}}'''Westlife''' is an [[Republic of Ireland|Irish]] boy group created in 1998, managed by music mogul [[Simon Cowell]]. The group has proven extremely successful in both Ireland and the [[United Kingdom]], and are also massively popular in [[Africa]], [[Australia]] and [[Asia]].
The group has had thirteen UK number ones [[single (music)|singles]] between the years [[1999]] and [[2005]], the fourth-highest such total in UK history, behind [[Elvis Presley]], [[The Beatles]], and [[Cliff Richard]]. Westlife are also the only band in UK chart history to have entered straight at number one with their first seven singles. They are also the only artiste/group to win 'Record Of The Year' in the UK four times (often attributed to their loyal fanbase).
