The current “Wonderwall” tally of 660,000-ish daily plays mean it’s generating around $2,650 in recorded music royalties every 24 hours (or around a million dollars a year)
And that's not counting radio plays, record sales, licensing.
wow...

Interesting article ; I didn't expect "Wonderwall" would perform so well.
I'd like to know the streaming figures of "Losing my religion" in comparison, this was an even bigger international hit (more popular stateside than "Wonderwall"); according to Rolling Stone's article it's got less streams than "Wonderwall" which I find incredible.

Keep in mind this only counts plays from Spotify and not those from Google Play/YouTube Music, Apple Music and Tidal. The revenues are huge for a song released in the mid 90s.

Wonderwall is the song that creeps into everybody's playlist. It's a shame really, so much better material from Oasis.

I find it incredible and weird at the same time, that an indie song like Wonderwall has been almost streamed 1 billion times and reached that success in general.

Wonderwall grosses an average 1000000 dollars a year, which means liam makes a rough 140000 a year, shit! Off that song alone.

I have often played Oasis songs from my cd/digital copy, So I haven't contribute to their royalties! Sorry!

My 15 year old son says he and his mates often listen to Wonderwall/Champagne Supernova/Don't Look Back In Anger at parties. Why? Because they're anthems and anyone can yell along, arm in arm after a dozen beers or vodkas or whatever they're drinking. The grime and rap artists he otherwise listens to will be forgotten next year.

Wonderwall is the song that creeps into everybody's playlist. It's a shame really, so much better material from Oasis. While I agree, I think it is great that a band we love has a song that is so transcendent in its song power to naturally reach such a wide audience in so many places. Few acts can lay claim to that and it's even more special for Oasis because Wonderwall was just something natural Noel and the boys created, and it wasn't like it was manufactured to be that way. No matter what, we can always hold in our hearts that DLBIA, Champagne Supernova, Live Forever, etc. are better and touch our lives more, but we can't deny that Wonderwall is a great song that has touched people's lives in the same way that DLBIA, CS, and LF have and that speaks to the power of Oasis and Noel's songwriting.

It's fascinating to see that modern pop songs have a quicker expiry date on them. Materialism is so rife that so much more things are becoming disposable because of the need for instant gratification. And these tunes appeal to that idea of instant gratification - song writing through committees, almost algorithms essentially. A popular synth here, a generic melody line here, a beat drops at this precise moment, all based around common vocal and instrumental rhythms. And the production is so glossy with no human error at all.
Music is essentially becoming fast food - cheap, easy to make with the same ingredients for instant gratification. Nice feeling but it doesn't have a mindblowing impact on you, it does you no good in the long term and is easily forgettable. Most popular music has just become listenable background noise and is a mere distraction at best with its comforting familiarity but doesn't go straight to the heart that a classic standard pop song like Wonderwall does. I genuinely think this is about authenticity and sincerity and how the human mind is able to subconsciously recognise these things with real emotion to it, not something churned off the production line and is robotic. A devil's advocate would say 'but what is Wonderwall doing new or unique' and for sure on the surface level, you can't really hear anything new, but I think people have a primal instinct to something that is true in its emotions. There's a direct line from the pure emotions in the songwriter's mind straight to the record - it's not being diluted by hundreds of people in a committee room deciding what people want from this song, but by what the writer feels. It's why Wonderwall is timeless, and most of your modern pop songs aren't.
