| Westlife plotting to attack the charts |
27 February 2009: Music mogul Louis Walsh has revealed how Westlife are busy plotting to attack the Charts after a year out of the spotlight. He told the Herald that the foursome wanted to score a sensational comeback when they return in June. As well as performing at least two dates in Croke Park, the stars want to launch a determined attack on the charts.
"The guys are all really enjoying their time out. It was great for them to spend time with their families and concentrate on their private lives," he said. "But they love performing and can't wait to get back on stage again".
The X Factor judge, who was last week named the Mayo Man of the Year, explained how he met Simon Cowell recently to jointly mastermind Westlife's return. He has already picked out at least three new songs for the guys which he reckons would prove instant hits.
And despite going for the same teeny-bopper audience, Louis dismissed claims that the group could face some competition from former Take That star Robbie Williams. After years in the wilderness, the British singer is back on the scene after returning from LA. "The guys aren't worried about the competition -- they reckon they would still outsell him any day," he added.
The band will record their new album in June and reveal their 2010 tour dates. In May band member Kian Egan will swap vows in Barbados with fiancee Jodi Albert.

5 January 2009 – The You Raise Me Up singers have been approached to stage 70 concerts towards the end of next year as part of their comeback. The band have been enjoying a year off after a decade of almost continual touring and promotion. But this offer is certain to entice them back to the big time and put them at the top of the pop world.
And Irish fans will be thrilled with their big plans for a triumphant homecoming.
The group want to stage eight nights at the new 02 which was launched amid a blaze of glitz and glamour.
A source close to the band revealed last night: “This is Westlife’s biggest-ever pay day for a tour. They will be performing in all the biggest arenas around the Ireland and the UK. The money on the table is huge – each of them will make €2 million for their work And we’re expecting the tickets to sell out in record time. The fact that the lads will have been away for a year will make people really hungry to see them again”.
Singer Shane Filan confirmed there were big plans for 2009. He told the Irish Mirror: “We want to come back with a bang. We’re really excited about the next album and know we have to make it one of our best. We’re meeting up in the new year to discuss songs for the album and put a plan together.

Each member of the band is estimated to have earned around €16 million from their dazzling success over the past decade. The band pull in a fortune from touring record sales and sponsor ship deals.
