The chart battle to end all chart battles came down to wire.
The tussle between Oasis and Westlife was close, with the Gallagher brothers' Stop The Clocks collection benefiting from a last minute surge in sales.
Alas, it was too little too late, and Westlife's Love Album triumphed - landing the quartet their sixth No 1 album.
It was nail-bitingly close, though, with Liam and Noel missing out by only 5,000 copies.
The Love Album posted 219,000 sales, Stop The Clocks 213,000 and The Beatles' Love collection 173,500.
