I remember that but maybe that will be one on their last plans. They tried it in 2002 they even had a documentary and did a version of Daytime Friends and in 2013 with Shane as well but didn't worked out to their UK fans, maybe in the US it'll work. Anyway, for those who are saying these are Steve Mac's worst produced songs obviously are clueless about the Westlife discography, what sound the fans used to listen from them, and what made them number one.

It will really be expensive but why do you think different major record labels have fought for them to signed up again if they can sign up new and younger artist? if they won't back them up? Just for the UK market? Is that it? Because they see future and profit in them. On every singles they have different plans, ways, strategies. If you will guys notice, their official videos from hello my love up to my Blood doesn't have the (official music video) tag in the end like Someone You Loved by Capaldi before (and now it has a new music video with the new tag in it), because it will most likely be re-released.

Ok let's define first "they will or will not make it" as top top artist or they will or will not make it to the radio that their songs will always be played and will just pray maybe they will have hits because I am for the second one They will not go for capturing the teen audience because they did it before it didn't worked out on their first try, they had their second try but when they learned the radio won't play them they didn't continue it because it will be nonsense. It was 17 years ago. Now when it's all digital and internet global connections with the push of the major label and their songs will all be constantly played. if the song is a hit, it's a hit no matter what age is. Actually their debut album #129 in 2000 wasn't bad because those are the numbers of the debut albums of Black Eyed Peas, The Corrs, and Usher and they have become hits afterwards. Westlife didn't pursue the US market before because they are protecting their number one status in the UK and the countries where they were strong. They even left the Latin American market behind even if they were a hit there because of the pressure.

I know but we'll never know if they will not even try Maybe you are thinking they will be promoted like One Direction, BTS, Jonas Brothers style for the teen audience. No I'm thinking differently, they will be promoted in a more mature audience like Florida Georgia Line etc How do you guys even know they won't make it if their songs are not being played on the radio in 2019 onwards that will reach up to the American masses?

It is the record label's work to make it happen. They only need at least one big hit in the US like ABBA. How old are the members of Coldplay and Maroon 5?

Cma awards getting 30 minute exposure in BBC world news. Does the Bbc do same thing in the UK? how long they have been doing something like this?

That's why the next step and the only way for them is to get to the US market. It is important for them to get higher into the streaming circle because until when will the hardcore fans will buy their albums and singles? Or when they got tired of them again, they will just stream them because it's free and doesn't have the power to buy their stuff anymore, that's why everything that they've been doing right now is for their future. They can't do alternative because it's so not them and rock because they kinda did it with Where We Are which are mostly pop soft rock, but I won't be surprised if they will do this again in the future. that's why upbeat urban ones which is closer to their old music is the only way to go since they will be like a new artist in the US and because they won't release a song or any ballad song like Swear it Again as a lead single again. Vinyls are out this week I believe let's see if how many sales they will get lol last week Script dived from 1 to 14. They have radio promo out in the 29th I believe a deluxe edition is out by that time?

They have a taped appearance on MTV OMG today? They will perform Hello My Love on Dec 7 Another Life had its first radio airplay on BBC radio Manchester They replaced Uptown Girl to World of Our Own at the top of the songs to sing in the shower Spotify playlist If we will analyse their album's first week streams 1.8m divided by 11 is 169k plus if only those will be translated to pure sales plus the 60k pure sales it's total will be 229k more or less which reminds me of their opening sales in the 2000s. Even if we'll only count half of the 229k plus 60k, it will still be their highest since the late 00s. of course we will not determine who will buy the album or not in the streaming data we have if all of this happened in the sales era but what a new low and sad state for old pop music. Been like this since 2006-7 totp, smash hits ended and the last #1 single of Westlife to date Even even the greatest hits pop album by the 30 year old artist Kylie have low sales and streams for a #1. Most of the people will only stream you if you are new, current, cool and for the old ones mostly rock, alternative genres or Americanised or have a 40 year old music career that have established and have more followers in most platforms and have the same good music like from the past

Sales are important but streaming really is more essential now. they are just lucky that they have 60k hardcore fans who bought the album in UK and Ireland because in other countries it's very evident that streaming dominated even the album charts compared to early 2010s and the earlier years. They said their new sounds are for their future, older fans need to understand that because they are not as established as Celine or Bruce Springsteen on other bigger countries. But both have 40 years of music career on them already with more followers and Westlife as a twenty one year old band and just came back feels like they are just getting started.

11th top 10 studio albums, 13 top 4 overall with the greatest hits albums. The Script has 5 #1 albums, maybe he's talking about Take That.

#31 Streaming (third new entry) #1 Sales, Downloads, Physical, Scotland Didn't chart on vinyl - my suspicion it will be released this week I am not sure though Hello My Love and My Blood charted this week at Downloads, Sales and Scotland Hello My Love and Better Man is on the physical charts as well "1,867 sales equivalent streams" (out of 62,291 album sales) which means it's already a silver certified album

Yes

That's what I am thinking as well or maybe on the 29th of November or 7th of December or maybe they are just for the album promo Just confirmed they will release a video album from their Croke gig Dance had its first radio airplay in Ireland Their 8th #1 album and 13th top 4 album is now confirmed. Congratulations 🎉

They only want free stuff lol I find this funny: https://www.irelandbeforeyoudie.com/10-sign...ing-in-ireland/ 2. Westlife releases a new hit – just in time for Christmas Westlife is a popular boy band in Ireland Some may argue that Westlife is one of the best boy bands to come out of Ireland, and who are we to argue? They formed in 1998, broke up for a while in 2012, and reunited in 2018. In all their years together, they never missed releasing a Christmas song, and hearing their new single some time in November is a sure sign that Christmas is just around the corner. Who do you think is the one who sleeps with their bottom in the air lmao Boyzlife official account following Westlife fans lately. Brian is desperate

Yes because Dermot's album is the fastest album of this year in Ireland with 7k units until the 8.9k copies sold by Westlife came. I think it was 400 copies short for it to be the fastest selling by a band of the decade. Jedward has the title and it was in 2010. In 2019, Spectrum already is very big for them. If released in earlier years would have been record breaking sales. Plus they have promo later that will stabilise their sales in Ireland Based on the video on that link they already know they are #1 last Monday look at the shirts lol They will be in the Late Late Show later. More than 10k registered to be picked to meet and greet them there lol They have promo in Lorraine on Monday and on Radio 2 on the 29th of November

Their 2011 X Factor performance of What About Now was in December 2011 and their next UK Spectrum promo will be on December most likely, they already went back home to Ireland 2 days ago based on their social posts. I scoured the sales vault and their sales went up in that week's performance It's nice we and Westlife are relaxed now, they really secured their premiere week sales to be #1 and they outdid themselves with this album with their original songs

It really does sound like The Wanted's biggest hit Glad You Came because it's also a Steve Mac prod. I think they will reserve this before the tour and for their promotion in the US next year

Even Coldplay will be releasing a new album at a faster rate. they should reconsider it because even if they will release more albums at a faster rate they can promote it more relaxed now than the 2000s because there's social media now.

I think Repair was the track Mark was referring to in his OCC interview that there's a song that sounds like from Clannad and his song "Sanctuary"

Do you think they will be on x factor this year? The was a big help to their 2011 album sales

In Ireland, they have number one albums in three consecutive decades on their Albums Chart already. They switched My Blood and Repair on Pop Right Now Spotify playlist. They will be on the Big Show on Dec 7 I think they should release Dance or One Last Time as a proper single this year and Take Me there next year

They always report the UK charts Wow voted as best live act by Ticketmaster Ireland fans Do you think we will get a music video of Without You? I really think they can release all of the songs as singles that's how strong this album is even l.o.v.e. on territories that doesn't know their age lol it reminds me of their old upbeat records like The Easy Way and Tunnel of Love, story of love. That's why fans love it

Based on this at least we can say, Ed's name is a big help to their comeback especially to the current state of British music sales industry and their age. It is already a big achievement for them just by sitting next to these two even if they'll only be ahead (or not) to Lewis on pure sales just a little and even if the pre order link came very early (because it's still the buyer's decision how many copies they will buy or will just stream it for free when the musics are out)

53.7 yesterday, 56.4 today :) On track to be the biggest selling number one album by a foreign band on its debut week since September 2013, King of Leon's Mechanical Bull. pls kindly correct if this is wrong

But those are indicators and keeps on changing Everytime, it will be easier for me to edit it. And this is for future reference @1196819008743518214
