Double post, sorry.

oh finally, yay! Maybe they are still aiming for the album release this year. If they don't get #1, they can always say "Its Adele after all" :lol:

Is that what Nicky posted - secret mission? Anyway, I am so happy about that! I wonder if they will release the single on Friday since 17th is Sunday.

I don't know who told them to say this year will be their busiest, I didn't believe that one second. I wouldn't be surprised if they decide to release the album next year though but I kind of think they still might at least aim for December to take advantage of Christmas. Who knows, its all speculation at this point, time will tell.

I decided not to worry about it, whatever happens, happens. They did say they are making a music video though. Also, any tour announcement isn't really wise at the moment. I don't see the point of not releasing the album by the end of the year though, when it is finished and they are shooting a music video for the first single. But who knows, maybe they will for the first time release an album in the first quarter of the new year.

They mentioned a few times 3 months so I am hoping they will stick to November but who knows. I am pretty sure everything is set up though, its just that we don't know yet.

Didn't they have a pre-order when they announced Wembley gigs? Like you said, you have something to offer, I agree but they had that link too soon, hype was not that high by the time album was out. If they put a pre-order in October, that is perfectly fine. You worry too much, if the boys are at peace, we should be too😁

I am with myxxd, I think they will focus on the lead single and then the album. If that is the case, then it is not weird we haven't heard anything considering they aim for November release. I am sure the single will be out in a matter of weeks. As for pre-order, I thought it was a bit ridiculous that Spectrum had such a long pre-order period, that wasn't necessary.

Here is the full interview and the performance: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m000zvqf I am very interested to hear the album considering they say they were more involved thanks to the pandemic. Watch them release a great album thanks to their involvement haha! I mean, Mark is right, there is no way they would have ever been able to record it from mobile studio if this hasn't happened.

Read this on Twitter: Westlife talked to Zoe about their new album and new single ahead of their performance for Radio 2 Live. They say they were more involved with this album than they have been with previous albums in terms of songwriting, and say the new single is uptempo and will be released soon!

Westlife's set from Radio 2 Live in Belfast on BBC Red Button us available from Fri 10th Sept. It will be shown at different times throughout the day. It will also be available on BBC iPlayer. The highlights from the show can be heard on BBC Radio 2 at 8pm on Sat 11th Sept. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p09s4l2s

But you said it yourself, their 3 singles sold around million copies which isn't exactly amazing so I don't see the point. They will be squashed by streaming every time.

At this point I wouldn't be surprised if they release a single one or two weeks before the album in November which isn't a new thing for them, they've done it before.

I doubt it will be on TV because the poster says listen and stream. I hope they will have at least more than 1 single. I guess the label is not willing to tarnish the amazing chart run they had which I honestly always found ridiculous, they acted like being #5 is a tragedy when plenty of artists would kill to even be in Top.20. Times have changed and there is no way in hell Westlife can ever be #1 so no one should worry about single chart position.

I saw 1 tweet with a Westlife Radio 2 poster and on the bottom it says: Available from September 10th. I guess this means their gig wil be on the radio then right?

They released a photo that looks like they are making an announcement - hopefully they will share a video soon.

Mark will feature on Scott Alan's album on a song Don't Grow. It will be out on September 24th.

Nicky's Instagram post is funny. Its cool they managed to record everything separately and remotely.

The album is finished, Shane posted it.

From Westlife Twitter account: Sending our incredible fans some love today. Now we've reunited after all this time, we’ll be back with some exciting plans and announcements before you know it!

I guess they are showing their support to the people who are helping through this pandemic. Hello My Love is an odd choice to use it for that but then again, it was their latest popular single and I can't think of other song that would fit better anyway. But yeah, I guess they will release something soon, its a goo move to promo the new single on this upcoming Radio 2 event.

That would be great for Westlife but I kind of doubt it. Yes, its true many released music but many also didn't. I wasn't even expecting an album in 2020 pandemic or no, they said they won't overwork themselves with an album per year and that is perfectly ok.

I think Covid situation shouldn't be ignored, we shouldn't grasp at that sentence they haven't even said, it was their spokesman based on their, at the time, upcoming stadium gigs and even an American small tour. Plans obviously changed and I am not surprised at all. Besides, that was reported in March so only 4 months has passed in that 18 months cycle, maybe they are planning more which they haven't revealed yet. As for 2 years being inactive, its not their fault they couldn't tour last year and they released 3 singles from 2019 album, so its not like they could have one anything before the new album. They are making the album now and we will get it soon enough.

Shane posted a photo from the studio on his Instagram.

Oh yeah I mixed things up. I am just happy we are getting an album, I don't care much about anything else. They don't really owe us anything and a lot of people dealt with COVID differently so maybe they didn't feel like doing anything.
