Westlife make history in English charts
Westlife have made history by becoming the first Irish act to simultaneously top the UK single and album charts.
‘You Raise Me Up’ sold 58,175 copies to fend off Arctic Monkeys’ ‘I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor’ while Face To Face dislodged Robbie Williams’ Intensive Care by shifting a whopping 216,879 units during its first week of release.
The quartet are also 3/1 favourites to land the Christmas number one with their Diana Ross-assisted version of ‘When You Tell Me That You Love Me’.
