The structure and arrangement style of the album were a significant departure from the group’s previous record Definitely Maybe.

Music journalist John Harris also noted the strong presence of the band’s musical influences throughout the songs on the album. Among the influences that Harris noted were Gary Glitter, Stevie Wonder and most prominently, The Beatles.

The record propelled Oasis from being a crossover  indie act to a worldwide rock phenomenon. The band’s most commercially successful release, (What’s the Story) Morning Glory? sold a record-breaking 347,000 copies in its first week on sale, spent 10 weeks at number one on the UK Albums Chart. Singles from the album were successful in Britain, America and Australia: “Some Might Say” and “Don’t Look Back in Anger” reached number one in the UK and the album became the best selling album of the 90s in the UK

Noel Gallagher’s compositions were more focused in balladry and placed more emphasis on “huge” choruses. Music journalist John Harris also noted the strong presence of the band’s musical influences throughout the songs on the album. Among the influences that Harris noted were Gary Glitter, Stevie Wonder and most prominently, The Beatles.

The record propelled Oasis from being a crossover  indie act to a worldwide rock phenomenon. The band’s most commercially successful release, (What’s the Story) Morning Glory? sold a record-breaking 347,000 copies in its first week on sale, spent 10 weeks at number one on the UK Albums Chart. Singles from the album were successful in Britain, America and Australia: “Some Might Say” and “Don’t Look Back in Anger” reached number one in the UK and the album became the best selling album of the 90s in the UK
