I don't think Blur were ever taking part
They just quietly got on with being better.

The media decided Blur won on the basis of the sales of one single,
despite Oasis having sold more records over the course of their career. Although Oasis were shit so it's not really an injustice.
I think the record industry insisted on releasing their records at the same time just to make it seem more exciting. Oasis might have been spoiling for a fight though, the dirty mancs, but Damon Albarn probably had to stay in and do his maths homework.
