British rock band Oasis are to launch their new album 'Dig Out Your Soul' on an internet social networking site on Wednesday, a MySpace spokesperson said.

The spokesperson said the deal was a global exclusive, apart from in Hong Kong, Denmark and the Netherlands.

Fans can hear the band's seventh studio album in its entirety on music.myspace.com or myspace.com/oasis from 1100 GMT on Wednesday ahead of next Monday's official release.

British band Coldplay allowed their fans to listen to their album 'Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends' on the site before its release in June.
