I don't think Sony as a whole will sabotage the comeback of Westlife even though they are not under them anymore because they still have interest in them, their back catalogue. I might be wrong though because internal politics in the music industry is very strong we all know that but that will not be a very good business decision on Sony's part if you ask me.

They appeared on the apple charts in 80 countries so far :wub: CD sold out in one branch of Hong Kong as well

I agree Charis but this is the album chart we are talking about and not the singles chart anymore. Hello My Love were really leading in the midweek with 200 plus something gap until the streaming was combined overall lol. I remember my first reaction was Omg Because I know it will be close in the end.

The pop and pop band comeback of the decade in the UK Albums Chart in 2019 The biggest selling (pure sales only since we all know they will struggle in streaming so far) album by a foreign pop band and an Irish act of 2019 on its first update and week so far Top ten in Apple Music UK this week Take That might get the #2 no matter how expensive the video album is since boy band lovers are out in the record shops this week

Idk maybe everyone in the top 10 will be lucky to have 1k a day sales. Some of the other album formats are not released at the same time I believe

50k :cheer:

When I watched it on youtube sound and claps were quite okay well it's just me because I like loud music as well lol

@1196418708912128006

Their former label RCA UK liked the Westlife hate tweet lol #1 again on iTunes Their telly ad before their interview This Morning is beautiful

what Kian said has a double meaning for me and didn't went well to me mentally since we are in the middle of a major release, I'm also surprised fans have not picked it up and or have seen it. I guess we are all busy listening with the album. Moving on. If we will also fully believe they just recorded 14 songs for Spectrum just because Courage their competition have 20 tracks, it is for the consumers not to be puzzled by this. By the way It's just me ok because they can't release an album in a slower pace especially now that technology and trends are on a faster pace. Their old buying fans are used to an album every year. They need to keep the momentum going like in the 2000s, the time with the bigger album sales. They are not Adele or Ed or a rock group that can release big albums after two four or three years because of their age and in what era they came from. Even Take That have tried that but didn't match the success of Progress. They tried it with Where We Are as well before but from then on they went downhill. Maybe they will be promoted to the US as well by the end of 2020 like Adele in 2008 presidential elections and Ed like in 2012, one year after the release of Plus. In 2021 maybe they will try solo releases again (but I doubt it since most of them love the band so much) then in 2022 a new album. A shorter time for the next album release will also have a positive effect for them even with a smaller sales because the fans won't have to wait for the new album that long like the first one that made it look like it's all for the money

They might hit a six figure debut this week if the report is true. I think maybe the pre orders are too big for the music climate and UK climate now and in 2019. they are already scared to have a follow-up album to Spectrum, adding to that are the tracks of Spectrum most of them are new sounds to the old buying Westlife fans which might have a negative after effect to the next album sales. They might be thinking they can't do the one year in advance pre order again and result might not be as welcoming as this comeback album. BUT they are a very hard-working band I think what they should do is to release their 2nd album under Universal shorter than Spectrum maybe sometime in June or April like BTS and Jonas Brothers this year so the expectations from them, the fans, and the public will be lower and then reissue it on November. Spectrum might get a reissue on October as well. Another good news from this album is the positive reactions from the fans. The only negative ones are from a few Shane fans. I think what they could have done for it before I think is they should have incorporated one or two upbeat modern tracks to previous Shane's solo albums since he is the most popular singer among them and so his fans won't be that shocked like the Dance track. Haters are at it again as usual they are the noisiest. Incredible performance last night. What I just don't like so far is what Kian said "saying goodbye to the fans with this album" thing.

Before the release @1194163373363126272 Yes I always see her account since early 2010s

I hope it's true Speaking to MailOnline just before their Strictly Come Dancing performance, Mark Feehily, said: ‘I hear it is doing well. A number one album would be incredible after all this time. ‘I don’t think any of us ever imagined that we’d be in contention for a number one album in our twentieth year but we’ve given everything into creating an album that feels fresh and relevant to 2019. The feedback from the fans has been amazing." ‘There is still a long way to go until we know the official chart position but it would be fantastic and would round off a brilliant year for Westlife. This isn’t just a one-off comeback, we’ve got big plans for 2020."

Daily mail? Mail Online can reveal the album is outselling the entire top 10 newly released albums combined – including Celine Dion’s new album Courage, Take That’s Odyssey and Lewis Capaldi’s Divinely Uninspired to a Hellish Extent.

Numbers are fine because 6 tracks were released at the same time unlike hello my love which was released alone and they are not included on major playlists Impressive numbers for My Blood One Last Time is a ballad and Ed Sheeran that's why and track #6 Repair is at the top of the Pop Right Now playlist pushed by the label. Pop right now has 770k followers and the song gained 50k+ more streams compared to the 5 other releases released at the same time. what more if one of their tracks will be at the top of the hot hits UK with 2.5m followers like they did to hello my love before. I miss the official forums, thecommitted, westlife.gr, westlifetards.com lol

A professional album review by a musician and a Westlife fan. The rightful one to make such review unlike the so-called journalists/fake fan who cannot even distinguish the band members n5Zr_5Obb2c

The only confirmed one so far. Shane posted a video yesterday thanking their fans for making them #1 but they are fond of posting their iTunes positions lol so the message is kinda vague as of this time Charis can you give us an update on their Spotify numbers?

Why? They will sing part of World of our own by the way

Charis: https://support.spotify.com/us/using_spotif...spotify-player/ It looks like they are pushing for "Dance" because when I search Westlife keyword Westlife dance appear as a suggestion on Twitter, it only happens when they promote something like westlife wembley, Westlife spectrum etc. In time of their releases iTunes (21x #1): #2 Worldwide #2 Europe #1 Cyprus #1 United Kingdom #1 Brunei #1 Mexico #1 Hong Kong #1 India #1 Indonesia #1 Ireland #1 Macau #1 Malaysia #1 New Zealand #1 Philippines #1 Singapore #1 Slovakia #1 South Africa #1 Sri Lanka #1 Sweden #1 Thailand #1 United Arab Emirates #1 Vietnam #2 Kazakhstan #2 Burkina Faso #2 Colombia #2 Belize #2 Belgium #2 Czech Republic #2 Denmark #2 Egypt #2 Israel #2 Norway #1 Qatar #2 Taiwan #3 Brazil #3 Papua New Guinea #2 Chile #4 Germany #4 Greece #4 Romania #4 Spain #4 Australia #5 Luxembourg #5 Netherlands #6 Japan (#1 pop) #6 Switzerland #7 Nigeria #8 Canada #7 Austria #13 Cambodia #13 Poland #12 United States #15 Russia #12 Italy #25 France #7 Turkey #41 Malta #51 Lebanon #54 Dominican Republic #67 Slovenia #2 Saudi Arabia #8 Finland Apple Music: #29 Worldwide #58 Europe #2 Ireland #4 Indonesia #5 Niger #6 United Kingdom #4 China #24 New Zealand #7 Taiwan #4 Singapore #7 Sri Lanka #54 Panama #7 Malaysia #6 Philippines #5 Vietnam #52 Thailand #10 Gambia #5 Hong Kong #12 Oman #9 Mauritius #70 South Korea #50 Malta #45 Uganda #32 Denmark #96 Australia #62 South Africa #43 Bolivia #30 Ghana #16 Cambodia #1 Macau #39 Nigeria #30 Lebanon #175 Mongolia #35 Sweden #22 UAE #28 Zimbabwe #84 Norway #154 India #103 Saudi Arabia #75 Netherlands #13 Egypt #117 Switzerland #136 Luxembourg #267 Germany #97 Spain #203 Mexico #240 Austria #109 Fiji #174 Belize #180 Slovenia #75 Kenya #316 Brazil #239 Belgium #98 Latvia #59 Botswana #409 Finland #40 Swaziland #154 Bermuda My Blood Spotify: #185 Ireland iTunes: #19 Ireland #26 United Kingdom Apple Music: #94 Ireland #301 United Kingdom #445 Indonesia Without You iTunes: #27 Luxembourg #41 Sweden #14 Ireland #58 Denmark #59 Indonesia #38 United Kingdom #159 South Africa #291 Belgium #158 New Zealand Apple Music: #128 Ireland #677 United Kingdom Take Me There iTunes: #2 Chile #61 Indonesia #66 Ireland #94 Singapore #138 United Kingdom #383 Belgium #146 Hong Kong #96 South Africa #488 Switzerland Apple Music: #123 Ireland #654 United Kingdom One Last Time iTunes: #41 Indonesia #45 Philippines #67 Ireland #58 Hong Kong #43 Singapore #69 Norway #132 Finland #158 United Kingdom #253 Netherlands #187 South Africa Apple Music: #112 Ireland #566 United Kingdom Dance iTunes: #68 Ireland #96 Singapore #158 Indonesia #189 South Africa #217 United Kingdom Apple Music: #128 Ireland #178 Niger #638 United Kingdom L.O.V.E. iTunes: #131 Finland #152 Indonesia #775 United Kingdom Apple Music: #159 Ireland #782 UK Repair iTunes: #191 South Africa #952 United Kingdom Apple Music: #153 Ireland #733 United Kingdom Another Life iTunes: #146 Poland #254 United Kingdom Indonesia Philippines Apple Music: #192 Ireland #903 UK

My mum even in doubt if Westlife will get a #1 again when she asked me when was the last #1, she kept silent lol it was last year Even Nicky on their latest article he didn't think Westlife will be a success again I think he's honest

No the CIN album is #1 which is understandable. Celine is down to 4 on iTunes but she has two versions released this week but yeah they are doing better on apple music they are at #6 now We will all find out in the midweek. Their westlife.com were not as promoted and active for pre-orders in 2011 compared to 2019. In 2011, people bought their digital albums on either Amazon or iTunes to some extent. We also don't have rounds of scheduled album signing on record shops like The Script etc like before

@zeze that's just the summary for future reference. I am posting at the top of a new page most of the time so it will be easier for me to update. They will be on Strictly later? I thought it's tomorrow? Newly added guest appearance on Friday, Ireland, Late Late Show Why some fans have excess CD shipped to them lol and some CDs hasn't arrived on its owners?
