about
Westlife is an Irish pop group formed on 3 July 1998. The group's original lineup comprised Nicky Byrne, Kian Egan, Markus Feehily, Shane Filan and Brian McFadden (who left in 2004). The group is the only act in UK history to have their first seven singles go straight to Number 1, and they have gone on to sell over 55 million records worldwide, and hold four Guinness World Records. They were signed by Simon Cowell and are managed by Louis Walsh. They garnered 14 number one singles in the United Kingdom, the third-highest in UK history, trailing behind only Elvis Presley and The Beatles. Westlife has received numerous accolades including one World Music Award, two Brit Awards, four MTV Awards, and four Record of the Year Awards. Westlife released their debut album in 1999, spawning five singles which all debuted at number one (Swear It Again, If I Let You Go, Flying Without Wings, Fool Again (2000 Remix) and I Have A Dream/Seasons In The Sun) with the group having the last number one of the previous millennia. Their next album Coast To Coast was released in 2000 and spawned a further five singles (Against All Odds (with Mariah Carey), My Love, What Makes A Man, I Lay My Love On You and When You're Looking Like That). This was the bands first number one album, with 'Westlife' only peaking at number two. World Of Our Own was released in 2001, followed by Unbreakable: The Greatest Hits (Volume One). Turnaround followed in 2003, which saw McFadden leave the band and release
