Damon Albarn has officially conceded defeat in the Britpop rivalry, acknowledging Oasis as the winners. He remarked on the earlier competition where their song "Country House" briefly topped charts over Oasis' "Roll with It." With the success of Oasis' reunion tour, Albarn expressed happiness in conceding the victory to them. He commented on the scale of Oasis' tour, indicating his admiration for their stamina, while noting that he prefers different projects now, such as his work with Africa Express. He holds no resentment towards other Britpop reunions.
"Well, it was obvious, wasn't it? I think we can officially say that Oasis won the battle, the war, the campaign, everything."
"They are the winners. They take first place. In the face of such overwhelming evidence, I am happy to accept and concede defeat."
"I couldn't do as many gigs as they're doing. That's a lot of the same emotion. They're very brave and I hope it's worth it. You know, money isn't everything."
"God bless them as well. God bless everybody!"
