WHAT more can we say about last weekend. It was just incredible to go
straight to Number One in the UK with Fool Again.
Even now, as I write this column for the Sunday World, it's just hard to
believe that Westlife have created pop history by scoring five straight hits
in a row.
It's all happening so fast, but it was Boyzone who opened the door for all
the Irish pop acts and we'll always be grateful to them.
Ronan has been brilliant to us and he was the first to congratulate us when
the news came through last Sunday. It was such a nerve racking experience as
we didn't know until the final moment whether or not we were going to do it.
There were lots of trips to the loo on Sunday morning I can tell you.
Unfortunately, we didn't have time to go home and celebrate because of
commitments in America. We were jumping around the plane on the way out -
it's a wonder it didn't crash!
It's crazy over here at the moment as we're promoting our American single,
Swear It Again, which is already in the charts and moving up week by week.
We're hopping from one plane to another, doing interview after interview,
but enjoying every minute of it. Give you all the details on our Stateside
trip next week. Don't miss it.
CONGRATULATIONS to Linda O'Connell from Ballincollig, Co Cork, who is the
lucky winner of the first two tickets for our very first concert at Dublin's
Point Depot next March 19.
Linda will also receive two Westlife goodie packs with lots and lots of our
stuff to accompany her tickets. So she can pass a ticket and goodie pack on
to a family member or friend.
Like Nicky said last week, as the Point gigs next year will be our first
every full concerts at home, they're going to be very, very special.
I'M your Number One fan. I've got clippings Out of magazines and newspapers.
When I found out you had a column of your own in the Sunday World I was very
happy. My favourite singles are If I Let You Go and Fool Again.
Marie Boyle, Meath Hill, Co Meath.
WESTLIFE, I love you so much. You are the five best looking and best singers
in Ireland, in the world even. I get so excited every time I see you on the
telly. My sister met Bryan and Nicky in an airport in England (she is so
lucky). She got your autograph for me. I'll support you always. Please come
to Limerick sometime soon. Everyone down here loves you.

Live And Kicking magazine and it's the size of your bedroom door. I love
you.

I LOVE your video. Bryan, your impressions are so cool. I was shocked to see
Nicky at Home Farm. I support Everton and I went to Home Farm lots of times.
I wonder if you were there, Nicky? I think Mark is the sexiest man alive.
