More on Westlife
Description from Wikipedia:
Westlife is an Irish pop band formed on July 3, 1998.
The group's original lineup comprised Bryan McFadden, Nicky Byrne, Kian Egan, Mark Feehily, and Shane Filan.To 2008, Westlife have had 14 UK number ones and they were the first act in British history to have four number one singles in a year. The band is also the only act in UK history to have their first seven singles go straight in at Number 1, and they have gone on to sell over 40 million albums worldwide.
They were signed on by Simon Cowell and are currently managed by Louis Walsh. In 2008, they were declared as Ireland's 9th richest celebrities under 30 years old and 13th in general. They garnered 14 number one singles in the United Kingdom, the third-highest in UK history, tying with Cliff Richard and trailing behind only Elvis Presley and The Beatles. The band has also won numerous awards such as the "Best Irish Pop Act" at the annual Ireland Meteor Awards and ITV "Record of the Year" award in the UK. The band has also broken a few top records, including "Music artist with most consecutive number 1's in the UK" and the "Biggest selling arena act in the UK".
Over years of their career, Westlife's music has evolved from teen pop to a pop sound, with an emphasis on ballads. All of the band members are songwriters, although most of their hits have been composed by external writers, most prominently Steve Mac and Wayne Hector.
On July 3rd 2008, Westlife marked their 10th anniversary with a spectacular concert in Croke Park, Dublin which saw more than 82,000 fans attending the special occasion.
In 2009, a poll from a highly rated newspaper in the UK saw Westlife rated the second biggest musical band ever in the UK with 39% of the vote. They were beaten, just, by the 60s band The Beatles who scored 46% of the vote. ==History==
