Formed in 1988, Blur is considered one of the Big Four of Britpop alongside Suede's, Oasis, and Pulp. On August 14, 1995, Blur and Oasis began "The Battle of Britpop" by simultaneously releasing a single on the same day to see which would sell more copies. Blur won with "Country House" selling 58,000 more copies than Oasis's "Roll With It." During the late '90s, Blur began experimenting with new sounds and embraced a more distinctive post-grunge sound. In 1997, the band released the single "Song 2," which quickly became a '90s alt-rock classic within the US and UK. Blur went on hiatus in 2004 but reunited in 2008, releasing its eighth studio album "The Magic Whip" in 2015. Blur went on hiatus a second time in 2016 but reunited again in 2023.
