Formed in Dublin in 1998, Westlife followed in the tradition of European boy bands like Take That and Boyzone. The group performed ballads and club-worthy pop songs for a devoted European audience, becoming one of the continent's most successful bands in the process. Although they never managed to find American success, Westlife released six platinum-selling records in the U.K. and eventually sold more than 40 million albums worldwide, a feat that helped them eclipse the popularity of pop titans like Boyzone, whose lead singer had managed the band during its infancy.
Vocalists Shane Filan, Kian Egan, and Mark Feehily first performed together in another pop group, IOYOU, and experienced their first brush with success when Simon Cowell considered signing them to BMG. The group's other singers didn't make the cut, however, and a new round of auditions was launched to find more capable members. Nicky Byrne and Bryan McFadden were eventually added, the group was signed, and Westlife began prepping its debut album with the help of Louis Walsh, Boyzone's manager, and Boyzone member Ronan Keating. Their debut single, "Flying Without Wings," entered the U.K. charts at number one in 1999, a feat that Westlife replicated one year later with "Seasons in the Sun" and "Swear It Again." All three songs were also released on the group's self-titled debut, which was met with similar success and went platinum in the U.K. An American release followed in early 2000 courtesy of Arista Records.
Coast to CoastWestlife never managed to make a dent in America’s pop scene, where national acts like the Backstreet Boys, *NSYNC, and Britney Spears reigned supreme. It was a different story in the U.K., though, where the group charted 14 number one singles and continued releasing hit albums. Both Coast to Coast and A World of Our Own went multi-platinum, and the group celebrated its success by releasing a hits compilation, Unbreakable, Vol. 1: The Greatest Hits, in 2002. Turnaround followed in 2003 and fared similarly well, but Bryan McFadden nevertheless left the lineup one later year in the hopes of launching his own career. "Real to Me," his first single as a solo artist, topped the charts in 2004.
Allow Us to Be FrankWestlife continued touring after McFadden's exit and released Allow Us to Be Frank, a tribute to the Rat Pack, in late 2004. They returned to their contemporary pop formula with 2005's Face to Face -- their biggest-selling album in three years -- and continued releasing material throughout the rest of the decade, including The Love Album, Back Home, and Where We Are.
Gravity In November 2010, Westlife released Gravity, their tenth studio album. Following the release of single "Safe," the band announced they would be leaving Simon Cowell's label Syco. Citing a lack of support from Cowell following Syco's unwillingness to release a second single from Gravity, the group signed a one-album deal with RCA Records. A Greatest Hits album was released a year after Gravity, featuring four new songs that would turn out to be the band's last as they announced their split following a farewell tour. Sold out in minutes, the tour was a huge success, ending in June of 2012 at Croke Park Stadium in Dublin, Ireland in front of a crowd of over 80,000.
Over the next few years, each member focused on his own career and families, taking timeouts, releasing solo albums, and appearing on TV and reality shows. In 2018, after numerous rumors, the group announced that a new album was in the works alongside a tour. Returning to the studio with previous collaborator Steve Mac -- who had also built up a successful songwriting partnership with Ed Sheeran -- Westlife delivered their 11th studio album, Spectrum, at the end of 2019. The album included collaborations with James Bay as well as Sheeran on the singles "Hello My Love" and "Better Man''.
Dibentuk di Dublin pada tahun 1998, Westlife mengikuti tradisi boy band Eropa seperti Take That dan Boyzone. Kelompok ini menampilkan balada dan lagu-lagu pop layak klub untuk pemirsa Eropa yang setia, menjadi salah satu band paling sukses di benua itu dalam prosesnya. Meskipun mereka tidak pernah berhasil menemukan kesuksesan Amerika, Westlife merilis enam catatan penjualan platinum di Inggris dan akhirnya menjual lebih dari 40 juta album di seluruh dunia, suatu prestasi yang membantu mereka melampaui popularitas para penyanyi pop seperti Boyzone, yang penyanyi utamanya telah mengelola band selama masa bayi.
Vokalis Shane Filan, Kian Egan, dan Mark Feehily pertama kali tampil bersama dalam grup pop lain, IOYOU, dan mengalami kuas pertama mereka dengan sukses ketika Simon Cowell mempertimbangkan untuk menandatangani mereka ke BMG. Namun, penyanyi-penyanyi lain dalam grup itu tidak ikut serta, dan putaran audisi baru diluncurkan untuk mencari anggota yang lebih cakap. Nicky Byrne dan Bryan McFadden akhirnya ditambahkan, kelompok itu ditandatangani, dan Westlife mulai menyiapkan album debutnya dengan bantuan Louis Walsh, manajer Boyzone, dan anggota Boyzone Ronan Keating. Single debut mereka, "Flying Without Wings," memasuki tangga lagu UK di nomor satu pada tahun 1999, suatu prestasi yang ditiru Westlife satu tahun kemudian dengan "Seasons in the Sun" dan "Swear It Again." Ketiga lagu juga dirilis pada debut self-titled grup, yang disambut dengan kesuksesan yang sama dan pergi platinum di Inggris. Sebuah rilis Amerika diikuti pada awal 2000 milik Arista Records.
Coast to CoastWestlife tidak pernah berhasil membuat lekuk dalam adegan pop Amerika, di mana tindakan nasional seperti Backstreet Boys, * NSYNC, dan Britney Spears memerintah tertinggi. Itu adalah cerita yang berbeda di Inggris, meskipun, di mana kelompok ini memetakan 14 nomor satu dan terus merilis album hit. Baik Coast to Coast dan A World of Our Own meraih multi-platinum, dan grup ini merayakan keberhasilannya dengan merilis kompilasi hit, Unbreakable, Vol. 1: The Greatest Hits, pada tahun 2002. Turnaround mengikuti pada tahun 2003 dan bernasib sama dengan baik, tetapi Bryan McFadden meninggalkan jajaran satu tahun kemudian dengan harapan meluncurkan karirnya sendiri. "Real to Me," single pertamanya sebagai artis solo, menduduki puncak tangga lagu pada tahun 2004.
Allow Us to Be FrankWestlife melanjutkan tur setelah McFadden keluar dan merilis Allow Us to Be Frank, penghargaan untuk Rat Pack, pada akhir 2004. Mereka kembali ke formula pop kontemporer mereka dengan Face to Face 2005 - album terlaris mereka dalam tiga tahun - dan terus merilis materi sepanjang sisa dekade ini, termasuk The Love Album, Back Home, dan Where We Are.
Gravity Pada November 2010, Westlife merilis Gravity, album studio kesepuluh mereka. Setelah merilis single "Aman," band ini mengumumkan mereka akan meninggalkan label Simon Cowell, Syco. Mengutip kurangnya dukungan dari Cowell menyusul keengganan Syco untuk merilis single kedua dari Gravity, grup ini menandatangani kontrak satu album dengan RCA Records. Album A Greatest Hits dirilis setahun setelah Gravity, menampilkan empat lagu baru yang akhirnya menjadi band terakhir saat mereka mengumumkan perpisahan mereka setelah tur perpisahan. Habis terjual dalam hitungan menit, tur itu sukses besar, berakhir pada Juni 2012 di Croke Park Stadium di Dublin, Irlandia di depan kerumunan lebih dari 80.000.
Selama beberapa tahun berikutnya, setiap anggota fokus pada karier dan keluarganya sendiri, mengambil waktu tunggu, merilis album solo, dan tampil di TV dan reality show. Pada tahun 2018, setelah banyak desas-desus, kelompok mengumumkan bahwa album baru sedang dikerjakan bersama tur. Kembali ke studio dengan kolaborator sebelumnya Steve Mac - yang juga telah membangun kemitraan penulisan lagu yang sukses dengan Ed Sheeran - Westlife menyampaikan album studio ke-11 mereka, Spectrum, pada akhir tahun 2019. Album ini mencakup kolaborasi dengan James Bay serta Sheeran di single "Hello My Love" dan "Better Man ''.
