Noel Gallagher's latest album release, 'High Flying Birds' sold more than 120,000 copies in its first week securing the record a slot at the top of the album chart.
And with it, Noel pushed last year's 'X Factor' winner Matt Cardle and his debut album, 'Letters' into second position. *EEK*
At the Q Awards earlier today the former Oasis star told us: "When we found out that Matt Cardle's album was out the same day as mine there was a collective sigh. It's the 'X Factor' and there are a lot of crazy school girls who like to buy a lot of records for some reason.'
But what omg! really wanted to know was how it felt to beat off the competition from such a high profile artist:
"It didn't make me feel any greater or more special than I did before I was told it was number one. I like the record, other people liked the record and that was that."
We think Noel is being far too modest about his achievements, although he appeared pretty humble after receiving his Q Award today.
"Usually awards are given by journalists and it's nice to go to these awards but ones that are voted for by the people, they're the most important ones," Noel told us. *NODS HEAD IN AGREEMENT*
"It's like the charts, you don't have to be at the top of it but I wouldn't object to being there and picking something up."
