Out of all their eighteen single releases, five haven't made the top spot: In order, "What Makes A Man" (number two), "Bop Bop Baby" (number five), "Tonight/Miss You Nights" (number three), "Hey Whatever" (number four) and "Obvious" (number three).

Personally I felt Allow Us To Be Frank was rather disappointing. I bought this album, Face to Face, on rather good impulse today. I have all their albums - I'm not a crazy fan, but I love their music. This album might be the album that's gonna restore Westlife to their former glory. It seems to revert back to the older "Westlife sound" - it's a great album.
The kind of music I love.
Go ahead, listen to it for yourself.
The first few songs are amazing
Westlife are brilliant, Americans just put this on and be amazed by the U.K's Backstreet Boys!
