Westlife Leap Into Lead












Lads Set To Beat Beatles

Westlife are set to do the unthinkable and beat both The Beatles and Oasis to the No 1 spot.

No offence to the Oirish man-band, but I really didn't see that one coming.

In a swift turn-around of fortunes, Nicky Byrne, 27, Kian Egan, 26, and the other two have leapt from third spot in the album race with The Love album. They're a solid 5,000 sales ahead of Oasis with Stop The Clocks and have shifted nearly twice as many copies as The Beatles' Love.

The lads are currently in Australia, because like me, they are big down under. But using the telephone, I've managed to get hold of one of their camp.

I'm told: "They'll not talk to you yet Joe. The band have banned the subject until the final charts are released on Sunday. They're refusing to get excited about it yet, because it's so early in the week and there's sill a long way to go. "They're a superstitious lot and don't want to curse themselves by speaking too soon."

HMV fountain of knowledge Gennaro Castaldo said: "People might not have expected Westlife to match or even outsell such iconic bands as The Beatles and Oasis, but we shouldn't forget they have an incredibly dedicated fan base. "It's going to be nip and tuck."

Dangerous though it may seem at this stage, I'm going to get my manparts out and say Oasis will top the charts come the weekend.

Noel is currently the top lad in the Mott "rock stars who are actually sound" section. Fancy a meal with the missus mate?
