The B-side refers to a track, or tracks, that artists put on the 'other' side of a 7” vinyl or tape single.
Songs could end up as B-sides for different reasons, for example if they don't quite match the general vibes of an album.
While many of them were just filler, others went on to become hits – such as Half the World Away by Oasis, which even entered the UK singles chart 21 years after its release, and was covered by Norwegian singer Aurora in the 2015 John Lewis Christmas advert.
