Oasis Say 'Coldplay Are Trying To Beat Our Record'

Sources close to Oasis are apparently suggesting that Coldplay are attempting to steal their album sales crown by releasing their forthcoming new album, 'Viva La Vida Or Death And All His Friends', on a Thursday.

Oasis released their third album, 'Be Here Now', on a Thursday (August 20) in 1997, and clocked up record 700,000 sales in three days. Coldplay's album will be out on Thursday June 12.

The Sun quotes an anonymous source close to Oasis as saying: "Some people reckon Coldplay have nicked their successful blueprint from 'Be Here Now' to try to break the record."

However, another anonymous source, this time from the Coldplay camp, is quoted as saying: "The band [Coldplay] decided to release the album on a Thursday to bring it in line with the rest of Europe. Oasis was never an influence."

Thanks for the info to NME.com.

Why do these two events have ANYTHING to do with each other? Next they are going to say that releasing an album on a thursday is in direct violation of the band Thursday...

[AVIDFANOFSOUNDS]

and any band name with the letter "A" in will be in direct violation of the band A

[elcapitan1800]

And dont forget that every band should pay copyright fees to The Band

[CapoThis]

its from "sources" who knows if its true i think even though noel sometimes picks on coldplay hes joking because he played with them once and mentions there first album as being a masterpiece

[rygun091]

This is clearly another load of media garbage in not naming "2 anonymous sources". totally made-up garbage.

[kryzay311]

That's a load of shit. Oasis are a bunch of immature pansies that

[kryzay311]

-that

[clasp]

oasis likes to think they're important

[9badarv]

isn't outselling like the way the industry works??

[strat0blaster]

All this assuming that Oasis are actually going to SELL any records on ANY day at this point.

[White_Fly_U2]

Oasis Say 'Coldplay Are Trying To Beat Our Record'

Seems the grammar is as good as the article.

[prsrulz91]

oasis needs 2 stop thinking that tehy are the best damn thing 2 happen 2 music since the Beatles...THEY'RE NOT!!!
so oasis, if u ever read this, go shove a fork up ur ass

[tommytomtomtom]

coldplay sucks who cares. oasis will own them haha

[roketsox23]

i dont even know how many bands might have released their albums on a thursday and ime not going to check. this is soooo stupid. oasis and coldplay both rock but if this isnt bullshit then oasis really is started to look like pricks. just my opinion.

[Lost_Rose]

Why do Oasis think that they are an important band?

They were back in the early 90's but now they are wannabes trying to get into the paper over anything. Hell Noel even had to make a comment on Glastonbury.

[black.current]

coldplay sucks so bad i listen to them everynight to help me fall asleep

[black.current]

noel kicks ass anyone who likes coldplay has too much time on their hands

It looks fine to me..? Oasis is comprised of more than one person, so it's essentially 'the people in Oasis say..." which is fine.

[sucay]

UG what a disappointment! yes im disappointed in you UG!

[richard-g3]

This is news? And oasis are an amazing band.

[Typhoon700]

The Sun quotes AN ANONYMOUS SOURCE CLOSE TO OASIS as saying: "Some people reckon Coldplay have nicked their successful blueprint from 'Be Here Now' to try to break the record."..

Where does it mention anything the Gallagher's themselves have said about this? I highly doubt they even care.

[skagitup]

Oasis are one of the greatest bands on earth - they can say what they like.

It is indeed. Referring to Oasis as a collective 'one person' if you will.

Why the hell does Oasis keep on making these speculations and lame comments? I don't understand. Who do they think they are? The best band on Earth? It's ridiculous. And they expect us fans to take pity on them.
I'm not saying Green Day is great or anything but they also complained Boulevard of Broken Dreams was ripped. The chances of another band stumbling upon the same chord progression as your song is normal. How many songs are there in the world?
