In 2012, renowned boy band Westlife released their Greatest Hits collection, delighting fans with the addition of four new songs to accompany their hit-heavy catalog of smash singles. This preceded the announcement of a new tour that generated such excitement that tickets sold out in a matter of minutes. The album debuted at No. 1 in Ireland and No. 4 in the UK, cementing Westlife’s long-running string of chart-topping studio successes. Westlife’s 2012 concerts in the UK and Ireland included back-to-back dates that sold 170,000 tickets over only two nights.
In 1999, the band released “Swear It Again,” which was their first number one single. More singles from their debut album, "Westlife," also topped the charts, including the double-sided single, “I Have a Dream/Seasons in the Sun,” which was the UK Christmas number one. Their string of successes continued with the release of their second album, "Coast to Coast," which included two more No. 1 singles, and before they were done, Westlife had set the record for the most consecutive No. 1 singles in the UK with seven chart-topping hits. Westlife continues to work in this chart-topping fashion, crafting singles and albums that touch audiences deeply and making their concerts and tours events that their fans anticipate with excitement. Westlife takes the mold of the boy band and breaks it. They lead rather than follow. They have sold over 50 million albums so far. Through 14 No. 1s and 26 top ten singles, it is clear that Nicky Byrne, Kian Egan, Mark Feehily and Shane Filan know how to live the Westlife.
