Noel Gallagher Dominates Vinyl Sales In The UK

The only other women or acts featuring women to feature in the top 40 are Courtney Barnett (Sometimes I Sit and Think and Sometimes I Just Sit, No 23), Florence + the Machine (How Big How Blue How Beautiful, No 27), Fleetwood Mac (Rumours, No 29), Belle & Sebastian (Girls in Peacetime Want To Dance, No 36), Björk (Vulnicura, No 37) and Wolf Alice (My Love Is Cool, No 40).

The singles chart is even more skewed, with Gallagher and his Birds occupying the top three places, as well as No 7. David Bowie, meanwhile is at No 5 and No 6 , as well as No 10 (for a split single with Television’s Tom Verlaine released for Record Store Day). Florence + the Machine (What Kind of Man, No 14) and Courtney Barnett (Kim’s Caravan, No 17) are the only women in the top 20.

Noel Gallagher Is Wary Of Mixing With Other Rock Stars Backstage At Festivals

The outspoken former Oasis star is famous for his habit of taking other musicians to task during interviews, and in the past he has blasted artists including Lady GaGa, Radiohead, Madonna, Blur, Mark Ronson, Sum 41, and Keane.

However, he fears that one day his remarks will come back to bite him as he occasionally spots those he has taken aim at while milling around backstage at gigs.

Gallagher tells U.K. talk show host Alan Carr, "Festivals can be a bit tricky backstage, because I have s**gged a lot of people off in my time and catering can be a bit tricky if someone that you have nailed a couple of times is across the room and someone is nudging you going, 'Whatshisname is over there. Just blank him it will be alright'. So I've had a few tricky situations. Keeps it interesting."

Noel Gallagher Performs At Kate Moss' Birthday Party

Noel Gallagher sung to Kate Moss at her 40th birthday party.

The former Oasis star was cheered on by a number of guests as he broke into the catchy acoustic of 'Happy Birthday' at 6am yesterday (19.01.14) in celebration of the supermodel's milestone age.

Kate - who kicked off her celebrations with a posh lunch on Thursday (16.01.14) - reportedly spent £30,000 on entertainment for the big bash at her Cotswolds home on Saturday night (18.01.14).

Florence and the Machine, Mark Ronson, Soul II Soul and Massive Attack performed in yurts in the garden, while there were also tarot card readings, fire jugglers and face-painters on hand throughout the Glastonbury-themed party.

The blonde beauty reportedly paid out a hefty £80,000 on spirits and an endless supply of champagne to keep her guests entertainment.

Uma Thurman, Naomi Campbell and Stella McCartney were just a few of her famous friends in attendance, but all mobile phones were to be handed in at the door to stop any drunken photos being uploaded to Twitter or Instagram.

A source told The Sun newspaper: ''Everyone knew it was going to be a wicked party, which it was.

''It was truly epic and isn't even over yet... ''

Meanwhile, Kate hired the dining room at a local pub last night (19.01.14) for her and the remaining guests who were still standing after a boozy four days of partying.

Liam Gallagher And Miles Kane Feature In New Portrait Exhibition

Liam Gallagher, Miles Kane and The Maccabees are just some of the artists that feature in a groundbreaking new "video portrait" exhibition in London.

Each portrait is accompanied by a music track of the subject's choice. Other personalities featured include Azealia Banks, Professor Green, Rizzle Kicks and Mark Ronson.

"The idea behind this project is to combine both the media of photography and video, and push them forward together," says Oxley. "I really want people to stop and think, then instantly connect with what is in front of them. This allows the viewer to stand back and truly take notice of what they are seeing, where subtle movements from the subject create a striking visual impact"

The exhibition opens on October 19 at the Londonewcastle Project Space in East London and runs until 28 October 2012. Admission is free. For more information, see londonewcastle.com.
