Top singles from the past
14 August 2025
OASIS, the talk of the world right now, released their single
ROLL WITH IT today 30 years (time flies supersonically) ago,
on 14 August 1995.
It was the 2nd single, following their No.1 hit Some Might Say from
their 2nd, million-selling album, What’s The Story (Morning Glory).
Blur deliberately released their single Country House on the same day.
Prior to the release day, their management started a smart ‘Battle of Britpop‘
campaign. Blur won the contest when they immediately topped the charts,
with Oasis coming in 2nd.
The single artwork features a photograph of the band on the beach at Weston-super-Mare, UK. Many potential locations were examined along the Somerset and Avon coastline. The Mancunians were playing Glastonbury that weekend, so a location within striking distance of the festival site had to be found.
