Oasis vs Westlife Latest












Bookies close the books

25 Nov 06 - It's official - Oasis are being trounced in their chart battle against Westlife.

Bookies are now taking no further bets on anyone other than the Irish boyband topping the album charts tomorrow as sales of their The Love Album are now 20,000 ahead of the Oasis best of Stop The Clocks.

Monday also saw the The Beatles Love album, and U2's U218 .

However, HMV spokesman Genarro Castaldo said the bookies may have been a bit hasty in their decision as Saturday is traditionally the strongest day of the week for sales - so it could all change at the last minute.

And he had these words of comfort for Oasis - whatever the outcome tomorrow.

He said: "There’s no dishonour losing out to Westlife. These guys, whatever people think, have had 14 UK Number One singles. If this album goes to the top, that’ll be their sixth UK Number One album. They are up there with the best in of them in terms of chart success.”
