Westlife to perform in Taiwan again

After half a year, Westlife is returning to Taiwan once again for their September 10 concert at the Taipei International Convention Center (TICC).
Their stop in Taiwan will be part of their Asia tour, which includes shows in the Philippines, Korea, Hong Kong, Singapore and Indonesia.

September will be Westlife's fifth time in Taiwan, this time promoting their latest album "Face to Face."

In 2005, the band's cover of the Secret Garden song "You Raise Me Up" hit number one in the UK charts, simultaneously with the album it came from, "Face to Face." It was the first time the band ever held top album and single in the same week.

The Irish sensation's success started in August 1999 when their second single, "If I Let You Go," entered the charts at number one. "Flying Without Wings," in 2000, and "My Love," in 2003, were among many of their chart-topping hits throughout the years.

With seven multi-platinum albums, Westlife has sold nearly 40 million albums worldwide. Their achievements in the music industry arena have been nothing less than remarkable. Between 1999 and 2005, the band has had 13 UK number one singles and is the only group in UK chart history to have had their first seven singles go straight to number one.

Their number ones singles total ranks fourth-highest in the UK, behind music history-making artists Elvis Presley, The Beatles and Cliff Richard.

Even heavyweight boxer Mike Tyson is a fan of Westlife music, which he described as chicken soup for the soul or a relaxing spa experience.

"Face to Face" has sold 20,000 albums in Taiwan since its release last year.

Taiwan fans have been rushing to get the best seats, sometimes buying up to 50 tickets at a time. Tickets for the September 10 concert have been on sale since July 30, ranging from NT$1000 to NT$3500. To buy tickets, call (02)-23419898 or visit http://www.ticket.com.tw.
