14 :) but yes back in the day the number ones stayed there for just 1 or a few weeks and not like today and you didn't need to have a million sales to get 1. :)

They might eventually get one in the next couple of years with Uptown Girl.... They were on their peak on a different era, before the streaming so it's only fair not to have many million selling singles. They also must be close to 10 million singles in the UK alone which is a fantastic achievement as well. They must be close to 13.5 million albums as well, as well which makes them above 23 million CD's in the UK alone, comfortably 25 Million records including the DVD's.

It's still needs some streams.. I find it really strange Westlife don't release/promote another version of this song a remix or a live version to expose themselves more into this streaming era. Anyway My Love is the next one to be certified Gold long before World Of Our Own, so let's see it should be close.

Westlife just received Gold certification for If I Let You Go and Queen Of My Heart. Strange that My Love is still Silver, one of their most famous hits. It will follow very soon though, so UK fans stream it a bit in spotify and youtube :)

Calm down. They are a lot more fresh than they were the years 2006 - 2012 you need to admit that, if you have been on the Tour. I was there last night and I was really excited from 1st minute to last. All those colours and everything was just amazing. Yes there could be some improvements or new songs, but a new album is on the way so it's gonna happen for sure. PS: I am tired of Uptown Girl as well.... Is it just me?

Usually Louis is overhighliting the things, generally speaking :)

if he said only 6 are massive hits then probably the album is mediocre...

Is it possible that Hello My Love approached 500.000 world wide?

i thought new single will be out in Aug / Sept...

you all understand that its kind of pointless to expect millions of streams on first day for a song that is not out of the ordinary, right?

So eventually we made it! Hello My Love is now silver!!! Jay you have sales as of today?

less than 100k

not terrible but it's nice.... Since its ed ft bieber its gna be a hit while this song would be a decent top 20 hit if any other artist had releassed it.

never thought its still selling more than 5.000 per week... would be still charting in if was not on ACR....

Thank you very much!! give us a heads up when we get to 200.000 :)

Hi Jay, can you please tell us the total sales of Hello My Love as of today? Also, if you don't mind please share the Better Man sales, they should be around 30.000 :)

Jay can you tell us the total sales of Hello My Love as of today, 26th April. It had a minor push after Mr Brown.... It must be around 185-190k, not sure how close to silver we are...

feels like the same recording but with different instruments... thats the way its supposed to be for acoustic versions? :P

sales for #50?

I would say (almost) the same thing even if a woman was doing a similar video... But yes if that makes a point, I find it strange for a man to pretend like a lady, and adding all those strange stuff in a video which is supposed to be watched by everyone. It's ok to be gay there is no need to provoke.

no offence here, Will young looks like an interesting person and his new song is a good pop modern song, but the music video is terrible and sucks....

Take That comeback was in different terms. They had a really good and strong song, but it was pushed by media and x factor a lot and was released in an era that not only streaming was out of the picture but even downloads weren't having that much of impact. Also they came in to compete with some acts who were in the scene for years, westlife, leona, robbie williams, eminem.. The rest of the US imported artists didn't have any power with no streaming. Consider also that Take That are british while WL are irish, so the push and the attention is totally different, the same way Westlife are superior in Ireland and I assum North Ireland.

no i am talking about total sales as of now :)

Total sales of Better Man (including streams) at 20.000... Challenging Lighthouse for least successful single of the band... On the other side Hello My Love reached 178k units in the UK :)

unfortunately their debut album under-performed in charts and stopped at #2, otherwise we would be talking for 4 decades now....
