We need your help ... buy Oasis album today

 

November 22, 2006

 

LENNON, McCARTNEY, GALLAGHER, BONO, THE EDGE.

 

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.

Boy bland ... the Westlife hits machine must be stopped

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.â€

 

Do your bit, Bizarre readers — buy Stop The Clocks and do your bit to Stop The C*cks.

Maybe it the fact that the Westlife album is the only one with new recordings on it out of the four. Fans will already own all the material on the other three albums.

I hardly call covering a load of old love songs 'new recordings'

Well it is, like it or not. Note i said "new recordings" not "new songs".

LOL at the Sun.

Perhaps they own the originals. ;)

 

Really funny article, especially this bit.

The Beatles album is worth buying to hear the fantastic remixing and updates to the sounds of these songs that George Martin has done... some of the songs sound vastly different... but in a good way.

 

Then there's the lovely digipack limited edition of the Oasis album.... well worth getting for a few quid extra.

 

I say ban all housewives from buying CDs... GPs all over the country should up these sad middle aged women's Prozac intake to ensure they won't even be able to make it out of the house this week nevermind trot off to Tescos to but the Westlife album, sad cows.

Perhaps they own the originals. ;)
