It's not very often that a contemporary musician manages to outsell the Beatles, but in a miraculous turn of events, Oasis has officially beaten out their musical idols on the U.K.'s list of the popular albums of all-time.
As per the outlet, Oasis has managed to outsell the Beatles with their second album, (What's The Story) Morning Glory?, edging out the Beatles' classic 1967 album, Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.
The revised list specifically places Oasis' 1995 album on number three on the country's all-time best-sellers list, following Queen's 1981 Greatest Hits (number one) and 1992's Abba Gold (number two).
Meanwhile, Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band has dropped down to the number five spot, behind Adele's 2011 album, 21.

"What's the Story [sounds] laboured and lazy. On this evidence, Oasis are a limited band ... they sound knackered," wrote Melody Maker.
Conversely, other critics felt the album a natural progression for the up and coming British band, with Rolling Stone sharing, "What's the Story is more than a natural progression, it's a bold leap forward that displays significant musical and personal growth."
Regardless, the album proved to be incredibly endearing among ordinary listeners, with the band's "Wonderwall" becoming one of the most iconic songs of the 1990s, as well as the band's most beloved song to this day.
