August 20, 20195 yr One of the biggest quality gap jumps between a #1 and #2 single ever, how annoying that it was only hundreds of sales of a difference. If only Buzzjack was around then so we could see the outrage that would've happened at the time. :lol:

August 20, 20195 yr I don't think that Wasteoflife song is as bad as a lot of theirs, but Alice Deejay was cruelly and totally unfairly robbed here! I'd even say the same the following week too, although I don't know by how much 'Mi Chico Latino' beat it by. There was a pretty big gap the following week, Mi Chico Latino had around 132.5k and Better Off Alone 77k.
August 20, 20195 yr And of course we'd have the few Westlife stans in the thread too :lol:Also true. Imagine the Westlife vs Boyzone stan wars we would have got :drama:
August 20, 20195 yr Also true. Imagine the Westlife vs Boyzone stan wars we would have got :drama: Very true!! I think the site would have broken during Blur v Oasis too.
August 20, 20195 yr Very true!! I think the site would have broken during Blur v Oasis too. Spiller vs Victoria Beckham as well for sure!
August 20, 20195 yr was there really a Boyzone-Westlife war? cannot recall it cos they didn't coincide much in the charts and Ronan was even Boyzone's manager if I remember well both awful awful boybands
August 20, 20195 yr A frankly depressing time for the singles chart - 14 number 1s for Westlife remains the biggest chart manipulation that ever happened. You think Drake being at number 1 for weeks by default was annoying, try living through this era. That is why it was so deeply satisfying when their run was broken by Bob The Builder. Literally a hero. THIS! This disgustingly bad band had no business at no 1. Onr if the best dsnce songs EVER and it should have bren no.1 this week! Geri also deserved no.1 with another song of the summer

August 20, 20195 yr I don't know if there was but if stan twitter was around in 1999 it would've been more likely.
August 20, 20195 yr There wasn't really a battle between them. Boyzone were very much winding down and in the mature/MOR phase of their career with stuff like You Needed Me coming out when Westlife released their debut single. Westlife were targeting a younger audience, a lot of the girls at my school were obsessed with them (I was 12 at the time). They were almost a replacement for Boyzone, who were popular among my friends in like 1996/7, but not so much after No Matter What.
August 20, 20195 yr I meant Ronan was Westlife's manager, wasn't he? Ronan was a member of Boyzone, it was amusing to think he managed himself :lol: Louis Walsh managed them both, eventually Ronan joined him. Edited August 20, 20195 yr by coi
August 20, 20195 yr It doesnt matter really, its not like Westlife brought out the best songs ever.... Its more like the consistency on technical and personality level which maintain the loyalty on that level.... And yet they are still part of the EU. Most number ones by any EU act ever!

Boyzone were pretty much at the end of their run and just about to split a few months after Westlife came on the scene. If anything I'd say A1 would of been bigger competition for Westlife.

And also the worst most tasteless class by any EU act ever!!
