In Ireland, the group has 11 number-one albums, 16 number-one singles, and 34 top-fifty singles. They have sold more than 55 million records and are holders of four Guinness World Records. Westlife has received numerous accolades, including one World Music Award, two Brit Awards, four MTV Awards, and four Record of the Year Awards.
Their first album, simply titled Westlife, was released in November 1999 and went to No. 2 in the UK and No. 1 in Ireland. The album was the biggest chart dropper on the top 40 in UK music history when, in its 58th week on the charts, it leapt from No. 79 to No. 3 before falling to No. 37 the following week. In Scotland, the album debuted at number 6 in 1999, but subsequently peaked at number one years later in 2001.

Coast to Coast, their second album, was their first No. 1 UK album, beating the Spice Girls’ Forever album by a large margin; the chart battle was widely reported by British media. It became the country’s 4th biggest selling album of 2000. This is their second No. 1 album in Ireland.
The album was preceded by the duet with Mariah Carey “Against All Odds (Take a Look at Me Now)” and the original song “My Love” (their second Record of the Year award). Both singles reached No. 1 on the UK charts, their sixth and seventh number ones respectively.
On 12 November 2001, Westlife released their third album, World of Our Own, peaking at No. 1 in the UK and in Ireland. “Uptown Girl” (their first single to be on the List of million-selling singles in the United Kingdom), “Queen of My Heart” and “World of Our Own” were released as singles, all of which peaked at No. 1 in the UK. “Bop Bop Baby” was also released as a single and peaked at No. 5 in the UK.
