Many potential locations were examined along the Somerset and Avon coastline (Oasis were playing Glastonbury that weekend, so a beach within striking distance of the festival site had to be found). The single artwork features a photograph of the band on the beach at Weston-super-Mare. When Oasis played "Roll with It" on British chart show Top of the Pops on 17 August 1995, they were required to mime the song, and in doing so the Gallagher brothers switched roles with Liam pretending to play guitar and Noel pretending to sing (equipped with Liam's tambourine). He suggested that a chart race between Oasis's " Cigarettes & Alcohol" and Blur's " Girls & Boys" would have had greater merit: "'Roll With It' has never been played by anybody since the band split up". In 2019, Noel Gallagher reflected on the battle on Dermot O'Leary's Reel Stories, dismissing both songs as "shit". The singles charted at number 1 and number 2 respectively. In the end, Blur's "Country House" single sold 274,000 copies to Oasis' 216,000 copies of "Roll with It". In particular, public imagination was sparked by the contrast between the "working class" Oasis and the "middle class" Blur. The media sensation was spurred on by verbal attacks from the respective camps (in particular Noel and Liam Gallagher, Damon Albarn and Alex James), that extended beyond the music industry to the point where the two bands were regularly mentioned on the evening news. The British media had already reported an intense rivalry between the two bands and this clash of releases was seen as a battle for the number one spot.
"Roll with It" received a great deal of attention when Food Records, the label of Britpop rivals Blur, moved the original release date of the single " Country House" to beat it on the charts, sparking what came to be known as " The Battle of Britpop". The song was described by American music critic Stephen Thomas Erlewine as, "an assured stadium rocker that unabashedly steals the crown from Status Quo". In a highly publicised chart battle with Blur's single " Country House" dubbed " The Battle of Britpop," "Roll with It" reached number two on the UK Singles Chart. It was released on 14 August 1995 as the second single (the lead single being "Some Might Say") from their second studio album (What's the Story) Morning Glory? (1995).
" Roll with It" is a song by English rock band Oasis, written by lead guitarist Noel Gallagher. The song was the last #1 hit of Casey Kasem's 18-year run as the original host of American Top 40 (he would return to host the program 10 years later), as well as being the first #1 song of Shadoe Stevens' hosting tenure.For the Steve Winwood song, see Roll with It (Steve Winwood song).įrom the album (What's the Story) Morning Glory?

In the United Kingdom, the song reached No. 1 on the Billboard mainstream rock chart. It topped the Billboard adult contemporary chart for two weeks, and also spent four weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart in the summer of 1988.

It was written by Winwood and songwriter Will Jennings. "Roll with It" is a song recorded by Steve Winwood for his album, Roll with It, released on Virgin Records.
