Westlife win battle of bands with "Love Album"

LONDON (Reuters) - Irish boy band Westlife were the surprise winners of a high-profile battle to top the album charts on Sunday, beating Oasis, the Beatles and U2 to the top spot.

Westlife's collection of covers, "The Love Album", outsold greatest hits albums from Oasis and U2 as well as the similarly named "Love", a medley of remixed Beatles songs, the Official UK Charts Company said.

The four albums were all released this week in anticipation of strong sales ahead of Christmas, with many industry observers expecting Oasis's "Stop The Clocks" to top the pile.

In the end Oasis had to be content with second place, ahead of the Beatles at number three and "U218 Singles" from U2 at number four.



In the singles chart, reformed boy band Take That climbed three places to score their first number one for a decade with "Patience".

The group -- which launched the career of Robbie Williams -- sold 25 million records worldwide before breaking up in 1996.

Ex-Spice Girl Emma Bunton was the week's biggest climber, soaring 21 places to number three with a cover of the Petula Clark hit "Downtown" -- the official single for the BBC's Children In Need fundraiser.

Take That And Westlife Claim UK Chart Top Spots

Westlife have won the chart battle of the bands to take the number one album spot this week, with their The Love Album. Completely mystyfing critics, the Irish boy band beat best of albums from some of the best bands in the world, U2 and Oasis, to claim the top spot. The Beatles Love album was also fended off, managing to get a number three position. Oasis's incredible Stop The Clocks album charted in second place at number two, followed by the Beatles at three, while U2 entered the chart at number four with their U218 Singles Greatest Hits album.

However, U2 and Oasis are expected to sell more copies overall over the long-term, but with young girls dashing out to the shops to buy the Westlife album, they've ensured the number one. Meanwhile Westlife's single, The Rose, fell two places to number five.

Another boy band, Take That, claimed the top spot in the UK singles chart with new single Patience, crowning their comeback with their first number one single in over ten years. Their first chart topper was Pray back in 1993 and with seven other number one's since then, Patience is the boys' ninth number one single.

After a sell out tour, the reunited Take That boys climbed the chart from number four last week, which was based on downloads only. Now, with the single released on all formats, it's made it to number one and Take That can party again. The Take That boys release their new album, Beautiful World this week.

WESTLIFE BEAT THE BEATLES & OUTSELL OASIS
The Famous Five out do The Fab Four

In a week where record companies gear up for the Christmas shopping rush a host of eagerly awaited new albums debuted at the top of the UK charts. The fight for top billing was supposed to be between the British/Irish super-groups; U2 with their 'U218 Singles', Oasis with 'Stop the Clocks' and the bookies' favourites, The Beatles with 'The Love Album' but another Irish band, Westlife has stolen the show.

The band from Sligo beat Mancunians Oasis into second place with The Beatles only managing a top three finish. Fellow Irishmen, U2, grab fourth place displacing last week's number one album, 'Twenty Five' from George Michael, which slips to five.

There are new entries further down the chart for Akon with 'Konvicted' at 22, Lemar's 'The Truth About Love' debuts at 32 and The Foo Fighters return to the album charts with 'Skin and Bone'at 35.

In contrast the singles chart this week failed to provide any new blood to the top ten with the oldest boy-band on the block, Take That, rising three to take top spot.

The highest slot for any of the new entries belongs to Nelly Furtado at 13 closely followed by The Red Hot Chilli Peppers at 16.

The longest-serving single on the charts at a remarkable 24 weeks is Shakira Ft Wyclef Jean with Hips Don't Lie.
