NME have announced the tracklisting for their '1 Love' album (if ya haven’t already heard, it’s an album of current artists covering their supposed favourite chart topping song ever. Apparently, Oasis now prefer Slade hits to Beatles hits. Or else it was easier to get recording permission off Slade), and profits will be going to the War Child charity.
