Whensday - Blur beat Oasis?
Sunday 20th August 1995

John Major was in his fifth year of boss-dom ... Blackburn Rovers were Premiership Champions who lost to Everton in the Charity Shield ... Simon Cowell was rehearsing the five yound girls he'd recruited to become Britain's next supergroup ... J. Marshall Howard was the 90 year old American billionaire with a fortune of £2,555 million, in his will he left his busty 27 year old wife Anna Nicole Smith the princely sum of ... nuffink!

In Britain's biggest chart battle since The Beatles vs The Stones, Blur came out on top by 75,000 copies - the battle continued with Oasis contending that Blur had released 7" and two CD's whereas Oasis had just the one crop of songs, This is perhaps put in perspective with Sophie Ellis Bexter vs Victoria 'Posh Spice' Beckham where both girls sold over 200,000 copies.
