Westlife Plan To 'Crack' America - 16 October 2007 They have had hits in most countries across the world - clocking up a staggering 38 million album sales - but the one place Westlife haven't completely cracked is the US market. However, the boys still have that goal on their radar. "We have nobody over there pushing for us but we also didn't have the songs recently," Nicky confessed. "If there's ever an advantage of getting old in Westlife, it's the America market. For us to go any earlier we are really just a typical boy band to them. They don't know the history. "If we went on Oprah Winfrey or Jay Leno with a cracking song that market can easily open up." Shane revealed that they are thinking that the time will be right when they create their next album in two years' time. "I think we would but not at the moment," he added. "Probably in a couple of years when we've got a good enough album to it because of our plans for next year to have a year off. After that year off we plan to come back and make the best album we have ever made. Basically try and take on everyone." Credit/Source: www.thisisnorthscotland.co.uk

the US market is the only reason why BSB has sold more records than them!

it's hard to penetrate the US probably 'cos people there are more "liberated". and they're not into boybands and pop anymore unlike before.
