'Home' Highest Selling No.3 For The Past 98 Weeks - 5 November 2007
01. Leona Lewis - Bleeding Love - 158,370
02. Take That - Rule The World - 57,146
03. Westlife - Home - 42,161
04. Timbaland feat. One Republic - Apologize - 33,242

Article shortened and only includes the parts about Westlife.

McFly’s The Heart Never Lies cannot manage to hold its position, however, and tumbles 3-10 on sales of 12,440 copies, to be replaced at number three by Westlife’s Home.

Oasis equalled Westlife’s tally of 21 consecutive Top 10 hits last week but Westlife reassert themselves as top group this week debuting at number three with Home, the first single from their new album, Back Home, which is released today (5th). Home is a cover of Michael Buble’s 2005 number 31 hit, and sold 42,161 copies last week. Where Westlife score over Oasis is that their string of hits is from their debut (Oasis missed the Top 10 with their first two hits) and all of their singles have reached the Top 5., not just the Top 10.

Home sold 42,161 copies last week - only slightly fewer copies than the 44,305 copies that immediate predecessor The Rose sold when opening at number one last November. It’s the highest sale for a number three single for 98 weeks, beating everything since The Pogues & Kirsty MacColl’s reissued Fairytale Of New York sold 54,631 copies in third position in Christmas week.
