(What's the Story) Morning Glory? is the second studio album by British rock band Oasis. It was released on 2 October 1995 by Creation Records. The album propelled the band to international success and spawned several hit singles, including "Roll with It," "Wonderwall," "Don't Look Back In Anger," "Some Might Say," and "Champagne Supernova."
Produced by Owen Morris and the group's guitarist and chief songwriter Noel Gallagher, the record was reportedly a more focused and introspective album compared to their debut album, "Definitely Maybe." Its lyrical themes touch upon life experiences, personal reflection, and the Gallagher brothers' famously tumultuous relationship.
The album was a major commercial success, selling a record-breaking number of copies in its first week. It charted at number one in the UK Albums Chart, and reached Top 5 on the US Billboard 200. It became the band's best-selling album, with over 22 million copies sold worldwide. The album was also critically acclaimed and has since been cited in several lists of the greatest albums in rock music.
Despite the success, the creation of the album was quite challenging. The Gallagher brothers' frequent clashes and disputes over the musical direction of the band almost led to their break up. However, the band managed to work through these challenges to produce an album that remains iconic in the history of British rock.
