Biography

Westlife were an Irish boy band, formed in July 1998 and disbanded in June 2012. Originally signed by Simon Cowell and managed by Louis Walsh, the group's final line-up consisted of Nicky Byrne, Kian Egan, Mark Feehily, and Shane Filan. Brian McFadden was a member from July 1998 until his departure in March 2004.

 

Westlife sold over 50 million records worldwide, a total that included studio albums, singles, video releases, and compilation albums. The group accumulated 14 number-one singles in the United Kingdom. They achieved a total of 26 UK top ten singles over their 14-year career. In 2012, the Official Charts Company listed Westlife 34th amongst the biggest-selling singles artists in British music history. Despite their success worldwide, Westlife never managed to break into the U.S. market, achieving only one hit single in 2000, "Swear It Again".

worst we had so far

YES. Love a bit of Westlife :wub:

amazing... NOT :D

lamfoo at Westlife's drop :rofl: I hope they split up in a few years time.

This sounds older than 2006~

This is such an 'I Want It That Way' rip-off! Not really essential Westlife.

And here we have Westbackstreet Lifeboys :lol:

I'd be happy to see some rock but on first listen, Waste A Moment is hardly the best done of the genre. Lol to see some Busted alumni hanging around.

 

And I'd forgotten going back to the mid-00s meant we'd probably get these WRETCHES. Be-gone with you, Wetflies.

these pestlife singles just bleed into one another~ :nocheer: :puke:

Omg a underrated Westlife jam :cheer: :music:

#27

 

We already have had the first American Idol's winner and now here is the very first British Pop Idol winner… Clue: Gareth Gates came second with 46.9% of the votes :)

 

Are you sure this isn't the Backstreet Boys????????? The similarity is uncanny.

Biography

William Robert "Will" Young (born 20 January 1979) is an English singer-songwriter and actor who came to prominence after winning the 2002 inaugural series of the British music contest Pop Idol, making him the first winner of the worldwide Idol franchise. His double A-sided debut single "Evergreen/Anything is possible" was released two weeks after the show's finale and became the fastest-selling debut single in the UK. Young also came in fifth place in World Idol performing his single "Light My Fire".

 

As a teenager, Young studied politics at the University of Exeter before moving to London, where he studied musical theatre at Arts Educational School. Young put his studies on hold in late 2001 to become a contestant on Pop Idol. After winning the competition the following year, he released his debut album From Now On (2002) which went straight to number one. Friday's Child (2003) followed and enjoyed greater success, eventually going platinum five times in the UK and spawning three top five singles. His following albums Keep On (2005) and Let It Go (2008) and Echoes (2011) also went multi-platinum and his most recent release 85% Proof (2015) became his fourth UK number-one album. His albums have spawned many songs that have accomplished top ten positions in the UK, four of which went to the number one spot. Young has also undertaken numerous concert tours. He has also accumulated multiple honours, including two BRIT Awards from 12 nominations, and the estimated worldwide sale of over eight million albums. Young's net worth was estimated at £13.5 million in April 2012.

 

Alongside his music career, Young has acted in film, on stage and in television. For his performance in the 2013 London revival of the musical Cabaret, he was nominated for the Laurence Olivier Award for Best Actor in a Musical. He has also participated in philanthropy and released books Anything is Possible (2002), On Camera, Off Duty (2004) and his autobiography Funny Peculiar (2012). - Wikipedia

Wouldn't be the mid 00s without random landfill indie entries and frontloaded Westlife entries :') Amazing is actually quite a guilty pleasure oops

after the horrible Westlife song... a 0/10 for me

 

finally another great song, another 10/10 for me, Will Young at his best, my fav of his even better than Leave Right Now

this should have been a #1, probably it would have if released as lead single before Xmas...

First time I listen to this too. Will Young has improved his sound greatly since...

Will Young had a few good songs. This is definitely not one of them, so boring and forgettable. :(

I don't mind stuff from people like Westlife/Will Young, but only a couple of them. Don't mind the Westlife one here though :D
