Hello My Love is their most successful single digitally to date and in Westlife downloads history. Last time was What About Now but only charted locally and never went to #1, it was blocked by Fight For This Love by Cheryl. Hello My Love was #1 on Ireland Digital Song Sales and charted in Denmark, Sweden, Scotland, UK.

 

Hello My Love will very soon cross the 100.000 sales mark (including streams)despite failing to reach the peak position it was capable of, which is a promising result... Who would have thought?

and they have risen to #91 on Spotify. What was their peak on Apple Music? the last time I checked they were at #14

UK Sales as of now distributed per week:

 

5,137

20,675

~14,000

16,407

~15,500

 

Total by Thursday, February 7th: ~71,000-72,000

#22 last week? and there were two new entries on the top 20. I consider it as another top 20 week for them because of it.

it is a hit after all..... should have been a top 10 or top 5 in my opinion should it had a peak week, but it didn't actually.

their highest charting single What About Now for about ten years never had this kind of treatment. I don't remember exactly but I don't think it stayed inside the top 40 that long like most of their top singles. I will check about it later.

 

Yes, I'd like to know that too about these UK sales you posted Charis as wasn't it reported they sold 10,441 in the first week? This doesn't sound correct then.

 

Pretty incredible their chart run so far in a streaming/R&B dominated chart has been 13-29-20-22.

 

Especially compared to their last 2 singles which benefitted from physicals etc., (Safe 10-21-43-65-96 and Lighthouse 32-89).

20,675 first week. 10,441 was only its streaming units for that week.

Ah right, I mixed the info up. That is indeed very consistent, I doubt anyone expected this result. In the end it really doesn't matter they missed Top 10 on the first week because many of their top hits didn't have longevity in the charts, they often dropped out of Top 40 very quickly.

this is from me. i took data from each week and summarized :)

#16 in today's update.... Amazing!! if it return to top 20 this week it's gna be spectacular!

It will likely drop through the week but Top 30 looks secure.

The remixes have really helped the song to remain stable.

Fantastic result - week 5 into its chart life and still holding up well, even when streams are factored in and it drops 5 weeks in the Top 30 is FAR more than anyone expected.

It has exceeded expectations already and everything going forward is a bonus.

It will likely drop through the week but Top 30 looks secure.

The remixes have really helped the song to remain stable.

There's only one remix (unless you're counting the acoustic too) and it's not done particularly well tbh! The midweek position is mainly due to the normal version holding up well, in fact this week looks set to be the song's strongest streaming week so far.
