A THREE-WAY clash between OASIS, THE BEATLES and U2 kicks off in today’s album charts. 
It must be one of the biggest chart battles in pop history.
The supergroups all release greatest hits compilations today in an epic encounter that will go to the wire next Sunday when the official winner is crowned.
Oasis are releasing Stop The Clocks — a double album charting their hits over the past decade, with a bonus DVD.
The Beatles release Love, the soundtrack to the Vegas Cirque Du Soleil show of the same name with digitally reworked classics from their huge back catalogue.
And U2 are hoping for another chart-topper with singles collection U218, including the anthems I Still Haven’t Found What I'm Looking For, Pride (In The Name Of Love), New Year’s Day and Where The Streets Have No Name.
HMV spokesman Gennaro Castaldo said: “We’ve dubbed it Super Monday.”
In the past, NOEL and LIAM GALLAGHER have boasted they are the world’s biggest band.
The Beatles will always sell millions, and U2 are a huge global act too.
The Irish legends have released a formidable album and you can count on The Beatles to sell steadily over a long period.
But I reckon the Gallaghers will be the ones spraying a Champagne Supernova on Sunday.
