They garnered 14 number one singles in the United Kingdom, the third-highest in UK history, tying with Cliff Richard and tailing behind Elvis Presley and The Beatles. The band has also won numerous awards such as the "Best Irish Pop Act" at the annual Ireland Meteor Awards and ITV "Record of the Year" award in the UK. The band has also broken a few top records, including "Music artist with most consecutive number 1's in the UK" and the "Biggest selling arena act in the UK".
Over years of their career, Westlife's music has evolved from teen pop to a pop sound, with an emphasis on ballads. All of the band members are songwriters, although most of their hits have been composed by external writers.

Westlife are an Irish boy band formed in 1998. They are to disband in 2012 after their farewell tour. The group's line-up was Shane Filan, Mark Feehily, Nicky Byrne, Kian Egan, and Brian McFadden (left the band in 2004). Westlife have sold over 45 million records worldwide which includes studio albums, singles, video release, and compilation albums.[1] Despite the group's worldwide success, they only have one hit single in the United States, "Swear It Again", which peaked in 2000 on the Billboard Hot 100 at number 20. The band were originally signed by Simon Cowell and are managed by Louis Walsh. The group have accumulated 14 number-one singles in the United Kingdom, the third-highest in UK history, tying with Cliff Richard. The group had also broken a few records, including "Music artist with most consecutive number 1's in the UK", which consists of their first seven singles and only behind The Beatles and Elvis Presley. The Official Charts Company credited Westlife as the second biggest-selling artist and biggest-selling band of the decade.[2] The band have 14 UK number ones and 25 top ten singles, consisting of 20.2 million records and videos in the UK across their 14-year career - 6.8 million singles, 11.9 million albums and 1.5 million videos.[3]
On 1 June 2008, Westlife marked their tenth anniversary with a concert in Croke Park, Dublin which had more than 83,000 fans attending the special occasion. Music Week revealed on their website that Westlife are the official third top touring act within the years 2005–2008, while they were seventh top touring act of 2008.[4] Also in 2008, they were declared Ireland's ninth-richest celebrities under 30 years old and thirteenth in general with 36 million euros as a group. In 2009, they dropped as sixteenth richest Irish with estimated 8 million euros each. They were named as the fourth most hard-working music artist in UK by PRS in 2010.[5] In August 2011, it was reported in the Irish Examiner that the profits of the band's firm grew five-fold in 2010.[6] On 19 October 2011, Westlife announced they were to split after their Greatest Hits was released on the 21st of November 2011 it debuted in Ireland at number1 for 1 week and debuted and peaked at number 4 in the UK and a farewell tour in Spring 2012.[7]
After Brian Mcfadden's shock exit two years ago, critics specualted they'd reached the end of their career, but their current album face to Face, is their biggest seller yet, with over 1.5 million sales. The album spawned the No.1 hit You raise me up, which became ITV's 2005 Record of the year, as well as the Diana Ross duet When you tell me that you love me.
Fans, along with the band, would argue they are now better than ever. The irish lads- Nicky Byrne, Mark Feehily, Shane Filan, and Kian Egan - who have just released their 20th single, Amazing, are as passionate about their music as ever.
"As a band, we're definitely at our height," Shane,26, tells HELLO!! as he relaxes with the others in the bar of The Four Seasons Hotel Hampshire, a country retreat just an hour from London. "This is the best album of songs that we have recorded and we feel confident going forward. With our next album, well try to go out there and make an even better one."
Amazingly, the guys havent been tarnished by their success. "We've kept our heads crewed on," explains Nicky,27, who married georgina, daiughter of irish Taoiseach bertie Ahern, two years ago."Our upbringing has a lot to do with it, but weve always known how quickly it can go and how lucky we are, so we work hard."
"We're just decent people", adds Kian,25,who lives with his girlfriend, former Hollyoaks star Jodi Albert. "Youre not going to get dirty stories on us because there are none out there. We're just normal and maybe thats what appeals to people.
All (bar Dublin born Nicky)grew up together as friends in their hometown Sligo. "Were closer to being brothers then four guys who went thorugh auditions and are from completely different walks of life," says Mark 25, "Its like family- from the word go we've had that bond"
"Weve all looked after each other,." adss Shane, whose wife Gillian(Kians cousin), gave birth to baby Nicole seven months ago. "If anyone starts to go a bit weird we sit with them down and talk to them. Weve always had that level of respect for each other, wehere we can speak our feelings and thats kept us level-headed."
The guys were among the first to know that Mark was gay, long before he came out publicly last summer, and he knew he could count on their support. Says Mark, who has been dating Kevin McDaid of boyband V for over a year,"Once i came to terms with it I had to say it, It was all over the papers for 2 days then that was it. Just standing up and ssaying it made me feel a lot beter. Other peoples opinions dont matter in the long run, but its nice to be shown support.
Westlife have never been ones to pay much attention to critics, although Face to face has certainly put paid to them."You'll never silence them," says Mark. "We'[ve stopped being affected by reviews a long time ago. because what matters to us are our fans."
The only time they were worried about the future of the band was when Brian left 2 years ago. "We didnt know what to expect, it was a whole new chapter for us." says Shane. "We had an emergency meeting with our manager Louis Walsh until 4am. We asked each other whether we wanted to do it after Brian left, and we said yes. We were nervous but we had the strength to go forward and it made us closer. We had a point to prove to ourselves, friends, family and our fans.
Brian leaving gave us a kick in the behind we needed. It made us realsie it could all be gone tomorrow and youve got to work at it. We became a better group without him.
In 2006, westlife are more excited than ever about their music."Its our nature to be hungry"says Mark. "We always aim high, no matter how much success we have."
"We dont see westlife as a little sprint", adds Kian.
"We enjoy it and we're to young to stop."says Nicky. We're in a successful band that is all we've know since the age of 16-17. People on the outside may think,theyve made a few quid, had a few no.1s, surely to God they just want to have an easy life and get away from it." But we want to keep going. We enjoy making new songs for people to enjoy. It gives us a buzz- it makes us feel weve achieved something.
"Youve got to take it year by year. Its a very difficult way of life, travelling around the world and being away from loved oness," says Kian. "Most people can only do it for a set ammount of time, but others like Rod Stewart and Elton John still do it after 30 years. You can only tell with time. were at the stage where we feel we've still got a few years left in us."
Meanwhile, they're busy promoting their new single Amazing and looking forward to a UK arena tour in April and a possible collaboration with Lionel Ritchie. Then they'll reocrd their next album, and a greatest Hits, Volume 2 is sure to follow, but they're in the lucky position of making things up as they go.
"Originally, we signed our record deal for five albums. After our second album renegotiated for two more. We're almost at the end of that contract, which is unusaual because boybands never manage to do that.",says Nicky.
"At first, it was easy because we had other bands to look to in terms of gauging what to do next,"says Mar. "But now decisions are a lot harder because were not following anyone elses carreer oath, wriitng our own story."Thats great".
When asked what the highlight of the Westlife ride has been, they all have a different esponse. For Kian, there was the first time he went on an aeroplane. Nicky cites metting Pope John paul 11, while mark is proud to have met Stevie Wonder. For Shane it was doing sell out gigs in Dublin in front of 80,000 people.
But as Kian says,"You cant pinpoint one thing. You could pick memories from each year."
Then Nicky stumbles upon a great idea when he says" We could make a film about it. Its an amazing story, and its still not over."
It look like that film could turn into an epic at this rate!!
hellomagazine在2月份关于Westlife的报道，个人认为挺不错^_^用这段作了presentation
第一篇：
In the tradition of British and Irish boy bands like Take That and Boyzone comes Dublin's Westlife, a quintet consisting of Shane Filan, Nicky Byrne, Bryan McFadden, Mark Feehily, and Kian Egan. Filan, Egan, and Feehily were among the group's six founding members, but the other half of the group was dispatched when Louis Walsh, Boyzone's manager, took interest in them. This made room in the band for Byrne and McFadden; Walsh also introduced Westlife to Boyzone vocalist and solo artist Ronan Keating, who became the group's co-manager shortly after they cemented their recording contract. The group's first single, 1999's "Flying Without Wings," entered the U.K. charts at number one, a feat they replicated with "Seasons in the Sun" and "Swear It Again" in 2000. Their self-titled debut album met with similar chart-topping success and quickly went platinum in their homeland. Westlife was released in the U.S. by Arista Records in early 2000.
第二篇：
Westlifes original members hail from Co. Sligo in Ireland.Out of those original members only three remain;Shane Filan, Kian Egan and Mark Feehily.Bryan McFadden and Nicky Byrne joined the group when Louis Walsh showed interest in the band, he then introduced ex-Boyzone member Ronan Keating to the band and the pair now co-manage the group.
The first single to be released was "Swear It Again" which went in straight to number one in the U.K. and in Ireland, it then went to tne top spot in numorous other countries.They followed it with "If I Let You Go" which also went to number one in those countries.They have released nine singles altogether off their previous two albums,"Westlife" and "Coast To Coast". Their next single is called "Queen Of My Heart" and it is on their upcoming album "World Of Our Own". They have been entered in the "Guinness Book Of Records" for having their first seven singles go straight to number one in the U.K. and for having five number one singles in Ireland.
Their tour earlier this year was so successful that tickets are already for sale for their next one in 2002, which is in big demand.Westlife have tried, and unfortunatly failed, in conquering America but the lads have vowed to try again and their fans are certain that the American public will realise, sooner or later, how great Westlife really are.
