BRITs Winner Noel Gallagher: 'I Haven't Written a Song in Years'
9 Feb
Summary
- A petition questioned Noel Gallagher's BRIT Award win due to lack of new material.
- Gallagher joked about not writing songs but highlighted significant record sales.
- Oasis's sales surged due to their 2025 global tour, topping UK charts.
A petition has surfaced questioning Noel Gallagher's recent BRIT Award, citing his lack of original songwriting in the past two years. Musician Låpsley initiated the petition, arguing the award should go to a songwriter with new material. The controversy arises as Oasis's 2025 global tour, featuring '90s classics, led to a resurgence in their album sales and streams.
Gallagher addressed the criticism on TalkSport, laughing about his win despite not writing new songs. He attributed the award to substantial record sales, claiming Oasis sold a million records last year without him actively composing. He challenged any songwriters with issues to confront him directly.
He also suggested the BRITs might have wanted an Oasis member due to the ceremony being held in Manchester. Oasis's catalog saw increased sales and streams in 2025, topping the U.K. Official Albums Chart and receiving special physical reissues tied to their tour. The BRIT Awards have been approached for comment on the petition.
