Oasis Win Big at the 1997 Q Awards
Oasis won the award for "Best Act In The World
Today" at the 1997 Q Awards yesterday (4 November) at the Park Lane Hotel,
London, England.
One of the categories voted for by Q's readers
and one that proved the 'Oasis are in decline' rumours may be somewhat
premature.
The voting for this one was "As close as the
General Election" so they seem pretty secure for the present.
Last year, memorably, the brothers Gallagher
were both at the ceremony. This year they were in France but sent a video
message
along the lines of "We won this last year
and thought we deserved it then. We've won it this year and still think
we deserve it". There
was much not entirely coherent talk of Q and
the alphabet which seemed to suggest that the band don't need to be at
an event to get
into the spirit of it. Liam signed off with
"I hope you have a top day and all go and get arrested." Only time will
tell...

Don't Look Back In Anger Straight In At Number
1
Don't Look Back In Anger, the UK single released
just last week, stormed into the official Radio 1 charts at number #1.
This makes it
Oasis' second UK number one after Some Might
Say last year. Roll With It and Wonderwall both only reached the number
#2
position.
Sales were undoubtedly helped by Liam's 'bratish'
performance at the Brit awards last week and by the awards the band won,
although it's likely Don't Look Back In Anger
would have made it to the top anyway.
This caps a great week for Oasis, as (What's
The Story) Morning Glory? held the number #1 album spot, and Definitely
Maybe
returned to the British top ten.
