British rocker NOEL GALLAGHER is convinced the music industry has become more complicated in recent years as he now struggles to understand the modern chart system.
The former Oasis star can’t work out why digital singles have a different release date to physical copies, and insists the new way of logging sales is overly confusing.
He tells Britain’s NME, "It’s f**ked now. Some of us are old enough to remember (British chart TV shows) Top Of The Pops and The Chart Show. If you headlined Top Of The Pops you were f**king number one and the world was alright and everyone knew their place.
"The charts are insane at the moment, the way people sell music is insane. (My new single) is out, but it’s not actually out. You can buy it but you can’t buy it. It’s at Number 20 in the charts but it’s not actually been released. I don’t understand why. (Someone told me) ‘We release it two weeks after its been released now’. Well, who is ‘we’? And why do ‘we’ do that? It doesn’t make any sense to me."

Pop star-turned-TV personality NICK LACHEY has mixed emotions about his honeymoon, because the Necker Island retreat he jetted his bride VANESSA MINNILLO off to after their July (11) wedding was burned down three weeks later.
The former 98 Degrees star had the perfect post-wedding getaway on Richard Branson’s holiday isle and was left speechless when he read about the fire that destroyed the main house less than a month later.
He says, "About three weeks after it was struck by lightning and the main house burned down.
"It’s kinda sad to look back and see these pictures but at least we have the memories we had… and I’m sure he’ll (Branson) rebuild it and it will be bigger and better than ever. That’s just his mindset."

Rock band THE ACADEMY IS have split after eight years together.
The punk group, which was once signed to Fall Out Boy rocker Pete Wentz’s record label Decaydance, released three albums, beginning in 2005 with Almost Here.
Releasing a statement to announce the news via NME.com, frontman William Beckett writes, "I’m having a hard time starting this. I could say something like ‘pride comes before the fall’, or ‘the skill in attending a party is knowing when to leave’. Rather, I’m going to just come right out and be honest. The September (11) show in New York was the last show for The Academy Is. While this is a very difficult decision to make, I believe in my heart that it is the right decision to make.
"For years there has a been a growing distance felt within the band as we’ve progressed, both geographically and artistically and instead of trying to patch the holes that we’re left with, my heart tells me its time to move on with the next chapter of our lives. I want to thank the fans, the world’s greatest, for all of your love and support." Beckett intends on staying in the music business, adding, "While this is the end of 8 unforgettable years of The Academy Is… this is not the end of my story. Not by a long shot. I will be working on a new record in the coming months and have never felt more freedom and inspiration to create my best and most honest work yet."

The Hollywood actor is due to star as late Mafia boss John Gotti, who died in prison in 2002, in upcoming movie Gotti: In the Shadow of My Father, alongside his real-life wife Kelly Preston and Al Pacino.
Filming is slated to begin in January (12) ahead of a 2012 release date, but a new report suggests production has been put on hold.
Showbiz411.com reports work on the project has come to a halt and won’t resume until more financing is secured.
A source tells the website, "If (producer) Marc Fiore doesn’t come up with money this week, and doesn’t show that more is coming, and that he’s really secured financing, it could all fall apart." The film’s producers are also facing a legal battle with Goodfellas star Joe Pesci, who is suing bosses at Fiore Films over allegations he was offered a $3 million (£2 million) deal to play Angelo Ruggiero, an associate of Gotti, but was later told he would be given a smaller part.

HUGH JACKMAN will always regret turning down an opportunity to invest in his beloved British soccer club, because the team went on a winning run after he rejected the deal.
The Australian’s actor’s mother lives in Norwich, England and he has become a fan of Norwich City Football Club over the years, even visiting the team’s home ground, Carrow Road.
He was offered the chance to become a part-owner of the club a year ago, but turned the offer down.
The team subsequently won a promotion which elevated them to playing in England’s top league, and Jackman admits he should have accepted the deal.
He tells BBC Radio Five Live, "Sometimes I make big mistakes. I got a letter about a year ago saying, ‘Being such a huge Norwich City fan would I like to be a celebrity investor?’, like a small part-owner. I said, ‘I think that’s a little stretched, I’ve been to Carrow Road once, my mum took me’, so I decided not to invest. And since then they’re on a run, so what do I know? "People say to me about these underdog stories in Hollywood, ‘It never happens in real life’, but hey, Norwich City are in the Premier League."

GIRLS ALOUD star KIMBERLEY WALSH has blasted rumours NADINE COYLE has left the band, insisting a recent group photograph without her was taken "on the spur of the moment".
The Love Machine hitmakers, who are currently on hiatus, sparked speculation they had shed Coyle and become a four-piece after posting a photo on Twitter.com featuring just Walsh, Cheryl Cole, Nicola Roberts, and Sarah Harding, with the title, ‘Girls night in’.
But Walsh has now spoken out to reveal the snap was an informal photo and insist there is "no mystery" over Coyle’s absence.
She tells Fabulous magazine, "That was taken at my house. We all got together like we do every few months. Sadly, Nadine couldn’t be with us because she was in the States, but we did miss her.
"There was no mystery about the picture, we just did it on the spur of the moment. We all hid our faces because we were all looking a bit spotty and we’d had a couple of bottles of wine. But we were having such a great time being together that we just wanted to share the moment with our fans. We’re all talking about the reunion, maybe for next year."
