Oasis – Definitely Maybe

Remastered version of the band’s classic debut LP.

Definitely Maybe was an immediate commercial and critical success in the United Kingdom, having followed on the heels of the singles “Supersonic”, “Shakermaker”, and the UK top-ten hit “Live Forever”, which was also a success on US Rock Airplay. The album went on to sell over 8.5 million copies worldwide and brought widespread critical acclaim. It went straight to number one in the UK Albums Chart and became the fastest-selling debut album in the UK at the time; it went on to be certified 8× platinum by the BPI for sales of over 2.4 million units. It also was successful in the United States, being certified platinum.

The album helped to spur a revitalisation in British pop music in the 1990s, and was embraced by critics for its optimistic themes and rejection of the negative outlook of the grunge music of the time. The album is regarded as a seminal entry of the Britpop scene, and has appeared in many publications’ lists of the greatest albums of all time. In 2006, the NME conducted a readers’ poll in which Definitely Maybe was voted the greatest album of all time. In 2015, Spin included the album in their list of “The 300 Best Albums of 1985–2014”. Rolling Stone ranked the album at No. 217 on its 2020 list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.
