I was just on the Oasis page on Spotify, and the 5 currently most popular tracks really surprised me.
1. Stand By Me 2. Champagne Supernova 3. She's Electric 4. Stop Crying Your Heart Out 5. Don't Go Away
First reaction: How did She's Electric get so popular all of a sudden? Maybe it featured in an episode of a popular TV show or something? I really like it, but it feels like a track not many "outsiders" would know. Second reaction: Where the hell are Don't Look Back In Anger, and particularly Wonderwall? The absence of these two really made me wondering what's going on.
What are your theories?

Shes electric is such a popular song its crazy, I was in the car with a mate of mine a few months ago and he was looking at the cd case for morning glory and we got talking about oasis, I asked him if he knew any of the songs on the album without putting them on and all he knew was roll with it, wonderwall and she's electric....

I guess my main question is not how for example She's Electric can be so popular (although it does really surprise me), but how it can be more popular than Wonderwall. THAT really is mind blowing to me.

THAT really is mind blowing to me. Overexposure of Wonderwall is the only logical answer to the question. People are simply tired of it at this point. ----- I had to go give She's Electric a listen to remind myself of the album recording of the tune.... it's absolutely brilliant. Prefect vocals, great guitar flourished and solo, bouncy, happy... I'd forgotten how good it is. It gets overshadowed by the other classics on Morning Glory, but it really is a fantastic tune. Almost doesn't sound like Oasis frankly. It's a perfect recording a la The Masterplan.

one theory about why She's Electric might be popular is that The Kooks recently did a cover for BBC Radio 2. maybe people heard it there and went to spotify to check the original

She's Electric get lots of plays in clubs here in The Hague. I wish Noel played it again.

Oasis songs that I'd wager any 'casual' music listener over the age of oh, 15, in the UK knows...
Wonderwall Champagne Supernova Don't Look Back In Anger She's Electric Stop Crying Your Heart Out (weirdly enough, everyone seems to know this song - probably because it had a huge resurgence during the 2010 world cup!)
She's Electric is massively, massively popular.
When I first started going out when I was 17ish, so 2012, there'd always be an hour between about 3-4 where they'd play some 'retro' (yeh, horrid UK club culture) tunes. Wonderwall, She's Electric and Don't Look Back In Anger were the three to finish it off.

Not really sure why Wonderwall and DLBIA are removed, I noticed it too a while ago. Wonderwall had over 200m streams and DLBIA over 100m, but now they've disappeared. I think Spotify might've done something wrong because it also shows only 5 songs in the "popular" list and there used to be 10.

Glad to see Don't Go Away in the top 5. That song should have been FAR bigger than it actually was. I would have put it as the second single.

I'm on Spotify right now and the list still shows Wonderwall on top with 339m listens. It still baffles me that SCYHO has 33m listens. There are much better songs than that!

Of all the times I've randomly heard Oasis in America, She's Electric was the one I've heard most other than Wonderwall and Champagne Supernova

I once saw a 5-disc karaoke set for the biggest hits of the 90's and the two Oasis songs it included were Wonderwall and She's Electric. It must be fairly popular among casual fans if it made it onto there!

The only massive surprise for me is that Whatever isn't in the top 10, growing up in Britain in the 90's that song was huge

Stop Crying Your Heart Out (weirdly enough, everyone seems to know this song - probably because it had a huge resurgence during the 2010 world cup!) Yeah it was brilliant when they used that song for the world cup. Also i hate to say because of X Factor, Leona Lewis did stop crying your heart out which probably gave it a big boost from the kids who had never heard the original. Still a classic tune

Pretty sure Stop Crying Your Heart Out was also played when Brazil knocked England out of the 2002 World Cup in Japan / South Korea, didn't realise it was used again in 2010.

I thought it was to do with them removing the original DM & WTSMG and putting on the re-masters. I thought that was something to do with top 5 changing so heavily.

Nothing could possibly knock those two from the top.
