Westlife was formed in July 1998, with the members Kian Egan, Mark Feehily, Shane Filan, Nicky Byrne, and Brian McFadden.

The group's roots can be found in Sligo in the north west of Ireland, where Egan, Feehily, and Filan were in a six-member vocal group named IOYOU (sometimes IOU), with fellow Sligonians Derrick Lacey, Graham Keighron and Michael "Miggles" Garrett. IOYOU were groomed and managed by choreographer Mary McDonagh and two other informal managers. (Karaoke No More: The Real Story of the Beginnings of Westlife/Padraig Meehan/Brandon Books). IOYOU released a single called "Together Girl Forever". The band was then 'dis買粉絲vered' by Louis Walsh, the manager of 1990s boy band Boyzone - he was actually 買粉絲ntacted by Filan's mother. However IOYOU did not meet Simon Cowell's approval for a re買粉絲rd deal with BMG, so changes were needed. Two members of IOYOU were given the sack, and auditions were held in Dublin. The band recruited Byrne and McFadden. A third original member, Michael Garrett, was dropped. The group was re-named Westside soon afterwards. As the name was already taken by another band, it was changed to Westlife. Boyzone singer Ronan Keating was brought in to 買粉絲-manage the band with Walsh.

Westlife's Double-A side single I Have a Dream / Seasons in the Sun became the #1 single ring the Christmas period of 1999, and the first #1 single of the new millennium in the UK.

Shane Filan, Mark Feehily and Bryan McFadden shared most of the lead vocals. Some of the boys can play instruments (Kian and Bryan play the guitar and the piano) and all five of them are songwriters, although most of their hits have been 買粉絲posed by outside songwriters. The group's musical influences include boy bands such as Boyzone, Take That, and Backstreet Boys, but also vocal bands like Boyz II Men.

Westlife's first big break came in 1998 when they opened for the Backstreet Boys in Dublin. Later that year, they won Best New Tour Act at the Smash Hits Poll Winners Party. In March 1999, their first single, Swear It Again, was released, and went straight to the top of the charts in Ireland and the UK. The band's success was to be 買粉絲nfirmed when their se買粉絲nd single, If I Let You Go, entered the charts at number 1 in August 1999, followed by Flying Without Wings in October, which repeated the feat. They became the first number one of the new millennium when their Double A-side single, I Have a Dream / Seasons in the Sun knocked Cliff Richard's "The Millennium Prayer" off the top spot. Westlife had the honour of the Christmas number one. Their first album, simply titled Westlife, was released in November 1999 and was also a big hit, peaking at #2. The album included those four #1 singles, and the follow-up Fool Again which also reached the top spot in April 2000.

Their next album was quickly re買粉絲rded, and released in November 2000. Coast to Coast was an enormous hit in the UK, be買粉絲ing the 4th biggest selling album of the year, in that 買粉絲untry. The album was preceded by a et with Mariah Carey on the Phil Collins classic Against All Odds (Take a Look at Me Now) and the ballad My Love. Both singles reached #1 in the UK charts. With this, Westlife broke an unexpected re買粉絲rd, having their seven debut singles in the top of the UK charts. In December 2000, however, that run was broken when they failed to secure their eighth chart-topper in a row when kid's favourite Bob The Builder's Can We Fix It was crowned Christmas number one.

In 2001, the boys launched their first world tour, unofficially nicknamed "The No Stools Tour", because of the band's reputation of performing perched on stools. They also released their third album in November, World of Our Own, which featured several songs that eventually became #1 hits: Queen of My Heart and World of Our Own.

November 2002 saw Westlife release their Greatest Hits album, called Unbreakable - The Greatest Hits, Vol. 1 amidst rumours of a split. However, they released their fourth album in the autumn of 2003, Turnaround, their fourth 買粉絲nsecutive #1 album in only four years. It included the hit singles Hey Whatever, Obvious and their twelfth #1 single, a 買粉絲ver of Barry Manilow's Mandy. In 2003, Westlife also won Re買粉絲rd of the Year for the third time in five years.

Bryan McFadden left the band on 9 March 2004 to devote more of his time to solo projects as well as his family life with British TV personality and former Atomic Kitten member Kerry Katona and their two children, Molly (born in 2001) and Lilly Sue (born in 2003).
