Longtime Oasis fans have something to celebrate as the British rock legends have stormed the U.K. album chart with “The Masterplan” on its 25th-anniversary reissue. In the quest for the top spot, Oasis must unseat Taylor Swift’s “1989 (Taylor’s Version),” currently sliding to No. 2 on the Official Chart Update.
Originally released in 1998, “The Masterplan,” a compilation of b-sides from Oasis’s iconic early albums, including “Definitely Maybe” (1994), “(What’s The Story) Morning Glory?” (1995), and “Be Here Now” (1997), has ascended to the No. 1 spot. The album, anchored by the timeless classic “Acquiesce,” initially reached No. 2 on the charts. If it maintains its lead, it will mark Oasis’s ninth chart-topper, and their first in 13 years since the 2010 hits collection “Time Flies… (1994-2009).”

Johnny Marr, renowned as The Smiths’ guitarist, could secure his fifth U.K. top 10 album with “Spirit Power: The Best of Johnny Marr,” making its debut at No. 6 on the midweek tally.

The final rankings will be unveiled when the Official U.K. Albums and Singles Charts are published on Friday, November 10, offering music enthusiasts an exciting glimpse into the British music scene.
