Oasis’ 10 most played songs on UK radio and TV in the 21st century have been revealed by music licensing company PPL.

To celebrate Oasis' triumphant reunion tour, PPL has put together Noel and Liam Gallagher's most played tracks of the past 25 years using airplay data from radio and TV stations across the UK, including, of course, Greatest Hits Radio.

Priding itself on ‘championing music rights’, the company uses this airplay data to collect royalties and pay performers and recording rightsholders.

According to PPL, Oasis have amassed over seven years of cumulative airplay on UK radio and TV stations since the turn of the century, with their songs being played around 120 times per day.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, Oasis’ enduring 1995 anthem ‘Don’t Look Back in Anger’ is the most played song followed by their global smash ‘Wonderwall’. Interestingly, two of the tracks haven’t made the setlist for the current Oasis’ Live in 25 Tour.

Peter Leathem OBE, CEO of PPL, said: “Oasis are one of the most iconic, era-defining bands we have ever seen. They dominated the 1990s and 2000s, and for many they personified those decades, but their timeless songs continue to resonate with audiences even long after their release.

“With their reunion tour underway, this chart provides the perfect opportunity to look back in admiration at the enduring impact of their music throughout this century, and to celebrate one of the greatest British bands of all time.”

Following the triumphant first two nights at Cardiff Principality Stadium, Oasis’ reunion tour continues with the first of five homecoming shows at Manchester Heaton Park on Friday (11th July).
