthem was awarded five-times platinum status by the BPI in March 2023, meaning it's sold more than 3 million copies. Unlike Wonderwall, however, Don't Look Back In Anger topped the charts. It's had over 929 million Spotify streams and over 455 million YouTube video views.
