The Killers’ ‘Mr Brightside’ overtakes Oasis’ ‘Wonderwall’ to smash huge UK singles record
Killers song ‘Mr Brightside’ has officially broken a huge singles record in the UK.As announced today (May 9) by Official Charts, the now-legendary 2004 track has taken over from Oasis’ ‘Wonderwall’ to become the UK’s official biggest single of all time yet to reach Number One.Released as part of their debut album ‘Hot Fuss’, which was shared 20 years ago this month, the song didn’t go on to top the charts, but did end up becoming an unmissable part of British culture.Initially it dropped in 2003 as the follow-up to the band’s Number Three charting single ‘Somebody Told Me’, and the synth-laden anthem peaked at a somewhat modest Number 10 slot on the charts. However, two decades on, has gone on to become the longest-running Top 100 hit in Official Chart history.According to new figures from the Official Charts Company, it has been shown that with UK sales and streams of 5.57million – including 1.066million sales and 530,340,000 streams – the song is now the UK’s most successful song of all time yet to reach Number One.It has also been shown to be the third biggest song of all time in the UK when sales and streams are combined.When it was first shared, it only spent a few weeks in the charts before dropping out, but fast forward to 2024 and the song has now spent 408 weeks (just under eight years) and counting in the Official Singles Chart Top 100 – holding the title of the most weeks on chart of any song in UK Official Chart history.On average, it is being streamed in the UK around 1.8million times per week, and there’s no sign of it slowing, either.

Noel Gallagher once bought one of Peter Green’s Gibson Les Paul guitars – but erased Green’s signature from it
Noel Gallagher once bought one of Peter Green’s Les Paul guitars, and intentionally removed the signature from it to get back at a rude employee.The late rock icon and Fleetwood Mac founder was the owner of countless high-profile guitars, including the famous ‘Greeny’ – which was later passed to Gary Moore, who handed it on to Metallica’s Kirk Hammett.However, that particular model was just one of a number of guitars that were sold after his death, and now The Coral guitarist Bill Ryder-Jones has revealed the story behind one that was modified by Oasis legend Noel Gallagher.Speaking with Guitar World, he recalled how he was given the Les Paul by Gallagher in 2006 when The Coral were recording an album in his studio, but was initially unaware of the rich history behind the model.Recalling how the Britpop icon got his hands on the guitar, Ryder-Jones recalled how Gallagher erased the Peter Green signature from the body out of spite of a rude shop owner.“He didn’t know who Noel was; he somehow had not heard of Oasis,” he explained. “But Noel saw one of the guitars at the top of the shelf, like behind the counter, and said, ‘Can I have a go with that Les Paul?’“And the guy behind the counter goes, ‘Erm, you do know that was Peter Green’s, and it’s signed by Peter Green, right?’ He reluctantly got it down and gave it to Noel.”From there, Gallagher, who was apparently irked by the shop owner’s attitude, decided to get back at him and “spat on his T-shirt and rubbed off the signature.”“He purposefully rubbed off Peter Green’s signature to make a point to the guy in the guitar shop,” Ryder-Jones continued.
