It's hilarious that Westlife are planning to release their new album on the same day as the Spice Girls, so the girls put their release date back!

The Spice Girls were beaten in the charts by Westlife back in 2000 so they were obviously stressing.

You've got to remember that Westlife are still going but the Spice Girls have left it too long and they look ridiculous.

There's o competition!

Oct 2007

The reigning kings of pop, Westlife, are coming 'Back Home' with their ninth album, the follow up to last year's 'The Love Album'.

Fresh from travelling the world on their all conquering 2007 tour, which took the lads to such far flung destinations as Australia and South Africa, the boys are pleased to be closer to home for the release of their first new material in twelve months.

Westlife are rightly proud of the new album. “It’s very Westlife,” says Shane, “but Westlife needed to step into 2007.”

To this end, and under the boys own instruction, new songwriters and producers have been brought in.

'Back Home' contains twelve brand new pop songs, recorded over the summer, with production credits including Quiz Larossi, Per Magnusson and Rami. Includes the lead single 'Home'.

Boyband Westlife have revealed that they don't want to start a war with The Spice Girls as both band's albums go head-to-head in the run-up to Christmas...

Westlife release their new album, Back Home, on Monday November 5 - and singer Kian Egan was reported in The Mirror as saying that The Spice Girls were 'running scared' by moving the release date of their Greatest Hits album.

He's also reported to have called Sporty Spice Mel Chisholm 'mean'.

In an exclusive interview with whatsontv.co.uk, Kian admitted: "I did say that Mel C doesn't have anything nice to say about anybody."

But the band said that they would welcome a 'friendly' chart battle.

Fellow Westlifer Mark Feehily said: "We don't care about getting into arguments with the Spice Girls," adding that any chart battle should be "a bit of fun".

Watch Westlife perform their new single, Home, on Strictly Come Dancing on Saturday night.

PRIDE of BRITAIN DAILY Mirror Awards 2007 TESCO AFTERSHOW PARTY Kian: The boys are SO much better than the Spice Girls

Westlife have turned up the heat on the Spice Girls over their simmering chart rivalry.

As well as having a dig at "mean" Mel C, the Irish boyband accused the Girls of "running scared" for bottling out of a chart challenge.

And they have been taunting the Spices to return to the original November 5 release date for their greatest hits album.

That would coincide with Westlife's Back Home CD - and last time both bands went head-to-head the Girls were roundly trounced.

The gloves were well and truly off when we caught up with Westlifers Kian Egan, Nicky Byrne and Shane Filan at the Daily Mirror's star-studded Pride of Britain Awards in London's West End, which ran into the early hours of yesterday morning.

Kian spoke out at the glitzy aftershow party, where stars including Little Britain, JK Rowling and Shirley Bassey let their hair down.

He said: "We would take great pleasure in beating the Spice Girls - especially Mel C because every time she opens her mouth something mean comes out."

Kian, 27, who was there with his stunning fiancee, ex-Hollyoaks star Jodi Albert, added: "Our album's good, we've worked hard on it and it would have been good to go head-to-head with their one.

"As far as we were concerned we were going up against them and we were up for it. But then they suddenly changed their minds. They're running scared."

And Shane added: "We hear they were worried and they've changed the date. I hope they haven't, it would be a good match.

It would be good for pop music. But we are already one up on them."

The Spices insist they were never going to release on November 5 and accuse Westlife of moving THEIR release date.

Westlife's camp dismiss that as absolute nonsense and say the boys' album is their best ever.

Earlier, guests at the Tesco-sponsored Awards were treated to a brilliant performance by The Bar Wizards from Britain's Got Talent.

And the charming Westlife lads were incredibly moved by the Pride of Britain Awards.

Shane and Nicky Byrne, who are both dads, said the children's stories touched them the most.

Nicky said: "With my twins being born premature anything about babies just tugs on my heartstrings."

With wives, partners and kids, the members of Westlife are certainly more mature than the lads who first took on the Spice Girls seven years ago.

Back then their second album, Coast To Coast, hammered the Spices' Forever by 234,000 copies to just 73,000.

Seconds out... round two!

Kian has asked us to pass on the following message in response to rumours in the press about the band splitting up:

“This was a quote taken totally out of context and we are definitely not splitting, as we have said all along, we are going to spend next year recording another album to be released the following year”.

Irish pop group Westlife broke millions of young hearts today by announcing they are going to take a break for a year.

The four members - Shane Filan, Nicky Byrne, Kian Egan and Mark Feehily - will go their separate ways for 12 months after touring with their latest album Back Home.

The record-breaking band, who have had 14 number one singles, have been at the top of their game for nine years now and feel it is time to take a break from recording and touring.

But Kian Egan promised fans this did not mean the end for the chart-topping group.

In an interview with the Sun he said: "The minute people hear we're taking a break, they are going to say we are splitting up for good - which is not true.

"Myself and Jodi are going to go and do some travelling and I'm sure the other guys have plans as well.

"It will be the first time in years that there hasn't been a Westlife album vying for the Christmas number one, which will be a bit weird, but I think we have earned the time off."

Kian said he and Jodi planned to hire a camper van and tour Australia, while Nicky and Shane will use the break to spend more time with their families.

Sligo-born Shane has one daughter, Nicole, with wife Gillian, while Nicky Bryne's wife Georgina Ahern gave birth to twin boys earlier this year.

Westlife formed in 1998 and have sold more than 36m albums worldwide, as well as winning numerous awards including Record of the Year four times.

Next month they release the new album while a new single, Home, a cover of the Michael Buble song, is due for release on October 26.

Kian said the band was proud of their new work and looking forward to the album release.

He said a world tour would follow and then the band would break up for a year.

But he insisted they would be back.

"We love Westlife and people still want to hear us, so we are not going anywhere.

"Why would we give that up?"
