28th June - [article taken from an Irish newspaper]
Ronan Keating is gearing up for an extraordinary chart battle -with his own band. On July 26 he releases his first solo-single, When You Say Nothing At All which is of the Notting Hill soundtrack. But on August 9, the band he co-manages, WestLife, release their single If I Let You Go. if Keating's single holds it appeal, he will stop his own band from getting to No 1. On the other hand, WestLife could knock their manager off his perch. Last night Keating admitted: "It's going to be a close call in the charts. The lads at WestLife are expecting a number one for their single, as am I for mine. It's a strange position for me to be in because, obviously, i want my first solo to do well for as long as possible. But at the same time, I want the WestLife lads to do well."
