At least Madonna and The Beatles have memorable songs that nearly everyone knows even if they're not fans. Even I know a couple of Beatles songs and I don't really listen to them!

We musnt forget Elvis who now tops the UK list with 21 according to Wiki. For many years he was equal with The Beatles on 17 but Elvis had a series of reissues hitting the top.
Take That have 11 apparently. Madonna 13 and The Shadows 12 (including all the ones they backed Cliff) I cant name any Wil I am songs apart from I gotta Feeling (I think anyway) |

I think that's even more depressing. 14/15 No 1 singles and hardly anyone apart from hardcore fans can remember any of them?!

yes HATING AND BITTER... exactly you are, symptoms are very visible and felt indeed! This is not a thread made for westlife, and yet you are very much consistent in inserting your HATE and BITTER comments to the lads.. isn't that hating and bitterness?? haha you are right, this is not a youtube comment section.. so please stop the never ending hate comments for westlife, THEY HAVE ALREADY DISBANDED, 14 number 1s accumulated already, so move on! you might not remembered any songs from them, but do not stereotype, because not all people in the world are like you.. remember they will not achieve that for nothing.. :P Quote:
I don't care for Westlife really, but I do honestly get fed up of the constant hatred they receive whenever their name is mentioned on the Internet somewhere. They had a lot of #1s, people just need to get over it. It's not that big a deal.

Apparently, Take That, The Shadows, Madonna, Cliff Richard, Westlife, The Beatles and Elvis. Before I looked at that list, McFly and Eminem sprang to mind as being artists that have had quite a few. |

Will. I. Am.'s 10th number one is a sad moment.
Amazing how far popular chart music has fallen. |

At least Madonna and The Beatles wrote their hits, or were part of the creative process. Westlife are a bad karaoke act - meant for cruise ships and yet unleashed on the charts.

Melanie C has had 12 #1s over the years - although one of these is as part of the Collective single she sang on in 2012. Not bad going though!

westlfe were just a second rate boyzone
sadly, unfortunately (for you) they were two times more successful than boyzone, and any other boyband that came in their time. 14 number 1 singles, worlwide fame, almost 50 million record sales, uk best selling band of the decade and tagged as one of the most successful boiyband. things that we cannot erase.. so we just need to accept and move on. sorry for that. |

How the hell has this turn into Westlife bashing, I just don't get it. I won't argue with anyone, I will just say I am a fan and I'm not ashamed of that - they had 14 no. 1, that is a fact and no one can take that away from them. Having no. 1 basically means people love your music and they want to support you. I hated that they recorded so many covers, but the funny thing is, no one would have said a word if they just hadn't released them as singles. BUT many obviously loved those covers as well or else they wouldn't have had so many no. 1's. And guess what? Michael Buble does covers ALL the time apart from 5 original songs, and yet he is adored by many.
Westlife seriously have so much hate these days which is actually sad since they disbanded 2 years ago. They don't exist so why get so worked up and just enjoy in bashing a band that doesn't exist anymore? And it's very much unfair to compare Shane's career with Westlife's - it doesn't mean they "have fallen", solo career and a band are 2 different things. As I said, no one can take away what they have achieved as Westlife, no matter how much people hate that. |
