"Wonderwall" by Oasis continues to see a resurgence on the charts following its moment in the World Cup spotlight.
After becoming the unofficial World Cup anthem for Team England, it's seen plenty of renewed chart activity, 30 years after its release on October 30, 1995, as the fourth single from the group's second studio album, (What's the Story) Morning Glory?
The '90s classic was back on the Billboard Hot 100 for the first time since it first charted in 1996.
Per Billboard, the song re-entered the chart for the week of July 25, coming in at No. 27.
According to the outlet, it was "led by 8.7 million chart-eligible U.S. streams July 10-16, according to data tracker Luminate," marking a 73% surge week over week.
"It also totaled 2.2 million in all-format radio audience, up 41%, and 1,000 downloads sold, up 112%," the report read.
Earlier last week, the tune by the English rock band was among “the most-played songs, as of July 14, taking the No. 2 spot in the Top 5 Spotify ranking, next to Shakira and Burna Boy’s official World Cup Anthem, “Dai Dai."
The track has seen a major resurgence during the 2026 FIFA World Cup, with passionate fans serenading England’s national team on the field. And after every victorious match, players lined up arm-in-arm, belting out the hit alongside a sea of supporters boasting the country's colors.
The last moment happened when England defeated France, in a thrilling 6-4 win during the Bronze Medal Match on July 18, taking third place.
Noel Gallagher, the lead guitarist, primary songwriter, and co-lead vocalist of Oasis, previously told The Sun of the song's comeback: “Wonderwall belongs to the people, and it was a magical moment between the people and the players.
The single, which ranked among the “Greatest Songs of All Time,” per Rolling Stones, narrowly missed the top spot in the U.K., peaking at No. 2 on the Singles Chart, while U.S charts saw it hit No. 8 on the Hot 100 during its original, 20-week run.
Per Billboard, the band last appeared on the charts for a short-lived week on October 23 at No. 93 for "The Shock of Lightning."
The parent album, "(What's The Story) Morning Glory," previously reentered the Billboard 200 in Oct. 2025 for its 30th anniversary. In honor of the milestone, the Grammy-nominated band unveiled a deluxe reissue of the wildly successful album earlier this month. Upon its release in 1996, it took the No. 4 spot on the Billboard 200.
Oasis’ ‘90s classic “Wonderwall” is back on Billboard Hot 100 for the first time since 1996, sparked by its usage by fans of the English men’s team during the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
