They were signed by Simon Cowell and are managed by Louis Walsh. In 2008, they were declared as Republic of Ireland's ninth-richest celebrities under 30 years old and 13th in general. They garnered 14 number one singles in the United Kingdom, the third-highest in UK history, tying with Cliff Richard and trailing behind only Elvis Presley and The Beatles. The group has also broken a few top records, including "Music artist with most consecutive number 1's in the UK" and the "Biggest selling arena act in the Wembley Arena".
Over years of their career, Westlife's music has evolved from teen pop to a pop sound, with an emphasis on ballads. Most of the group's hits have been composed by experienced songwriters, most notably Steve Mac and Wayne Hector.
On 1 June 2008, Westlife marked their 10th anniversary with a concert in Croke Park, Dublin which saw more than 83,000 fans attending the special occasion. Music Week revealed on their website that Westlife is the official third top touring act within the years 2005–2008, while they were 7th top touring act of 2008.
They have announced that they are to split in 2012 after 14 years following a final tour.

Westlife Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Down from the sky
I want to live a day
That never dies
I want to change the world
Only for you
All the impossible
I want to do
I want to hold you close
Under the rain
I want to kiss your smile
And feel the pain
I know what's beautiful
Looking at you
In a world of lies
You are the truth
And baby
Every time you touch me
I become a hero
I'll make you safe
No matter where you are
And give you
Everything you ask for
Nothing is above me
I'm shining like a candle in the dark
When you tell me that you love me
I want to make you see
Just what I was
Show you the loneliness
And what it does
You walked into my life
To stop my tears
Everything's easy now
I have you here
And baby
Every time you touch me
I become a hero
I'll make you safe
No matter where you are
And give you
Everything you ask for
Nothing is above me
I'm shining like a candle in the dark
When you tell me that you love me
In a world without you
I would always hunger
All I need is your love to make me stronger
And baby
Every time you touch me
I become a hero
I'll make you safe
No matter where you are
And give you
Everything you ask for
Nothing is above me
I'm shining like a candle in the dark
When you tell me that you love me
You love me
When you tell me that you love me

"Tell Me It's Love"
After all the lights come down
And the circus has left town
Will you be the one I can count on
Will you be around
When the stage is dark and empty
And the last song has been sung
Will the love you feel still be as strong
To help me carry on
Let me know the words inside you, say I do
Tell me it's love it's all I want to hear you say
That we're in love, that you're always gonna feel this way
No matter what, no matter when
You know I'd do it all again
Tell me it's love
Say I'm the one
When it's easier to walk away
Are you strong enough to turn the page
Do you know how to begin again
Would you let me in
I'd get through anything I had to if I've got you
Tell me it's love it's all I want to hear you say
That we're in love, that you're always gonna feel this way
No matter what, no matter when
You know I'd do it all again
Tell me it's love
Say I'm the one
'Cause you know I want nothing else
But to have you to myself
Your love is all I ever knew
If you feel it let me know the words inside you
Say I do
Tell me it's love that's all I want to hear you say
That we're in love, that you're always gonna feel this way
No matter what, no matter when
You know I'd do it all again
Tell me it's love
Say I'm the one that's all I want to hear you say
That we're in love, that you're always gonna feel this way
No matter what, no matter when
You know I'd do it all again
Tell me it's love
Say I'm the one
