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:

And of course we'd have the few Westlife stans in the thread too :lol:

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.

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.

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

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

!!!!

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.
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.

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!

I don't think there ever was. 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.
