The Masterplan is a compilation album by the English rock band Oasis, comprising B-sides which never made it onto an album. The album was originally intended for release only in areas such as the United States and Japan, where the tracks were only available on expensive European import singles. It was first released in late 1998. The Masterplan reached number 2 in the UK[4] where it went platinum,[5] and number 51 in the United States. However, it did reach the Top 20 in various charts around the world, going on to sell two million copies.[6] Four songs from the album appear on the 2006 compilation album Stop the Clocks.
