Westlife's footprint
[Westlife]
Westloft
A beautiful country is bound to have some beautiful stories. Westlife's story begins in sligo, a small town in the northwest of Ireland, because it is the hometown of Shane, Mark and Kean, the protagonists of this story.
Their first performance was performed at the Hawksville Theatre in sligo at the age of 12. In that performance, Shane played Danny, Keane played Kainiki and Mark played Vince. So, the three boys knew each other like this, and they were destined to create a great thing together.
When Shane, Keane and Mark were studying at Summerhill College, Boyzone was the best pop band in Ireland. They are a group that attracts thousands of boys and girls with melancholy songs and inspires Shane's dream of becoming a star. He once wanted to form a four-person band named "SC4" with his classmates Mark and Micheal Garret after graduating from college. He found Kian, a lovely blond boy, who was playing with heavy metals at that time, but they still came together for the same ideal.
Soon, Derek Larey and Graham Keighron from the same school also joined the band, and the six of them changed their names to I.O.U Soon, they released the first single written by Shane * * *(Mark * * * *, named Together Girl Forever. Unfortunately, this is the last single of I.O.U, but the boys' ideals are getting better and better in their efforts.
Shane's mother, Mae Filan, has been in contact with Louise Walsh, the manager of Boyzone, but he is busy with the complicated affairs of Boyzone and does not intend to sign this I.O.U, but their excellent performance makes experienced Louise very sad. After careful consideration, the shrewd Louise introduced I.O.U. to ronan patrick john keating, the lead singer of "Boyzone", and hoped that this striking music angel would lead the boys of I.O.U. to success. After listening to Shane and some BSB songs they sang, Ronan's intuition told him that they would become future stars. As a result, he and Louise became * * * agents of the I.O.U Maybe Shane, Mark and Kian are too good to cover up all the light of the other three members. Louise told Shane that he just wanted to sign them. The choice between feelings and fate is always difficult. In the face of possible lost friendship, hesitation and pain are inevitable. However, listening to the call of the future, people should learn to give up something, even for a better legend.

A band with three members may miss something. Soon, after a small audition, they welcomed two other young people, Brian and Nicky, who were equally passionate. Thus, Xicheng (the original name of Westlife Xicheng) was officially born. From the hot summer of 1998, Westside began to sell itself to major record companies by singing songs by Boyz II Men, Boyzone and Take That live. Youth is capital, but it also means inexperience, because powerful large record companies are obviously unwilling to do some more uncertain business.
Gold always shines. Simon cowell, a senior consultant of BMG, was finally moved by the threat of the West Side. At the moment of signing with BMG, Simon may not even realize that he has become the biggest winner, because Westside is the kind of band that can shine as long as there is a little sunshine. On Boyzone's tour, they began to sing in public as a warm-up venue, and won the Best Newcomer Award in a sensational roadshow tour organized by Smash Hits magazine. 1at the beginning of 999, Westside accidentally discovered that there was a band with the same name in the United States on the other side of the ocean, and many West Coast products and even movies were named after it. Although it is risky to change the name suddenly when people gather a lot of popularity, this small move can't stop five young musicians from moving forward. Their future is even more dazzling with the birth of the new name "Westlife".
On April 9th, 1999, Westlife's first single "Swear Again" came out after a simple publicity. As soon as it was released, it went straight to the top of the UK singles charts (besides, their career in Asia began with the launch of Swear It Again EP in Asia in June, 1999). Soon after, the second single "If I Let You Go" and the third single "Flying Without Wings" successively topped the charts, which made Westlife, who just debuted, not only surpass Boyzone, which they had warmed up for, but also become the first band in the history of British music to release three singles in a row and win the championship. At the same time, "Flying without Wings" was surveyed by100000 British people and won the single of the year award of 1999.

The story has just begun. In June, Westlife released his first album of the same name, Westlife. The sales of platinum and 12 platinum made them conquer Britain and Ireland, and the amazing sales of 7 million copies worldwide shocked and dumped the world. The whole album is soft and lyrical, although a little cute and naive, but it has produced five champion singles in an unprecedented way. They are Swear Again, If I Let You Go, Flying without Wings, I have a dream/season in the sun, Fool Again. Among them, "I have a dream/season under the sun" is a song with double meanings. It topped the charts for four weeks in a row, becoming the last British No.1 single in the 20th century and the first 1 in the new century. On the other side of the Atlantic, "Swear It Again" ranked second in the billboard sales list in the United States, and Westlife's great musical talent was also proved in the hometown of pop music.
In September, 2000, pop diva Mariah Carey invited Westlife to sing phil collins's classic song "Going Against the Heaven" at 1984. Maria's voice of nature, combined with Westlife's gentle harmony, won their sixth number one single.
The single "My Love" released in June+10, 5438 is the title song of Westlife's second album, which not only added another champion single to them, but also tied the record of the Beatles (an influential British band in the world in the 1960s and 1970s) and became the pop band with the highest number of consecutive champions after Spice Girls (the most popular British pop band in the mid-1990s).

165438+ 10 In the golden harvest season, Westlife released their second album < Coast to Coast & gt The third album of Forever, a super girl group from the British Isles. Great challenges, the Irish indomitable soul let them create a miracle-the British album sales charts champion, more than the last album sold in the world of 8 million! Westlife completely replaced Take That and Boyzone and became the hottest idol group in Europe and even the world.
Success is not easy, and the hardships paid by five people are unknown to ordinary people.
More than a month later, the new single "What Makes a Man" was released. Although 230,747 tickets were sold in the first week, they still didn't win the championship. However, the sadness of love and sentimental feelings in the song touched the hearts of millions of people, making this song occupy the top ten singles sales list for several months in a row, becoming the highest-selling single in Westlife's history and winning the honor of gold record.
200 1 at the beginning of the new year, five energetic young people packed their bags and began their six-month global concert tour. The wonderful live performance rewarded their loyal fans with long-term enthusiasm.
200 1 In the hot summer, Westlife came to Latin America with the same enthusiasm and distributed it to Latin America.
-
The story continues. On March 5th, 200 1 year, Westlife covered Billy Chow's famous song "Uptown Girl". This single not only won the charts, which proved their status as the top band in the world, but also broke their own first-week sales record of What Makes a Man, which sold 292,365,438+08 copies a week. Faced with great success, they donated all the profits of this single to the welfare organization Comic Relief. As stars, boys still have a simple heart full of love and warmth.
200 1, 165438,1On October 5th, they released the first hit single "The Queen in My Heart" in their third new album, and with its impressive sales, they successfully won the number one single list of1.2. With an epic style, this song presents Westlife's excellent singing skills and perfect harmony, and becomes their ninth number one single and the first 10 Top 3 single, thus tying the record of the number one single of Spice Girls. However, all this is far from over.
2001112 With the ardent expectation of fans all over the world, Westlife released the third album "Our own world & gt", which beat Madonna as the champion with sales of over 300,000, which is their second Zhang Guanjun album. The new album * * * contains 19 masterpieces of the world's most popular songwriters, among which 7 songs are completely composed by members themselves. Compared with previous works, the types and performances of music are more abundant. In addition to exquisite skills and mature singing skills, soul-like singing skills are also added. Romantic and lyrical songs are still the traditional features of Westlife's albums, and many Allegro songs set off the liveliness and dynamism of young people in Westlife.
In a blink of an eye, it was another Christmas. Westlife remixed a soul-singing song "Angel" in the album just released, and shot a video as a Christmas gift for all fans!
The new album "Our Own World" released on February 18, 2002 immediately jumped to the top of the British single. At present, Westlife ranks third among the bands with the most champions. The Beatles ranked first with 17; Cliff richard in the second place has 12 songs; Westlife ranked third with 10 champion songs; Then ABBA has nine fourth songs; Rolling Stone has eight fifth songs.
Faced with such achievements and pressure, the third album
-
At the end of 2002, Westlife is going to release their first album.
However, the champion singles is only 10. How can it be 1 1? In 2002,165438+1October 4th, the first single "Unbreakable" was released in the UK as scheduled, which easily won the singles list and became the number one single of the band 1 1, which proved everything! I don't want to say that in the history of European music, there are only a handful of people who can achieve Westlife's achievements, but not many people can unite to overcome the difficulties like them.
In 2003, the average age of the band was 23 years old, two members got married, and Shane is going to get married soon at Christmas. This is the reason for their transformation. People always have to grow up and can't stick to their original achievements. Change is the only way for them to go on!
