Oasis classic Wonderwall on course to hit No1 after rocketing up charts thanks to Three Lions fans
OASIS classic Wonderwall is on course to hit No 1 thanks to Three Lions supporters and The Sun.
Their 1995 mega-hit Wonderwall has rocketed up the charts following England’s victory against Mexico.
It’s currently No2 on UK Spotify and No15 on Global Spotify—a leap of 27 places.
The track was streamed 2.8 million times on Monday following The Sun’s campaign to make it the England World Cup anthem.
It is due to enter the official Top 20 this Friday and is expected to finally reach No1 next week if England beat Norway on Saturday.
Despite being Oasis’ most iconic track, the song originally peaked at No2, famously kept off the top spot by Robson & Jerome’s I Believe / Up On The Roof.
Speaking to The Sun last month, Noel Gallagher backed calls for Wonderwall to become the unofficial England anthem.
The footy-mad Manchester City fan, 59, said: “Wonderwall belongs to the people, and it was a magical moment between the people and the players.
“Best of luck to everyone who’s made the trip out there.”
The movement was initially started by England fans who belted out the track alongside Jude Bellingham after their 4-2 triumph over Croatia at the AT&T Stadium in Dallas.
Ahead of the World Cup starting, every nation was asked to submit a playlist of songs to be played before and after games.
England submitted three songs, with one of them being Oasis‘ Wonderwall.
The Three Lions are currently bidding to end 60 years of heartbreak and win a second World Cup title – and they are that one step closer after booking their spot in the quarter-finals.
