Oasis 'Wonderwall' re-enters Hot 100

Oasis’ “Wonderwall” is back on the Billboard Hot 100 nearly 30 years after its original chart run, returning at No. 27 on the chart dated July 25, 2026. Billboard said the revival was driven by a surge in U.S. streams after England supporters adopted the 1995 song as an unofficial anthem during the men’s World Cup. The chart move has given Oasis a second late-summer news line alongside the rollout for “Oasis: Don’t Look Back in Anger,” the reunion documentary created by Steven Knight and directed by Dylan Southern and Will Lovelace. Oasis’ official site said the film will open in IMAX and cinemas worldwide on September 11 before streaming later this year on Disney+ internationally and on Hulu and Disney+ in the United States.

Billboard reported that “Wonderwall” re-entered the Hot 100 at No. 27, its first appearance on the chart since 1996. The song originally peaked at No. 8 in March 1996, according to Billboard’s artist chart history. Luminate data cited by Billboard showed 8.7 million chart-eligible U.S. streams for the track in the week of July 10-16, up 73% from the prior week. (oasisinet.com) Billboard also reported 2.2 million in all-format radio audience, up 41%, and 1,000 downloads sold, up 112%. ABC Audio said the increase followed England’s run to the World Cup semi-finals, with “Wonderwall” becoming closely associated with supporters during the tournament. (ca.billboard.com) Consequence separately described the song as an unofficial anthem for England fans during the competition. ### Why did the song resurface now instead of during the reunion tour itself? (ca.billboard.com) England’s World Cup run supplied the immediate trigger for the U.S. chart rebound, according to Billboard and ABC Audio. The reports tied the jump to fan use of the song during the tournament rather than to a newly released studio recording. (digital.abcaudio.com) Oasis has also been pushing anniversary and catalog releases in 2026. The band’s official site is promoting the 30th-anniversary campaign for “Don’t Look Back in Anger” and the deluxe edition of “(What’s The Story) Morning Glory?,” which includes new unplugged versions of “Wonderwall” and other songs from the album. ### What is in the documentary rollout? (digital.abcaudio.com) Oasis announced earlier this year that Steven Knight would create the reunion film, with Dylan Southern and Will Lovelace directing. The official announcement said the documentary would include onstage and backstage footage from the Gallagher brothers’ reunion tour. (oasisinet.com) Hypebeast reported that the teaser for “Don’t Look Back in Anger” billed the project as a film following Oasis across the “Live ’25” comeback tour. Rolling Stone Philippines quoted Knight as saying the documentary would serve as “a backstage pass” to Liam and Noel Gallagher’s first extended sit-down together in years. (oasisinet.com) ### Are there any new Oasis concert dates attached to this update? Billboard’s Oasis coverage in 2026 has focused on the World Cup-fueled chart return and the documentary’s festival and theatrical rollout, not on a newly announced leg of concerts. Oasis’ official news pages currently highlight the film release rather than fresh 2026 live dates. Liam Gallagher said in earlier Billboard coverage that fans would have to wait for any next leg of the reunion tour. (hypebeast.com) That leaves the documentary, rather than a new tour announcement, as the next scheduled Oasis milestone. ### What happens next for the band’s reunion campaign? September 11 is the next firm date on Oasis’ calendar tied to this story. Oasis’ official site and Disney’s press materials say “Oasis: Don’t Look Back in Anger” will open in IMAX and cinemas worldwide that day, before moving later in 2026 to Disney+ internationally and to Hulu and Disney+ in the United States.
