Oasis, the symbol of Britpop, has been inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, regarded as the sanctuary of American rock music.

According to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Foundation and The New York Times on April 14 (local time), Oasis was selected as an inductee for the 41st annual ceremony, alongside the heavy metal band Iron Maiden.

Formed in Manchester, UK in 1991, Oasis gained worldwide popularity with hits such as "Don't Look Back in Anger." The group disbanded in 2009 due to conflicts between the core members, brothers Noel Gallagher and Liam Gallagher. However, after 15 years, they reunited last year and are currently on a world tour.

Oasis became eligible for nomination in 2019, 25 years after the release of their debut album "Definitely Maybe" in 1994. However, they did not make the nominee list until 2024, when they were nominated for the first time but did not make the final cut.

This year's inductee list also includes rock star Billy Idol, Genesis alumnus Phil Collins, the legendary figure of mystical R&B Sade, and Wu-Tang Clan, who defined the sound of 1990s hip-hop. Post-punk pioneers Joy Division/New Order and R&B vocalist Luther Vandross were also inducted into the Hall of Fame. Notably, Phil Collins and Wu-Tang Clan achieved the distinction of being inducted immediately upon their first nomination.

The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame grants nomination eligibility to artists 25 years after the release of their first recording. More than 1,000 industry experts and existing inductees vote to determine the final honorees. In this year's voting, Mariah Carey and Pink failed to make the cut. New Edition, which received support from over one million fans in the fan vote, also did not make the final list.

The 41st induction ceremony will be held on November 14 at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles, USA.
