Hmmm... Westlife never had an album selling 8 or 12 million worldwide. They´re not a worldwide act, they´re mainly a local act in UK/Ireland. They enjoyed some international sucess on their peak but not even in that short period they had a platinum album in USA, or a hugely certified album in Europe. Coast to Coast is only certified for 3 million in Europe. I´ts technically impossible that a Westlife album would sell more outside Europe then inside since 90% of their sales must be in Euro. If their total sales in UK are really 9 million, I somehow doubt that their worldwide figures can be twice as much. I really think they can have sold a maximum of 18 million albums worldwide.

Doesn't include Irish Saels where Westlife must have sold one million, in australia they must have sold over 350.000. Coast to coast sold 1.7, westlife 1.45, turnaround 0.75 and all the albums sold over this. Westlife sold over 9 millions in the UK + 1 million in Ireland. They have sold in Asia in China in Australia in Philippines, everywhere except America. Face to Face sold 1.4 in UK and ireland only. The sales in the whole Europe might have gone close to 2 millions plus copies sold in china taiwan, australia and new zealand.

 

WL definitely have sold a lot less than 30 mil worldwide, that's for sure. And i would'nt say 'They have sold in Asia in China in Australia in Philippines, everywhere except America. ' This is totally bull$h!t. Yes, they did sell a couple of mil in Asia when they were on peak( when Brian was still in the band) , but that's it. The real success they have is only in the UK and the tiny Ireland.

Well they are the biggest selling singles artist in the UK this decade -_-

As for albums **** knows.

comfortably

3.9 million stupid people :rolleyes:

Well probably more like 100 if you think of the multiple copies purchased by people currently occupying rooms at various psychiatric wards across Britain :smoke:

And I don't see how Wlife can challenge for a place in any countdown other than of British nature?

They don't release in either America or Japan - two of the biggest markets in the world.

Only two acts have ever sold over a million in Ireland. I don't think Westlife are one of them. It is the Corrs and U2 if I remeber correctly. They have sold less than 300k in Austrailia. As I've said those are based on official certificates. Westlife only sold big outside the UK/Ireland at their peak. None of their albums over the past few years have sold much outside the UK/Ireland.

The Only thing i know is that Westlife got 12 platinum for their debut album and 8 (until the end of 2005) for Face To Face.

 

Coast To Coast was their highest selling before the love album was released. So it must have got around 13-14 platinums with the love album getting around 14-15 maybe. Don't know if any1 knows more.

The idea of ANY Westlife album selling 12million is utterly ridiculous.

 

Let's not turn this into ANOTHER hate thread.

Charis get it in your thick little head of yours, Westlife hardly sell outside the uk, they could only ever dream of selling 37 million albums worldwide :lol:

Perhaps Shaky fan will know :unsure:

 

Is'nt The Love album their fastest selling though? Surely not their biggest selling already? :wacko:

 

Remeber platinum is very little in Ireland. I think it's only like 7k :lol:
