Oasis released their second studio album (What's the Story) Morning Glory? in October 1995. It was a huge commercial success, topping the charts in the UK and in multiple other countries, including Australia, Canada and Ireland.[6][8][9][10] The album produced six singles, including the band's first UK number-one single "Some Might Say" and the international hits "Wonderwall" and "Don't Look Back in Anger".[6](What's the Story) Morning Glory? has sold over twenty-two million copies worldwide, which makes it one of the best-selling albums of all-time.[11] The album was certified seventeen times platinum by the BPI and is the fifth best-selling album (third best-selling studio album) of all time in the UK,[12] with sales of over 5.1 million copies in the country.[12] The band's third studio album Be Here Now was released to great anticipation in August 1997. While the album topped the charts in several countries and became the fastest-selling album in British history, it failed to match the commercial success of Morning Glory, ultimately selling around ten million copies worldwide.[13] Two of the album's singles, "D'You Know What I Mean?" and "All Around the World", peaked at number one in the UK.[6]
Oasis' fourth studio album Standing on the Shoulder of Giants was released in February 2000, reaching number one in the UK and Ireland.[6][10] Though not as commercially successful as its predecessors, Standing on the Shoulder of Giants managed to receive a double platinum certification from the BPI and featured three UK top five singles: "Go Let It Out", "Who Feels Love?" and "Sunday Morning Call".[6]Heathen Chemistry followed in July 2002, becoming Oasis' fifth consecutive number-one album in the UK and being certified four times platinum by the BPI.[6]Don't Believe the Truth, released in May 2005, topped the UK Albums Chart and produced the number-one singles "Lyla" and "The Importance of Being Idle".[6] In November 2006, the band released a compilation album, Stop the Clocks, which peaked at number two in the UK and was preceded by the release of an EP of the same name.[6] Oasis released their seventh studio album Dig Out Your Soul in October 2008; it continued the band's streak of number-one studio albums in the UK and was certified double platinum by the BPI by the end of the year.[6] Following the release of Dig Out Your Soul and Noel Gallagher's departure from the band in August 2009, Oasis announced their break-up.[14] In June 2010, a retrospective compilation album of the band's singles entitled Time Flies... 1994–2009 was released, peaking at number one in the UK.[6]
