With 14 UK number one singles and eight number one albums behind them, Irish group Westlife are the most successful boyband in British chart history.

Only Elvis Presley and The Beatles have produced more chart topping singles than the boyband, currently made up of Nicky Byrne, Shane Filan, Kian Egan and Mark Feehily, with their late-1990s and early 2000s heyday seeing them top the charts with songs such as Flying Without Wings, You Raise Me Up and If I Let You Go.
