Which of the Gallagher back catalogue has sold the most in the UK? Radio X crunches the numbers. Is your favourite in there?

Note: where more than one single has been awarded Platinum status, we've ordered them by which single achieved those sales first.

1. Wonderwall - 2.4 million copies

   The classic 1995 track was the second biggest selling UK single never to make Number 1, after Robson And Jerome's I Believe kept it at bay. In April 2022, it was certified six times platinum, which means it's sold over 3,600,000 copies in the UK alone.

2. Don't Look Back In Anger - 1.8 million copies

   Another huge tune to be taken from the album (What's The Story) Morning Glory, this Mancunian anthem was awarded five-times platinum status by the BPI in March 2023, meaning it's sold more than 3 million copies. Unlike Wonderwall, however, Don't Look Back In Anger topped the charts.

3. D'You Know What I Mean - 745,000 copies

   The big comeback single that previewed the equally massive Be Here Now album had sold an incredible 745,000 copies by October 2016.

4. Whatever - 600,000 copies

   This one off single from 1994 was certified Platinum by the BPI in May 2017, meaning it's sold over 600k copies. Unfortunately, there was a well-known court case over this song, involving Neil Innes of Monty Python fame, which you can read more about here.

5. Roll With It - 600,000 copies

   Another Platinum-selling Oasis single, this track famously went head to head with Country House by Blur in the Britpop summer of 1995 - and lost. It finally hit Platinum status in June.

6. Live Forever - 600,000 copies
