They are a boyband who has achieved a lot for what they are, breaking many records and selling 45 millions singles/albums. Whether someone loves them or loathes them, it can't be denied that is impressive (again, for 1 boyband).
And like I said, having no. 1 just means someone liked your music and bought, it mentioning Bob the Builder and Crazy frog are great examples. That is I why I find ridiculous that many people think it is tragic and disgrace that Westlife had so many no. 1 - people need to get over themselves, it just means their huge fanbase supported them for many years.”
