I’M delighted to report the Mancunian army is sticking together in the OASIS vs WESTLIFE album chart war.
Fellow Manc GARY BARLOW has stepped forward to defend the honour of NOEL and LIAM GALLAGHER.
After SIR ELTON JOHN waded in yesterday in support of the cheesy Irish crooners, I called upon Modfather PAUL WELLER to sort out this mess.
Sadly the rock god failed to do so — perhaps he hadn’t read the paper after a heavy night of showbiz behaviour.
But fear not, that fine songwriter Gary rallied to the cause.
I caught up with the TAKE THAT star as the band performed material from new album Beautiful World at an exclusive Radio 2 session at London’s Abbey Road studios.
The usually mild-mannered Gary told me: “I just don’t get the whole Westlife thing. I don’t understand who would go out and buy their records.
“I haven’t got it and I won’t be buying it, but I have got the Oasis album. I’m definitely backing Oasis over them — I thought Oasis would storm it to No1 with their best of.”
Latest midweek sales figures show Westlife’s Love album has now sold 129,000 copies compared to Oasis’ Stop The Clocks on 114,000.

called on Bizarre readers to go out in their thousands and buy the Oasis CD to help Stop The C*cks and prevent a serious miscarriage of justice in the pop charts.
While many Westlife devotees disagree, I’m glad Gary, MARK OWEN, HOWARD, DONALD and JASON ORANGE have got taste.
Mark told me: “I love Oasis, I think their songs are great.”While some will argue Take That are just a cheesy boyband like Westlife, I think there’s a huge difference — Gary wrote most of their original hits.
I was lucky enough to hear the new songs the band have written for Beautiful World and some of them are instant pop classics.
Their performance of new ballad I’d Wait For Life, with a small string orchestra, was jaw-dropping. You’ll be able to judge for yourself if you listen to the session, which will be broadcast on Radio 2 tomorrow at 8pm.
During Back For Good, Mark told the crowd: “If you are listening on the radio — we’re naked.”
Sadly, he was only joking.

GARY had bad and good words about old bandmate ROBBIE WILLIAMS. He said: “I didn’t like Rudebox at all but I really liked Lovelight.” Still a bit of rivalry there, then.
The lads revealed they will be performing on the final of The X Factor next month. Gary said: “It’s a big show with big ratings, so it’s a real honour to be asked.”
The lads have two signing sessions in HMV stores on Monday.They’ll be at London’s Oxford Street at 12.30pm, then they fly to Manchester and Market Street at 6.30pm.
HOWARD didn’t spend long at the aftershow party. He explained: “I was nervous before the show because I knew I had a big vocal performance. Now I’m exhausted.”
MARK couldn’t stop gushing about his three-month-old son, Elwood Jack. He said: “I love him to bits. It’s the best thing to have happened to me and my girlfriend Emma.”
