r/Westlife

Anyone else find it weird that the ultimate collection doesn’t feature:
- new songs like hello my love, better man, starlight etc
- songs that were singles like tonight, obvious, safe etc

Surely an ultimate would essentially be a massive playlist of all their hits and not literally the same as the past 2 GHs with 4 new songs.

Talking of the 4 new songs, why didn’t they either:
- Keep the 4 songs and slowly build on them until they had enough tracks for a new album
- Release an album of b-sides with the 4 songs added to it? Would probably get a load of streams - I can’t think of any streaming app that has what becomes of the broken hearted or reason for living on.. Fans would definitely stream (and want) them

Edit: the b-side album could even get them to number one again as it’ll be new music for some fans and different to a generic GH album!

This time even I'm itching to see the lads, but it feels like it isn't worth of my time and money. I love them ever since I'm 8 years old dont get me wrong.

I will only buy those tix if Mark returns. That's it.

And to you Mark! Speedy recovery please! Westlife doesn't sound like Westlife without you! It's basically Shane and his backup singers!! But I do appreciate Kian doing some efforts to the backing vocals.

Brian, I've always wanted to have you back in the band. Whatever it takes. Don't be an aHole! Support your old pals like you did with Blue and 5ive!

There was an interview this week where Nicky said this might be the last tour, you never know what the future holds, type of thing. Did anyone else watch this? What were your thoughts? As this is a pretty big world tour, with more dates being added. It almost feels pretty final. Why not wait until 30 years?

That's it. Lack of promotion, collab with new gen influencers.

Looks like Westlife will need to sell another 10k to stay at No.1 in the UK albums!! I hope every Westlife fan buys a few more copies and also promote it further!
