Boy Band Week: Westlife "Flying Without Wings"

It's National Boy Band Week at Wonky Pop and we're kicking it off across the Atlantic with Westlife from the Ireland.  Founded in 1998, the band originally consisted of Nicky Byrne, Kian Egan, Mark Feehily, Shane Filan and Brian McFadden (departed from the band in 2004).  The group is the only act in British & Ireland's history to have their first seven singles go straight to number 1.  They've sold more than 44 million records worldwide and their eleventh studio album (yes, eleventh!) Gravity was released today in the UK (US tomorrow).  Flying Without Wings is one of those tearjerker ballads that you just have to play over and over again, all the while hoping that one of these boys will serenade you someday.  Fortunatley, they've all aged like a fine wine (with the exception of Brian).  Check out their first single Safe from Gravity and their incredible cover of Hoobastank's The Reason below.
