Westlife - Greatest Hits (Part 3)

Album 3 sets off to a great start and enables the band to get in an early Greatest Hits...

(11) Queen Of My Heart - #1



Easily my favourite Westlife ballads; and I don't think I'm the only one thinking that, with opening numbers which sent it shooting up Westlife's biggest sellers list and gave the boys their 9th #1.

(12) World Of Our Own - #1



After missing a trick with When You're Looking Like That on their previous album; Westlife released their first uptempo single.  Most people seemed to like it - I didn't.

(13) Bop Bop Baby - #5



They were getting a little bit more creative with their videos at this point but I think there is a reason that this became the band's first single to miss the top 2!  Need I say more.

(14) Unbreakable - #1



So the lead single off the album of the same name and Westlife were back doing what they do best!

(15) Tonight/ Miss You Nights - #3



Up to this point I had been very up to date in terms of my Westlife singles releases; but this one really did bypass my attention.  I think it very much got lost in all the Christmas hype that year and I suppose I wasn't really expecting anything else to be released from the Greatest Hits.  Miss You Nights is a Cliff Richards cover; but Tonight on the other hand is a real gem.  I remember one frosty Sunday morning my parents had got me up early for a family trip out and I was not enjoying the bitter cold, I had the chorus (or what I could remember of it) stuck in my head.
