![]() Months later, when I was a sophomore, my class hosted a convocation program. ![]() A guitarist-boyfriend of my classmate would play the song whenever I asked for it. I also heard a disco remix of the song at home. I instantly fell in love with the song and it became one of my signature favorite songs. During a Valentine’s Day program at high school, a sophomore gave out a solo rendition of the group’s 2nd No.1 UK hit. This is the very song that sold me to Westlife this is my most favorite track from the group and one of the three soundtracks of my life in 2001. Will I ever see you smiling back at me? (oh yeah) What my life would be holding you close to me Text in blue also indicates a new addition but is a song heard years after the completion and publication of the original list.) ( Legend: Text in orange indicates a new addition to the list and is a song already heard before the completion and publication of the original list in 2010. (Author’s note: Weeks later, they released a cover of the Daughtry hit “What About Now.”)īelow is the list of my top 20 Westlife tracks: I am keeping my fingers crossed that they will be able to regain their supremacy at the UK singles charts. Westlife is one of my favorite musical acts and I would love to hear from them again. In my opinion, these are good musical acts.Īfter seeing the music video of the new Backstreet Boys’ song “Straight Through My Heart” (in late 2009), I began to expect new material from Westlife. At this moment, it is Boyzone, Westlife, Backstreet Boys, and A1 keeping the music – and the nostalgia – alive. The great boybands of the late 1990s and early 2000s were Boyzone, Westlife, Backstreet Boys, NSYNC, and A1. If ever they are still around, they ain’t boybands anymore but have become an adult contemporary vocal group or a “man band” or, in the case of one British boyband, changed music direction. I repurposed the blog post, with a new title, revised paragraphs, and additional tracks, to mark the 20th anniversary of the Guinness World Record-breaking pop vocal group from Ireland.Ģ002 was the last hurrah for boybands to take over the waves. It received only 22 views, as of July 25, 2012. Image from FlickerĪuthor’s note: Original title of this post was “My Top 15 Westlife Tracks,” first posted on MySpace on October 12, 2009.
