The biggest selling band of the 'noughties' is coming to the Isle of Man this summer. Westlife will bring the Manx Telecom Bay Festival to a close on Sunday, June 19. Promoter Jamie Irving says it's the perfect act to conclude the event (play audio file): Tickets for the Westlife concert go on sale next Wednesday (March 23). Westlife is an Irish pop group formed in 1998 and is the only act in British or Irish history to have its first seven singles go to number one. The group has sold over 46 million records worldwide and has had 14 number one singles in the United Kingdom. That's the third highest total in UK chart history, tying with Cliff Richard and trailing behind only Elvis Presley and The Beatles. The group was the second biggest selling artist in the United Kingdom in the last decade (behind Robbie Williams) and the biggest selling band (beating Coldplay), with 11 million album sales.
