September 8, 200618 yr I don't think i have ever heard an Enya song in my life :o Is their a thread anywhere? Press my sig and vote for a forum. :wub: There is a thread in the Singer Songwriter forum somewhere too.
September 9, 200618 yr i am nnoyed cause everyone here says robbie is big and his albums sell .... worldwide which is not true His albums sell well almost everywhere, except north america. Westlife is NOTHING outside UK/Eire, and a few more countries. Intensive Care sold 5 million in Europe alone. Westlife´s last album sold just 1.5 million. He´s not only bigger then Westlife, but MUCH bigger.
September 9, 200618 yr OK, after some research I have found the following: Westlife around the world: The numbers speak for themselves. Westlife is a true global pop phenomenon. 35 million copies worldwide (7 million in the UK alone) including... 5 million copies of "Westlife" (1999) sold. 12 million copies of "Coast to Coast" (2000) sold. 5 million copies of "World of Our Own" (2001) sold thus far. Source Our own Robbie forum mod Scotty has assured me Robbie Williams has sold a total of 45 million albums worldwide, including 15 million in the UK. Everything I find seems to back this up, if not inflate the numbers a little -_- So while Westlife's numbers are a LOT higher than I would've thought, Robbie is still bigger worldwide. Sorted ^_^ Well, can I say this is so fake it PAINS MY HEAD??? How on earth would Coast to coast have sold 12 million, everyone know that is BULL$h!t. Plus, it´s WIKIPEDIA folks. Albums who sold around 12 million worldwide: No Angel (Dido), Let Go (Avril), Laundry Service (Shakira), now compare the sales of these ones I mentioned to Coast to Coast - the only place it did better is a few insignificant Asian countries. Westlife were never a big global albums seller, end of story. Coast to Coast sold 3 million in Europe, HOW ON EARTH would it have sold 9 million in the rest of the world??? The 35 million albums number is $h!t. If you add the singles sales there, IF LUCKY, it will come close to that. Westlife albums sell an average 1 million copies in UK and 1 million in the rest of the world, some sell more, some sell less, but this is the average. There are some albums like Allow Us To Be Frank and the last one which probably didn´t even sold 500k outside the UK, so GET REAL.

Calm down please, those figures have already been confirmed as incorrect earlier in the thread. And who exactly are you having a go at anyway? The owner of that site site, or me for posting them?
September 9, 200618 yr "Westlife" 4x platinum in the UK 12x platinum in Ireland 5x platinum in Malaysia 3x platinum in the Philippines 1x platinum in the Middle East 2x platinum in New Zealand, etc. You get the point. Yes, I get the point. Sucess only in UK, and small markets. 12x platinum in Ireland is less then a half of what it takes to be gold in USA. "Coast to Coast" 7x platinum - 2 million copies sold in the UK This success has been repeated in 25 countries with an astonishing total of 52 platinum awards . 2 million in UK? It would need to sell 10 million in the rest of the world to make up for the 12 million. What a joke. The album was not even sucessful in most countries. "World of Our Own" 4x platinum in the UK projected worldwide sales of 10 million. Only if projected in your dreams. This one sold even less the Coast to Coast, which probably didn´t sell 5 million worldwide.
September 9, 200618 yr Obviously not after 3 weeks :rolleyes: His last album sold 375k on the first week, Westlife sold over 200k less :D Only 100 and something k -_- No, it sold more then 200k and took Robbie´s # 1, it was release 1 week later then IC.
September 9, 200618 yr FFS! Just realise that Westlife are $h!te and your figures are complete bull$h!t!

September 9, 200618 yr Shakira fan? :unsure: What the hell are you on about? :lol: This topic is confusing me :( Who's idea was it to keep this open? <_< FFS! Just realise that Westlife are $h!te and your figures are complete bull$h!t! ^ He is a Shakira fan isnt he? :unsure: I think the topic should stay open, Scotty LOVES a good debate :smoke:
September 9, 200618 yr ^ He is a Shakira fan isnt he? :unsure: I never thought of that :lol: :doh: And the topic will stay open because the powers that be want it open, however any discussion that edges too close to becoming an argument will not be tolerated. It is possible to be correct AND mature -_-
