Westlife Leap Into Lead
Lads Set To Beat Beatles
Westlife are set to do the unthinkable and beat both The Beatles and Oasis to the No 1 spot.
No offence to the Oirish man-band, but I really didn't see that one coming.
In a swift turn-around of fortunes, Nicky Byrne, 27, Kian Egan, 26, and the other two have leapt from third spot in the album race with The Love album. They're a solid 5,000 sales ahead of Oasis with Stop The Clocks and have shifted nearly twice as many copies as The Beatles' Love.
The lads are currently in Australia, because like me, they are big down under. But using the telephone, I've managed to get hold of one of their camp.
I'm told: "They'll not talk to you yet Joe. The band have banned the subject until the final charts are released on Sunday. They're refusing to get excited about it yet, because it's so early in the week and there's sill a long way to go. "They're a superstitious lot and don't want to curse themselves by speaking too soon."
HMV fountain of knowledge Gennaro Castaldo said: "People might not have expected Westlife to match or even outsell such iconic bands as The Beatles and Oasis, but we shouldn't forget they have an incredibly dedicated fan base. "It's going to be nip and tuck."
Dangerous though it may seem at this stage, I'm going to get my manparts out and say Oasis will top the charts come the weekend.
Noel is currently the top lad in the Mott "rock stars who are actually sound" section. Fancy a meal with the missus mate?

Oasis Blaspheme Themselves Before The Lords Of Rock
We've often said that there are no limits to who the Gallagher brothers will shit talk, but the thing is theres REALLY no limit to who the Gallagher brothers will shit talk. The Beatles, and John Lennon in particular, have always been the obvious inspiration behind, um, everything Oasis has ever done. But when new record Stop the Clocks, a greatest hits package, went up against the Beatles Love on the UK charts, the pressure made the Gallaghers go places we thought even they wouldn dare.
"It's a pointless exercise," Noel Gallagher reportedly said about Love, adding that he shut the album off after five songs. Liam was more to the point. He called the tracks rubbish.
Um, brothers Gallagher? If you had a real record to pit against Love this might have been the right moment to point out that this new Beatles record is mostly just a collection of audio snippets woven together by Sir George Martin into something resembling a cohesive song that will inspire the bodily contortions of your average Cirque du Soleil-ist. But your record is a not-so-awesome collection of greatest hits you are releasing to fulfill your contract with your label. And you are not John Lennon. You arent even Pete Best or Jane Asher.
You have a non-record out. They have a non-record out. But they are the fucking Beatles, so they win. Get over it.

Oasis Needs YOU For A No1
Some of the greatest names in music to ever hail from these fair isles.
EGAN, FEEHILY, BYRNE, FILAN. Some of the not-so-great names in music to hail from these fair isles. Yet I have some tragic news, readers. The battle for superiority in the Supergroups Showdown, the biggest head-to-head of musical greats in chart history, looks like it’s going to be won by . . . WESTLIFE.
Forget OASIS, THE BEATLES and U2, it is the four Oirish, stool-loving balladeers who look like unravelling everything we hold sacred in this country’s musical heritage and claiming Sunday’s top album.
While early official midweek chart figures show Oasis just leading the pack, the news is grim for people who like their music with guitars, bass, drums and genuine talent. The numbers show Oasis at No1 on 52,000, Westlife at No2 on 51,000, The Beatles at No3 on 31,000 and U2 at No4 with 18,000.
But these do NOT take into account the massive amount of Tesco sales, which will weigh heavily in Westlife’s favour.
Experts predict that with housewife supermarket purchasing, Oasis will be pushed aside and de ’Loife will breeze into the No1 spot by an easy 5,000 sales.
But fear not, comrades, it is not too late to stop this tragedy.
With people power and a swell of support from Bizarre readers it is possible to overturn this catastrophe.
My artists have mocked up a LIAM GALLAGHER version of Lord Kitchener’s World War One recruitment poster to inspire you to put your hands in your pockets and prevent disaster.
If every man, woman and child among you gets behind Oasis’s Stop The Clocks, The Beatles’ album Love or U2’s singles collection 18 then we can perhaps hold our heads high when the charts are announced on Sunday.
Totally impartial but closet Westlife fan Gennaro Castaldo, from HMV, said it was the most exciting chart battle in ages and that Oasis fans should not give up yet.
He told me yesterday: “People might have thought the race for the No1 album this week would be between Oasis and The Beatles, and perhaps U2, but Westlife are proving their enduring appeal.
“But Gallagher fans shouldn’t lose heart. While Westlife may be edging overall figures, it’s no contest at HMV, where Stop The Clocks is currently outselling The Love Album by nearly three to one.
“If it came down to just HMV customers, Oasis would swagger in to the top spot.”Do your bit, Bizarre readers — buy Stop The Clocks and do your bit to Stop The C*cks.
Let the hate mail commence.

Westlife Likely To Beat Both U2 And Oasis To Album Chart Top Spot
Westlife look likely to romp to the top of the album chart come Sunday with their The Love Album collection, according to industry insider predictions.
DiS has heard on the proverbial grapevine that the Irish boyband's latest is looking certain to outsell newly released best-ofs from U2 and Oasis - 18 and Stop The Clocks respectively - as well as the new Beatles album, Love. It was previously assumed that this week's number one position would be contested between the Manchester outfit and the Bono-led rock four-piece.
Sales data from one leading supermarket is yet to be collected, meaning that things could change, but considering Westlife's popularity with daytime-shopping mothers (a shocking generalisation? Nah...), it's unlikely that either Oasis or U2, or The Beatles, will beat them to the number one position before Sunday's chart confirmation.
Of course, everything can change. But it probably won't.

Oasis Rant: They Slam New Beatles Album
They might be big fans of The Beatles but Oasis have slammed the new album which came out at the same time as their very own best of, Stop The Clocks on Monday (20 November).
Love – which was produced by Sir George Martin and his son Giles using Beatles songs and the original sounds recorded in the 60's went head to head with Oasis but it has been quickly rubbished by the Gallagher brothers.
Speaking at the UK screening of their road movie Lord Don’t Slow Me Down at the Curzon in Mayfair, London Noel said:
“It’s a pointless exercise; if you haven’t got The Beatles by now you’re not going to get it.”
Speaking about their own DVD ahead of its release next year Liam admitted he was glad the film was finished saying, “I buzzed of myself, I played a blinder.” And his brother Noel offered an insight into what it was like being the subject of a fly on the wall documentary which was directed by Baillie Walsh:
“Baillie Walsh said I wouldn’t notice the cameras after a while, you do notice them, but I was alright with that, I kind of enjoyed it.
”Meanwhile in the Sun newspaper today Noel Gallagher has launched another rant, saying he thinks the likes of Elton John and Robbie Williams need to get reality checks, and also claims green activists are wasting their time with environmental campaigns.
www.bbc.co.uk/6music
Don't Believe The Lies
NOEL GALLAGHER has seen RED over the current mania for all things GREEN.
The OASIS legend has given a landmark interview in which he passes judgement on modern Britain, politics, music and the celebrity culture which he despises.
Noel gave off enough of his own hot air to bring down the ozone layer in one interview session.
What makes Mancunian Noel most angry is the fad for Green politics and do-gooders trying to save the planet.
Guitarist Gallagher, 39, fumed: “Greens are f***ing hippies with no place in the world.
“They’ve been telling us for the last 50 years not to use aerosols or the sky’s going to fall in.
“Well - you’re the scientists, do something about it.
“How do you suggest we get 50million Chinese not to have a fridge?
“Or get 700million Americans to stop using their big stupid cars.
“The only way its going to happen is if the sky falls in.
“Until is does, these Greens are wasting their time.
“I’m glad - because in 50 years time I’ll be dead.”
Finding a rock star with such strong opinions is a rare thing these days.But Noel more than makes up for the rest of them during this exclusive interview to promote Oasis new Greatest Hits album Stop The Clocks.
His Green opinions - like all of his thoughts - are more than just hot air.
He tries to get a rise with a controversial statement - but then backs it up.
Noel is convinced that even if the world does change for the worse, kids of tomorrow will simply adapt.
He explained: “They won't be sitting there going: ‘Dad, you shouldn't have brought me into this world.’
“Kids adapt.
“Our parents are horrified about the society we built for ourselves - drugs and sex and drink and rock'n'roll and television.
“But to us that's normal.
“So - we'll be horrified with what follows.
“By the time I'm on my deathbed my daughter ANAIS will be some mental axe-wielding cyber punk lunatic. And I'll be horrified.
“I'll be glad to get out of the place! She'll have adapted quite well, I would have thought.
“The world in which we live - they always say: we have to leave a safer planet for our children.
“Well - I haven't got a car. So I'm doing my bit for the environment.
Girlfriend ... Sara McDonald
“I walk everywhere. I only live round the corner from Central London and I walk everywhere.
“That's my bit. I take public transport and I walk. So I don't clog up the roads with petrol fumes and all that stuff. That's what I'm doing.”
And Noel has utter contempt for celebrities who lock themselves away from the rest of us and refuse to ever get on the bus or just walk.
He maintains that he still goes to buy his own groceries - and people like ROBBIE WILLIAMS and ELTON JOHN who don’t, come in for a tongue lashing.
Noel said: “If I run out of milk, I go to the supermarket. And I queue up like everybody else.
“Can you imagine Elton John queuing up to by milk?
“The thing is - these stars like Robbie Williams and Elton John and all the rest of that lot - what are they afraid of?
“Are they actually afraid somebody might actually say hello to them in the street?
“There ain’t no axe-wielding celebrity murderers out there. It's not like that.
“It p*sses me off that they lock themselves off from humanity.
“And then you see these people on telly and you wonder why they're a**eholes.
“Cause they're surrounded by a**eholes who treat them like they're something special when they're not.
“Whereas the likes of me, when I want a taxi I queue up.”But it does not mean that Noel will always pause to speak to people.In fact he loathes signing autographs.
He added: “I don't give a f** about autographs. Just say no!
“I take great pleasure in that sometimes.
“People think they're slaves to their fans. No. People stop you in the street, sign this - no piss off!
“"Could you sign this, please?" No. "Why not?" Cause I'm not in the fu**ing mood, that's why. Dead simple.”
Noel - who has been described as “the wisest man in rock” is on great form.
He is celebrating a complete rebirth of Oasis since their last studio album Don’t Believe The Truth.
New bands like ARCTIC MONKEYS and KASABIAN honour him as the godfather of modern music.
It is now taken as a given that Oasis are the most influential British band of the last 20 years - probably since The Clash or Sex Pistols.And Noel is relishing his new-found status of the elder statesman during the 11th anniversary of his own band.
The former hellraiser has calmed down on all fronts - and relaxed into a life of quiet enjoyment.
He is blissfully happy with his girlfriend SARA MACDONALD - and refuses to do anything he doesn’t enjoy.
That includes making music when it
ON DIVA STARS
I go to the supermarket and I queue up like everybody else. Can you imagine Elton John queuing up to buy milk?doesn’t take his fancy.He explained: “In the early days if I wasn't writing songs I was in the studio recording songs. If I wasn't in the studio I was rehearsing. I was aggressively being creative. Cause I had goals to achieve. You won't get to be the biggest band in the world sitting on your arse watching telly all day.
“Soon as we were the biggest band in the world in 1996/7 I took the foot off the gas.
“You can keep re-inventing yourself, like U2 But then - look at the clothes they wear. It's not very graceful. So - I don't get up every day and go, right, pass me the guitar.
“I really do enjoy being lazy.
“Let me see what I've done this summer. I went to Ibiza for 6 weeks. I went to Miami for 2 weeks. World Cup. Moved house. Went to Republic of Ireland to visit my mother. Been to New York. I just get around. I enjoy doing nothing.”
When Oasis blew up in 1996 at the centre of Britpop they were linked in with the rise of the Labour government.
Noel was famously photographed attending a function at No10 Downing Street and shaking Tony Blair’s hand. It is an image he does NOT regret.
Noel recalled: “I don't feel any shame about that. The picture's a bit sh*t, cause I have a glass of champagne in my hand. And I was wearing a cheap suit, and that's not f**king like me. But I have no regrets about going.
"I was only in my twenties at the time, and I thought - "wants to meet ME? Well, f**ing bring it ON!" And I can't remember the mindset I was in. But looking back now I think I probably would have just been fascinated by it all.”
Noel is no fan of Blair - but he has an interesting take on the Iraq War.Soldiers come in for a bashing from him - for complaining about having to fight.
He continued: “Blair made an almighty cock-up about going to war in Iraq.
“But when people go on about that it's like they're suggesting that if anybody else had been in power they wouldn't have gone in with the Americans.
“Because after WW2 we always have sided with the Americans.“Don't think for one moment David Cameron wouldn't have sent the troops in, or the other guy from the Liberals.
“And another thing annoys me.
“You get a million people walking through Hyde Park, "don't send the troops", and all that.
“The troops they wanna go, all they want to do is fight! They're soldiers! They're lunatics!
They're loving it until they get shot - and then they're claiming compensation.
“If you're bothered about getting shot - here's a thing - don't join the Army!”
Despite calming down on the work front - and enjoying life more - one thing has not changed.
The relationship between Noel and his singing brother LIAM remains as strained as ever.
Noel continued: “The problem with our relationship is that he doesn't like me.
“And I'm indifferent to him. I'm not bothered what he does, I'm not bothered what he says, I'm not bothered about his music, his haircut or where he lives.
“I don't actively go out of my way to antagonise him. He does actively go out of his way to antagonise me.
“But I just keep out of his way. I can't be dealing with him, he's just a pain in the a**.
“He's got a split personality. He's either got a Messiah complex. When he looks in the mirror he sees the Messiah.
“Or he's got a Caesar complex. When he looks in the mirror he sees enemies everywhere.
“It's very difficult to deal with a person who thinks he's the centre of the universe one minute and the next minute everybody's out to get him.”
Luckily, despite their differences Oasis are around for the long-term.Noel has compiled the greatest hits to satisfy a contract with Sony Records.
But then the band will go it alone - and start a new album which they plan to release themselves on their label Big Brother.
Noel explained: “Record labels are places you go and borrow money to make records. We don't need to borrow money any more. That's basically it.
“Why take all that money off them, put it in your bank - and then when your record comes out, for every record sold you get 15 Pence. Why not just not take the money and when it comes out, and it sells for £ 15, you get £15 of it. That makes business sense to me.”
Noel hinted that a new studio album will be ready next year.
But for now there’s the compilation to look forward to.
Stop The Clock features 18 of Oasis’ best tunes - and will be released in the UK on November 20.

Oasis Songwriter Says Hits Not So Great
Rock icons Oasis release their greatest songs album on Tuesday capturing more than a decade of hits, but the band's main songwriter Noel Gallagher says his best-known tunes are not so great.
For many Oasis fans, three songs -- "Wonderwall," "Don't Look Back in Anger" and "Champagne Supernova" from the blockbuster hit 1995 album "(What's the Story) Morning Glory?" -- were the defining moment for the band.
For Gallagher, the album was overrated.
"Morning Glory, I don't think it's the best-sounding record we have ever done," Gallagher told Reuters in an interview. "Some of the songs are not as great as people think they are."
As for the notion that "Don't Look Back in Anger" and "Wonderwall" captured the spirit of optimism of the mid-1990s, Gallagher puts much of it down to timing.
"There was always going to be one defining British album that came out at that time, it just so happened we put ours out at the right time and the songs, being about hope and love, just struck a chord with people," Gallagher said.
"I don't much like 'Wonderwall,' but the effect that song has on people, I can't deny it," he said. "Great music is in the ear of the beholder."
"I still don't know who this chick Sally is," he said of the heroine of "Don't Look Back in Anger".
"I wrote the thing and I don't know what it means, but for some reason, for (fans) it means the world to them," he said
.
"All those lyrics, like 'Champagne Supernova' and that, they were just nonsense ... you can think about those lyrics for the next 500 years and they still won't mean anything."
"BIGGER THAN JESUS"
As Gallagher reviews the 18-song, 2-disc "Stop the Clocks" compilation, he says the band's first album "Definitely Maybe" from 1994 remains his best work.
"People are still hailing it as one of the greatest albums of all time," he said, calling it on a par with the seminal punk opus "Never Mind the Bollocks Here's the Sex Pistols".
Absent from the album, which includes some of the band's famed B-sides, is anything from their third effort, 1997's "Be Here Now", when the band came close to imploding under the weight of their own success and a blizzard of cocaine.
"As soon as you get involved in cocaine, it all goes out the window because you think that every note you play on the guitar is ... monumental," Gallagher said.
Now 39, Gallagher is more relaxed that at the height of his fame and drug abuse when he notoriously wished Blur frontman Damon Albarn death by AIDS before later apologizing.
"It's shallow," Gallagher said of the life of drugs he gave up in 1998 after a moment of clarity.
"Back in the day, I was prone to making sweeping statements," he said, adding that he has no real regrets. "It was a time for heroes, it wasn't a time for being reserved and concise about our success. We were ... bigger than Jesus."
Now having completed a six-album record deal with Sony Music, Gallagher says he has no plans because for the first time since 1994, Oasis are without a recording contract.
"It's quite a liberating feeling," he said. "I'm sitting back at the minute and saying, 'I couldn't be bothered, I've achieved everything I ever set out to achieve.'"
"But on the other hand, Oasis is such a fantastic thing, you could never walk away from it, ever," he said. "While you still have breath in your lungs and could still stand up and weren't bald, you couldn't walk away from this."

Three Bands In A Beatle Royale
A three-way clash between Oasis, The Beatles and U2 kicks off in today’s album charts.
It must be one of the biggest chart battles in pop history.
The supergroups all release greatest hits compilations today in an epic encounter that will go to the wire next Sunday when the official winner is crowned.
Oasis are releasing Stop The Clocks — a double album charting their hits over the past decade, with a bonus DVD.
The Beatles release Love, the soundtrack to the Vegas Cirque Du Soleil show of the same name with digitally reworked classics from their huge back catalogue.
And U2 are hoping for another chart-topper with singles collection U218, including the anthems I Still Haven’t Found What I'm Looking For, Pride (In The Name Of Love), New Year’s Day and Where The Streets Have No Name.
HMV spokesman Gennaro Castaldo said: “We’ve dubbed it Super Monday.”
In the past, Noel and Liam Gallagher have boasted they are the world’s biggest band.
The Beatles will always sell millions, and U2 are a huge global act too.
The Irish legends have released a formidable album and you can count on The Beatles to sell steadily over a long period.
But I reckon the Gallaghers will be the ones spraying a Champagne Supernova on Sunday.

Gallagher To Appear On The X Factor?
Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher is such a huge fan of The X Factor, he wants to make a guest appearance on the British talent show. The Wonderwall singer is set to follow in the footsteps of Rod Stewart and Tony Bennett by passing on his experience to the hopefuls vying for a recording contract. A show insider tells British newspaper the Daily Mirror, "Liam watches the show all the time and wants to come in for it. We're seeing what we can do."

Martin Confident Of Beatles Chart Success
Legendary British producer Sir George Martin is confident the new Beatles album will outsell Oasis' greatest hits compilation when both albums go head-to-head tomorrow (20NOV06).
Martin, who was the Fab Four's original producer, believes The Beatles' Love will triumph in the battle of the back catalogues. Love has been produced by Martin and his son Giles, and is the soundtrack to The Beatles-inspired Cirque du Soleil show of the same name, while Oasis' effort is an 18-track collection of the band's greatest hits.
Although full of praise for the Gallagher brothers, Martin believes Stop The Clocks can't match The Beatles new CD of experimental mixes.
He says, "I think the Gallaghers are very talented people. They are a very good group indeed, but not as good as The Beatles."
Martin and son made the disc after the surviving Beatles, Ringo Starr and Sir Paul MCCARTNEY, alongside John Lennon's widow Yoko Ono and George Harrison's widow Olivia, approached him to create a Beatles soundscape for the show, which debuted in Las Vegas, Nevada in June (06).

Oasis Signing Wrecked My Love Life
Gallagher: 'Oasis Signing Wrecked My Love Life'.... Rocker Noel Gallagher's delight when Oasis first signed to a record label was short-lived - when his then-girlfriend burst into tears because she knew it meant their relationship was over.
The Wonderwall band signed a deal with Creation Records in 1993 and it was only a matter of weeks before Gallagher left his native Manchester, in north-west England, for the bright lights of London.
He says, "I remember going home to Manchester after a meeting with (Creation boss) Alan McGee in London. I got into my flat about two in the morning and the girl I was living with at the time woke up.
"When I told her Oasis had a record deal she burst into tears... and they weren't tears of joy. I said, 'What's wrong with you?' And she said, 'You're gonna leave me now and move to London.' "I replied, 'Don't be stupid, babe.' But six weeks later I was off. I said, 'London's calling, I can't stay here, love. It's my destiny.' "So while McGee gave me a record deal, he temporarily ruined my love life".
