The album went straight to #1 in the UK, selling 347,000 copies in its first week, and spawned four hit singles in the UK, two of which were #1s. It sold over 19 million copies worldwide,[1] including over 4.3 million copies in the UK, 14x platinum,[2] and is currently the third biggest-selling album in UK chart history.[3] Morning Glory has gone 4x platinum in the United States[4] The singles "Wonderwall" and "Champagne Supernova" went gold in the United States.

The album, which was recorded in less than two weeks, contains arguably[attribution needed] the band's two most famous songs, "Wonderwall" and "Don't Look Back in Anger", along with "Champagne Supernova" and their first UK #1 single, "Some Might Say".

In 1997, Morning Glory was named the fifth greatest album of all time in the "Music of the Millennium" poll, conducted by HMV, Channel 4, The Guardian and Classic FM. In 1998, Q magazine readers placed it at number 8, and in 2000 it achieved the same position in Q's "100 Greatest British Albums Ever" list. In 1999, the editors of Q declared it the "album of the decade". The readers of Q placed it seventh on the 2006 top 100 greatest albums of all time list.In 2003, the album was ranked number 376 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time.. Maroon 5 did a cover of "Hello" in their live album, Live - Friday the 13th.

[edit] History

The success of Morning Glory catapulted Oasis from being a successful Britpop band to being one of the biggest bands in Britain, and indeed the world, with substantial international fame, and considerable press coverage in the mainstream and music press. The band played several massive open air concerts in the UK during 1996, which included two nights at Knebworth in front of a combined audience of 250,000 people (125,000 each night). Over 2.5 million people had applied to buy tickets.[5] Noel reflected that it wouldn't be possible to top this. "For a six-week period building up to that gig we were the biggest band in the world," he said "We were bigger than, dare I say it, fucking God."[6]

Notes:

• Tracks 6 and 11 are officially untitled. The track listing displays no title for these songs, merely a blank space although in the Mexican edition of the Album they appear both as "The Swampsong"
• The excerpts from "The Swamp Song" are parts of the instrumental B-side to the "Wonderwall" single.
• The vinyl LP edition of the album features a bonus track, "Bonehead's Bank Holiday". This song appears as the seventh track on the album, immediately after the 43-second untitled track.

• "Step Out" had to be removed from the album at the last minute. The song, sung by Noel, was intended to have been the original track 8 (after "Some Might Say" and before "Cast No Shadow"), but was removed because the chorus was similar to that of Stevie Wonder's 1965 track "Uptight (Everything's Alright)". Wonder's publishing company had demanded a substantial amount of royalties from the album (which Oasis was not prepared to pay).[citation needed] The track was removed, although not before the first promotional copies of the album had been released with "Step Out" included.[citation needed] The track was eventually released as a B-side on Oasis' 1996 single "Don't Look Back in Anger", with an amended song writing credit of "Gallagher/Wonder/Cosby/May", and was included on the live album Familiar to Millions.
