I hope you don’t mind posting Westlife here in The General Store, they aren’t exactly inactive. You can of course move it to Comeback if you think its better.
Anyway, Mark posted a video, he looks good! I really think he meant what he said with his last post, everything will be ok. I think he will be part of Westlife again, he just needs more time and us fans need to be patient.
Westlife were at Late Late show. Why they didn’t do this next Friday when the album is released, a weird decision if you ask me but at least they are doing some promo.
At the risk of talking to myself haha, the album is out now. I really like First Time Feeling, they should have started with that, not Chariot. I can just imagine it live but of course they won’t sing it because Nicky and Kian can’t pull it off live.
I am all for equal verses but what is actually the point when Kian mimes all the times, Nicky does try sometimes though.
It will be interesting to see where will the album chart. They are singing on Britain’s Got Talent on Saturday.
Interesting they announced Australia and New Zealand tour for July 2027. Surely Mark will join them then, no? We will see.
Just checked out the new Greatest Hits on streaming. Can anyone confirm if the physicals have the single version of Fool Again? The digital version is the limp album mix.
Yeah this release is so weird. Its crazy digital version doesn’t have Hello My Love, it was a big hit. The last Greatest Hits was better, this looks like such a weak effort. At least we have new songs, Mark sounds great.
Now they added even more dates for Europe, Mexico and Asia and more will be added in time. I am honestly amazed people are interested so much in them as a trio.
Wonder what the likelihood is of their early singles being upped to digital. I’m quite fond a few of the single and US mixes, and a handful of b-sides.
They released this on Spotify years ago, but it would be great if they could release every B side song, they do have a lot of great songs
Unfortunately it’s not the 2000 Remix / single version of Fool Again on the CD either, I was really hoping it would finally be included on streaming via this release.
Worse still, the back cover has the tracklist order messed up. It has Fool Again preceding When You’re Looking Like That, but on the CD itself (and in the booklet) Fool Again is the penultimate track before Queen Of My Heart. Very shoddy.
it looks more and more someone made this half-assed. Someone should be fired.
150 shows, wow, that will be even bigger tour than the last.
Hopefully they will manage to stay on top, MJ has been pretty high in streaming for a while because of the movie, I hope he doesn’t ovetake them.
In pursuit of their ninth No.1 album, Westlife established a huge lead in early sales flashes with 25: The Ultimate Collection but ultimately have to settle for their fourth No.2 album (26,783 sales)

They managed to sell out Gelora Bung Karno Main Stadium in 1 day, thats 78 000 capacity. They have always been huge in Asia but I find this impressive to achieve without Mark.
