Charis

Thats exactly the thing. That wouldnt happen in a million years. All 3 songs were collaborations with some of the most famous artists/ DJs. I mean maybe i could even chart in xmas #1 if i collaborated with ladbaby

He just released another xmas single 2 weeks before the xmas chart and now he is colllaborating with what we call first favorite for xmas #1. U want to challenge choose one of the two sides, challenge them or side with them…. And seeing them reporting the millions of poor people and children in the video made me sick really, i thought he grossed 1 billion from divide tour

And yet some people were not saying ed is manipulating the charts

#7 at midweeks with sales 5k +

starlight top 75. in their last album they had 2 top 40.

We have westlife and a nice pop album at the moment

Anyone keeps a list eith bands with most certifications? I think Take That are one certification ahead of Westlife but i see that changing next couple of years if they remain active

corretions / additions: UPTOWN GIRL 1.116k FLYING WITHOUT WINGS [37 million streams] 801k YOU RAISE ME UP 786k Seasons in the Sun 100k old albums: 2 years ago: Westlife - Coast To Coast (#1, 2000) 1,725,393 Westlife - Unbreakable: The Greatest Hits Vol 1 (#1, 2002) 1,896,765 Total albums sales: 13,063,893 Total singles sales: 9,800,471 today: 1,943,550 Westlife - Unbreakable: The Greatest Hits Volume 1 [+47k] 1,752,607 Westlife - Coast to Coast [+27k] Total albums sales: 13,582,655 Total singles sales: 12,853,945 in the last 2 years they sold 519k albums and 3.05m singles. that is almost 3.5 m records in the UK only. So the 55 million record should be definitely outdated already. UK total for singles and albums is now 26.4m + ~1.5 DVD's = 28m records in the UK only. Lastly, in January 2019 I WANNA GROW OLD WITH YOU and I'LL SEE YOU AGAIN were higher than Seasons in the sun [100k] in their most streamed songs.

I am so obsessed with ‘ do you ever think of me ‘ i mean its been a long time since i lastly enjoyed an album track that much.

But i cant manage ti see this, do i need a premium user cause i dont have one and anyway it doesnt work for Me

Is there any list with the acts with the most certified songs ?

the interesting thing is that if they released the album last week it would already have #2 in the bag :P

if there are no much missing streams then Ed Sheeran could close 37-38k a number Westlife will beat I think by Friday.

1 Adele - 30 (75,199) [58,096 physical, 12,379 streaming, 4,724 downloads] 2 Westlife - Wild Dreams (35,005) [more than 31,000 physical] * 3 Ed Sheeran - = (26,348) 4 ABBA - Voyage (19,829) Tuesday Sum up: Adele 14.1k Westlife 2k Ed Sheeran 5.1k ABBA 4.2k Ed Sheeran still stable at 5.1k, for 2 more days that would be 10.3k + missing streams 2-3k (if any) = ~39.000 For Westlife it looks stable somewhere between 1.5k-2k for the rest of the 2 days = 4k = 39000. Fight is on, i think Westlife are a bit of favourites for keeping the #2

Songs like flying without wings cannot be callled garbage :P

if i googled correctly it has a capacity of 4k right? that would have to be too pricey..

Hello My Love and When your looking like that are 2 of them. i am wondering which are the next 3 [i WANNA GROW OLD WITH YOU, IF I LET YOU GO,SWEAR IT AGAIN,WHAT ABOUT NOW, BETTER MAN, I'LL SEE YOU AGAIN ?] World of our own should be platinum early next year. Regarding Better Man I am not sure if it's still being streamed enough in order to reach getting silver soon, but if it passed When you tell me that you love me, it should be close, as WYTMTYLM sold 120k copies during the year of release and i think it has around 5-6 million streams. Anyone who has and wants to add more info to help me feel free :)

1 Adele - 30 (61.1k) 2 Westlife - Wild Dreams (33.0k) * 3 Ed Sheeran - = (21.2k) 4 ABBA - Voyage (15.6k) 5 Gary Barlow - The Dream of Christmas (15.4k) * Unpopular thought, i think selling 2.4k on Monday is a decent amount for us. Could help our fight for #2 entry. We need to keep pushing more though :) Monday Sum up: Adele 14.9k Westlife 2.4k Ed Sheeran 5.1k ABBA 4.1k Gary 1.4k Ed Sheeran stable at 5.1k, for 3 more days that would be 15.3k + ~3k missing streams = 39.000 For Westlife i can see it stabilizing somewhere between 1.5k-2k for the rest of the 3 days = 5k = 38000. Come onnn!!

yes this is definite. They would also open in midweeks top 3 too. They missed top 10 at the end of the week by around 1.000 copies and they sold more than 5k that thursday, it almost charted with 1 day of sales with no streams as far as i remember.

Yes i am in facebook for any friend or fellow Westlifer. My name is Charis Christou. I did some quick analysis on UK charts forum for westlife sales, updated my list / estimations. go have a look comment if you want or have any more information :)

People please accept my apologies, i will continue my analysis to keep a track of Westlife sales :) Westlife are one of the most successful groups of all time in the UK, holding fourteen Number 1 singles in the UK: a number only surpassed by The Beatles and Elvis Presley. Known for stools (both for sitting on and getting up from dramatically), key changes, ballads and a few bops here and there, their first seven singles all debuted at Number 1 within 18 months of each other, leading a total of 25 Top 10 singles. Additionally, eight of their albums went straight to Number 1 on the Official Albums Chart, most recently with their 2019 comeback record Spectrum. To celebrate the release of their new album Wild Dreams, below we reveal the definitive list of Westlife's Official Top 20 biggest songs of all time. First, a few highlights: When You're Looking Like That (2001) A rare early uptempo number, When You're Looking Like That never actually charted in its own right; it had to settle for being a double A-side with Queen Of My Heart. Despite this it remains one of their most popular tracks – it's their 6th most streamed song, clocking up 25 million plays – and appears in 17th place overall with 276,000 units via streaming and downloads only (as physical sales aren't counted – Queen of My Heart keeps those all to itself). My Love (2000) In 13th place is My Love, in part an ode to the lads' home of Ireland. It's their tenth most-streamed single with 18 million plays. Make sure to check out the music video for this one, featuring shots of Ireland's stunning beaches and the Cliffs of Moher – and some pretty liberal use of a green screen. Westlife in 1999 (Rex/Shutterstock) Against All Odds (2000) Westlife and Mariah? In the same studio? This really happened and the results were stellar. Westlife helped Mariah take her version of Phil Collins' 1984 Number 2 hit all the way to the top in 2000, notching up 507,000 chart sales to date. Westlife would repeat this formula five years later, teaming up with Diana Ross on a new version of her 1991 Number 2 hit When You Tell Me That You Love Me, which also peaked at Number 2. That single just misses out on their overall Top 20, however. Hello My Love (2019) After an eight-year hiatus, after calling time in 2011, Westlife returned with a bang with this breezy Ed Sheeran-track, peaking at Number 13 on the Official Singles Chart - an impressive feat for a band whose hits pre-date the streaming era. It's their eighth biggest single overall, but ranks as their most-streamed song to date with 54.5 million plays. QUIZ: Official Charts Pop Genius - The 2000s I Have A Dream/Seasons in the Sun (1999) A double-A side and two covers for the price of one, Westlife scored the Official Christmas Number 1 of 1999, and thus the first chart-topper of the 21st century. Westlife's version of I Have A Dream did what the original could not – ABBA's version had to settle for Christmas Number 2 exactly 20 years earlier, behind Pink Floyd. Blimey. It's their fourth biggest single and has shifted 707,000 chart sales. Westlife celebrating another Number 1 (Rex/Shutterstock) You Raise Me Up (2005) Westlife perch on their high stools, crooning. The crowd listens, waiting, in silent anticipation. The song changes key. Westlife stand. The crowd goes wild. Though it's been covered by countless artists, You Raise Me Up was first made popular by Josh Groban in 2003. In third place overall, Westlife's now iconic version is the first and only rendition to reach Number 1, dethroning Arctic Monkeys' debut single in November 2005. Flying Without Wings (1999) The band's third straight Number 1 in 1999, Flying Without Wings is pop balladry at its finest. The rousing choir, Mark's impressive vocal acrobatics, their pristine white outfits and angelic smiles – millions of hearts across the country were lost and Westlife's place as kings of weepy slow songs was assured. It ranks as their second biggest single overall, with 800,000 chart sales, including 37 million streams. Uptown Girl (2001) Westlife's cover of the Billy Joel classic became their eighth Number 1 in 2001, and ranks as their biggest single overall with 1.1 million chart sales. In the video for the track, which was Comic Relief's charity single that year, the boys sport some rather fetching American diner uniforms to serve high class patrons, portrayed by the likes of Robert Bathurst, Tim McInnerny, and of course Claudia Schiffer as the titular Uptown Girl. Charity songs used to do pretty big business on physical format, as they tended to be available in most supermarkets, which is why to date the song's physical sales make up 67% of its total figure (748k).

For me the first 3 albums, and more specially C2C and World of our own cannot be beaten by anything. However indeed with this album i am so happy it's better than many of them than followed.

We are comparing 2 different things though. Streaming era made it very difficult for a song ti habe a peak week but it helps a lot on total sales. Look at when u r looking like that, the song is going to become gold in a couple of years just because of introduction of streaming. World of our own is also getting platinum soon, uptown girl added another 300-350 k streaming sales, better man is on the verge of becoming silver too, right behind the rose which was a #1 lead single! With the big concerts in the summer many songs will get a boost, maybe even starlight

Of caurse it was, for many reasons. Its also the first single to be pushed into streaming. Btw maybe there is smthing wrong on the order of the list? Is hello my love above or below against all odds ? I will make my analysis later in the day based on new article and old ones i have
