Noel Gallagher has slammed those who find their music in the charts.

Criticising the current state of the music industry the former Oasis member claims that artists at the top of the current chart are "sh*t" and "all the f**king same".

Speaking to NME magazine he said: "Bands now go cap-in-hand to the industry and the industry has already decided what it wants for the f**king chart stars.

"But the charts are all the f**king same. Every single song in the Top 10 is the same s**t with a different voice."

The musician's positive that if Oasis were to have started out their career today, they wouldn't have been as successful because artists aren't given enough control.

He also alleged that BBC Radio 1 judge musicians based on their social media following.

"If Oasis were starting tomorrow we would have nowhere near the impact, because you're judged instantly on your first gig, and then Radio 1 will judge you on how many f**king followers you've got on Facebook.

"Oasis never had an A&R at Creation - we were given the f**king keys to the kingdom and they went, 'Off you go, see you in a bit'.

"Now, the manager is accountable to the A&R guy, who's accountable to the guy above him, who's gonna lose his f**king job."
