    Also I think they are shifting to newer sound is because of Safe and Lighthouse underperformance. I think they need to realize that their best ballads are by Swedish. Both singles mentioned are by British and American. They should work with Max Martin and Savan Kotecha again but their latest one Break up with your girlfriend I'm so bored is so not Westlife.

    World of Our Own is my fave, I love every tracks inside it. Coast to Coast I don't like some of it but it is their biggest seller. Have you listened to Shane's Unbreakable? It's underperformance from his 2013 and 2015 singles as well made them sound like this now from the way I see it. They reserved this new sound, even Shane didn't do this.

    What are your favorite Westlife songs from their releases before their break up in 2012?
  5. myxxd posted a post in a topic in Pop and Country
    I personally don't like Because and their version of Love. My favorite is Talk about love I told you most of the fans are very traditionalists.

    They won't let him get away charis. They will be like the extension of his music. He's dominating the charts, his musics are the ones that most people listen to. it will be just a hard process for most of the Westlife fans to accept that this sound especially the upbeat ones is the direction they are taking in being not being used to 2019 music mostly.

    Last May, Kian said eight or nine songs were from them. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.thesun.ie/...-gig-songs/amp/ And from recent articles, there are more Ed written songs to come next year. I won't be surprised if the first single from the next ALBUM will be a song written by them, steve and Ed.

    #1 where? The release date is still on November. And as you said this will be on pre orders for over a year which is not normal and they never did this before and can you feel and see that they panic or get anxious when they talk about the album? This is for the building up of sales and streaming, the label knows from the start they will have a hard time on streaming. just trust them

    Also charis Coldplay and Take That have flop UK singles as well and they are one of those big album selling bands in the UK. They want and have chosen the option of having a chart run more inside the top 40 that will attract more streamers now than most of their old hits and style that went to 1-10-40-out Their last third UK single was way back in 2006 with Amazing and it had a music video and physical releases and it peaked at #4 as well. I guess this is just a natural occasion. Actually it is somehow surprising they are doing well on downloads because it kinda fcked up Shane, Mark, Nicky and Kian's solo career chartings. I guess the older music fans have cope up with the losing popularity of physical releases

    Also maybe they are doing this so some will go Apple music and their official site that have an earlier release date and will have the tendency to buy and stream on those more important album pre order links. They are doing another tactic on the tour. some have multiple purchases now of the album because of the meet and greet competition on their arena tour that will let you buy the album first

    No surprise for the stadium tour with the effect that they have on their albums from their Croke gigs and less time consuming Well this is true.. even with those covers. Simon knows at the end of the day most people will remember Westlife with their original hits and luckily on streaming, people remember them with their upbeat songs. Covers are there just for them to survive and have that longevity like ABBA and Beatles because there were more popular choices at that time and much more choices now than in the 60s or 70s. I remember before that someone said that bad karma will get them by releasing covers after covers. I guess it is good karma that is coming in for them now. “I had 13 years. I love Simon. Simon’s the best person in the world. I love working with him. “I used to work with him everyday. The reason Westlife are here is because of Simon. He started this band. He gave us all the hits. He was an amazing A & R guy. Nobody better than him. “I’m saying why isn’t he a Sir. I want him to be Sir Simon. We’re starting a campaign for a knighthood. He thinks he’s royalty already, so it’s fine.” It’s hard to argue with Louis’s assertion that Simon has made lots of people plenty of money. He continues: “The thing about Simon is he’s made more people millionaires than the Lottery. He doesn’t get enough credit for it and he’s great fun.” Watching Louis behind the scenes of the iconic Dublin stadium, it is clear to see he is in his element as he counts down until Westlife take to the stage in front of 80,000 adoring fans. There has been a buzz in the city all day as excitable faces, both young and old, walk the streets covered in glitter and dressed in band T-shirts. It’s something many modern day acts could only hope to experience, and Louis is all too aware it’s a rare feat. He enthuses: “80 thousand people here and 80 thousand tomorrow. It’s f*****g incredible. We could have done three nights. “Nobody does this, nobody. Nobody does figures like this. “I think they’re a better band, and they’re modern day Westlife. They’re not relying on the old hits they want new hits. It’s a whole new chapter. I think they’re in a better place and very focused on what they want to do. They don’t want to be a comeback band.”

    BIG-earning Westlife will take home as much as €6million each from their recent Irish and UK dates. Industry sources estimate the reformed boyband’s Twenty Tour grossed in the region of €70million from the shows, which included two huge gigs to 160,000 punters in Dublin’s Croke Park last weekend But they don’t get to keep all the dough and, after paying promoters, venues and their crew of 200, ­Westlife are left with half of that amount to split between their ­manager and themselves. An industry insider told the Irish Sun: “The average ticket price on Westlife’s tour was between €77 and €100 and they were selling out ­arenas all over the UK. “The members made an astonishing amount of money from the reunion already before you consider the money they’ll make from the Asian dates on their comeback tour.” Westlife invested heavily in ­coming up with a jaw-dropping comeback concert for fans. Acrobats from Cirque du Soleil and an array of lasers featured among their huge stage production, which travelled from gig-to-gig in nine articulated trucks. They also filmed every one of their concerts in the UK and Ireland, with the Croke Park shows to be released on DVD next October — a month before their new album ­Spectrum comes out. Our insider added: “Westlife had an outside broadcast unit for all the dates with four cameras catching all the action. The tour film will be a huge seller.” Music business insiders admit they are astonished at the huge haul of cash brought in by Westlife on their comeback dates. BANKRUPT A source said: “Having been away for seven years people wondered how well Westlife would do? But ticket sales went through the roof. “The demand was such because Westlife’s original fans are now grown-up mums and dads, and they brought their kids to all the concerts.” Last Saturday, Shane ­celebrated his 40th birthday party after the Croker gig — a far happier occasion than when they last headlined the GAA stadium in 2012. The Sligo man had only €470 in his bank account five days after the event, after a property development company he owned with his brother Finbarr collapsed during the economic crash. That year he was famously declared bankrupt with debts of €23million. And despite Shane, Kian Egan, Nicky Byrne and Mark Feehily now being flush to the tune of €6million each from their comeback, those working behind the scenes don’t begrudge them. One insider told us: “Everyone knows the lads went through some tough times money-wise when Westlife split the first time, particularly Shane, so people were delighted he celebrated his 40th birthday last week ­playing Croke Park again.” They added: “Shane, Nicky, Mark and Kian have never acted like prima donnas either — either when they were at the height of their success or on this comeback.” We revealed last weekend that Westlife are to tour again next year but will play even bigger stadiums. “They are off in Asia now for the next few months but once they come back in September, you can expect announcements about more Westlife dates next year.”

    Is it true that all of their albums are back in the top 100 of the Irish Albums Chart update this week? From https://escxtra.com/2019/07/10/westlifes-gr...-at-croke-park/

    Producer and record label choice. Because THE Bryan Mcfaded is the best bass vocalist of the group that is why some wants him back but they need to know the history of the band, he left and lied to them so we don't need him

    Also this is their debut year under Universal Virgin EMI. They had three singles released before their self-titled album release in 1999. They are doing the same thing this time because those were their sales and chart peaks, their first two albums. they were supposed to be signed up under Virgin or EMI in 1998 but they have chosen RCA because they are more pop and Backstreet and Take That were all under Sony. That is why I wanted them to release something last April because I know they won't release something in May (Bop Bop Baby release) and June (I'd Wait For Life by Take That release) because I know July and August will be too long for a release after their March release and it will wane down the hype. They need to drop those patterns already because we are on streaming era and not on sales era. Some fans also thought this is not an official single because there's no music video. I guess it will be a long way to go for most of the fans to adapt to streaming.
