Feels like 1999 all over again when Bwitched, The Corrs, Boyzone and Westlife somehow dominated the charts before the end of a decade

Illuminati Ms screensaver must happy now

Ryan Tedder demo of Dance is on YouTube, just don't know if it's the same track

Yes

Album of the week - radio 2

They got lucky :cheer:

This is first on pop right now playlist on Spotify and in the tail end of the of It's a Hit playlist

How reliable is chartoo.com? Because these are the same names on their site. I've read they are linked to Apple music. I have no apple account so I cannot see

I have seen that and more specific to the UK

I cannot contain my excitement lomadz they said many tracks didn't make the cut (like the Anywhere and Only Got Tonight tracks) so the songs here should really be excellent, uptempo or ballads. If this is true, this is their first studio album not to have a cover... Whoa first the ballad choice before the album premiere and now this, brave. their pre orders must be up there somewhere. What do you think? Well it's Universal style not to pursue covers that's why Memories by M5 and I Feel Love by Sam Smith are new to me. I remember when Shane signed up for a record deal in 2013, they said go to Nashville and write some songs and they did.

Not really. England is the most populated, urbanised, Americanized, trendy country of UK. They are the first ones that supported Westlife the most and they are also the first one that left them like all of other urbanised European countries that Westlife were once popular. Because they are not the trend anymore and past their prime a long time ago. Adding salt to the wound were the number one oversaturation, covers, and continuous ballad releases. Westlife's longevity was because of their intensive promotion every year in the 2000s and can still sell loads of albums up to this day. Ireland of course because they are Irish it was like every household in Ireland has a Westlife CD and was like the term Westlife is on their music educational system lol Irish and UK charts used to be in sync before most of the time especially to Westlife but because things have changed, more technology and leisure choices came in, more Americanized financially bigger, backed promotions, it is not the case anymore. It's just natural. Like I said before their chart run was like ABBA. But Westlife stayed longer than them. my father is a fan of ABBA and I'm a Westlife fan. He smiled when he heard their version of I Have a Dream. What happened to their comeback by the way? But Charis, they can still sell tickets and albums and does have hit singles in 2019 and it's a rare feat for an act that is out for a long time and a twenty year band.

And they are the most conservative and less techie when it comes to streaming compared to Warner and Universal

From what I remember it was The Rose that leaked a week before its release and it charted at #143 in the UK Singles Chart before zooming all the way to #1

Oh I don't remember that but yeah big record companies can easily block leakages specially these days

None so far. https://shop.westlife.com/*/*/Spectrum-Boxset/69SZ0000000 Included in this box set: Spectrum CD DVD of music videos for ‘Hello My Love’, ‘Better Man’ and ‘Dynamite’ 5 prints including a solo of each band member along with a group shot Westlife tea towel

Yeah some said that the tour announcement this year was a bit rushed back in September maybe because of the album presales to add with the numbers they have now and maybe Brexit was a factor as well and they want somehow the fans to focus on their upcoming single and album releases

Shadows, Where We Are and the unreleased Beautiful tracks in 2009 are from Tedder

Also they made the album pre order link available before the lead single release in case their old buying fans will not like their new direction. Very clever

How true is this? @1192447495101534208

Yeah risky where Coldplay is a big album act as well but they beat Beatles U2 and Oasis compilation on their first week in 2006 all compilations but Westlife's edge was they were still at their peak and The Love Albums were all new recordings But again I don't think it'll be later than the 15th Coldplay and Westlife are under Universal, making it as one of the consideration

Oh wow I hope that will not happen to Spectrum. Sony's history is really bad when it comes to leakages and securing their catalogue

For me as well because there's a scheduled live TV performances already. do you think their pre order numbers will be big and they are only diverting some of the format sales in the 2nd week so the album's sales and chart placement will not drop that much like most of the top albums released this year and will not look like the first week success will only be because of the frontloaded sales by their old fans

Album on Nov 22? https://discover.ticketmaster.co.uk/music/q..._source=twitter I have seen a cd+DVD format of Spectrum as well online aside from the limited box set most are in different release dates

#tbt Eight years ago, their last television performances in Children in Need and Strictly Come Dancing DGEVXXfgpi4 O5vVUyuX0hY And their last medley on tv AXDa4FDpkMQ
