20 Songs Which Surprisingly Never Made It To No.1 In The UK Charts
2. Wonderwall - Oasis
Actual Chart Peak: No.2
There’s no doubt that Oasis’ most popular song is Wonderwall and if not, then unarguably their most successful one. The Gallagher brothers received a Grammy nomination for ‘Best Rock Vocal Performance’ as well as ‘Best Rock Song’. The song has also placed on many celebratory musical lists, such as NME’s ’50 Greatest Indie Anthems Ever’.
Whilst Wonderwall reached the top spot in Australia, it didn’t quite achieve the same heights in the UK. A single which has sold 1.34 million copies within Britain, it is the third biggest seller never to top the country's singles chart.
