Westlife - Westlife Lyrics

- Release date: November 1999 -

Westlife is the Irish boyband Westlife's debut studio album. It was released on November 1, 1999 in the UK, and contains three singles, "Swear It Again", "If I Let You Go" and "Flying Without Wings", all of which had been UK #1 singles. The album entered the UK chart at its number 2 peak, selling little over 83,000, 1,000 sales short of being number one, which was occupied by Steptacular by Steps. It was the 8th best selling of 1999 in the UK, and went on to sell four million copies worldwide. The album is currently the seventh biggest selling boyband record ever in the UK.

Overseas, it was released in the US in 2000 with a different tracklisting, adding "My Private Movie" produced by Cutfather and Joe. It remains the only Westlife album to date to chart in the US, peaking at #129 on the Billboard 200. It also peaked at #15 in Australia. "More Than Words", a cover of the original song by Extreme, was released as a single in Brazil, where it peaked at #2. In December that same year the double a-side single "I Have A Dream"/"Seasons In The Sun" became the Christmas #1 single of the year. In March 2000, the fifth and final single from the album, "Fool Again", was released and also debuted at #1. With this, Westlife achieved five #1 singles from the same album in less than a year, a record that remains unbroken to date.
