Westlife adalah sebuah grup musik dari Irlandia yang beranggotakan Shane Filan, Kian Egan, Nicky Byrne, dan Mark Feehily. Satu anggota lainnya, Bryan McFadden, keluar pada 9 Maret 2004 agar dapat meluangkan lebih banyak waktu untuk kehidupan keluarganya dengan mantan anggota Atomic Kitten, Kerry Katona, meski mereka kemudian berpisah dan dia mengganti ejaan nama depannya menjadi 'Brian'.
Band ini terbukti sukses di Irlandia dan Britania Raya, dengan keberhasilannya mencetak 13 single nomor satu antara tahun 1999 dan 2005, antara lain:
  • "Swear It Again" (1999)
  • "If I Let You Go" (1999)
  • "Flying Without Wings", dengan BoA (dimuat di lagu tema film Pokémon 2000) (1999)
  • "I Have a Dream"/"Seasons In The Sun" (cover dari ABBA dan Terry Jacks) (1999)
  • "Fool Again" (2000)
  • "Against All Odds (Take A Look At Me Now)" (duet dengan Mariah Carey) (cover dari Phil Collins) (2000)
  • "My Love" (2000)
  • "Uptown Girl" (cover dari Billy Joel) (2001)
  • "Queen Of My Heart" (2001)
  • "Try Again" (2001)
  • "World of Our Own" (2002)
  • "Unbreakable" (2002)
  • "Mandy" (cover dari Barry Manilow) (2003)
  • "You Raise Me Up" (2005)
Tidak semua single yang mereka buat mencapai peringkat pertama di tangga lagu Britania Raya:
  • "What Makes a Man" (2000) #2
  • "Bop Bop Baby" (2002) #5
  • "Tonight/Miss You Nights" (2003) #3
  • "Hey Whatever" (2003) #4
  • "Obvious" (2004) #3
Westlife juga empat kali berturut-turut memenangkan penghargaan "Record of the Year" ITV dengan single mereka "Flying Without Wings", "My Love", "Mandy", dan "You Raise Me Up". Di Indonesia album perdana mereka berhasil mendapat penghargaan 20 kali platinum untuk penjualan lebih dari satu juta kopi. Westlife memegang rekor untuk album asing terlaris dalam sejarah musik Indonesia dan juga merupakan satu-satunya artis internasional yang mampu menjual sebuah album di atas satu juta unit di wilayah Indonesia.[1][2]
Westlife tidak berhasil menembus industri permusikan di Amerika Serikat, walaupun single perdana mereka, "Swear it Again", pada waktu itu cukup populer di radio dan MTV AS. Pada acara MTV TRL, video klip "Swear it Again" pernah diminta beberapa kali, dan masuk pada chart "hot 100" di salah satu majalah di AS (Billboard Magazine) edisi musim panas di urutan ke-20.
Hingga kini mereka belum berhasil meraih kesuksesan serupa di AS. Album debut mereka gagal setelah dirilis pada 2000 dan itulah satu-satunya album mereka yang dirilis di sana. Hal tersebut tidak berarti tidak ada perkembangan fans Westlife di sana. Band ini juga sangat terkenal di Asia, Eropa, Australia, dan beberapa negara di Amerika selain AS.
Seperti boyband lainnya, album-album mereka ditujukan kepada para remaja perempuan, walaupun ada juga fan mereka yang pria (kurang lebih sebesar 20% fan dari Westlife adalah pria). Beberapa kali Westlife pernah tampil di beberapa tempat komunitas gay.

Storyline

Rick Grimes is a former police officer who has been in a coma for several months after being shot whilst on duty. When he wakes, he discovers that the world has been taken over by Zombies, and that he seems to be the only person still alive. Having returned home to discover his wife and son missing, he heads for Atlanta to search for his family. Narrowly escaping death at the hands of the Zombies on arrival in Atlanta, he is aided by another survivor Glenn who takes Rick to a camp outside the town. There Rick finds his wife Lori and son Carl. Along with his partner and best friend Shane, he founds a small group of survivors who struggle to fend off the zombie hordes, as well as competing with other survivor groups who are prepared to do whatever it takes to survive.
