Our final Post of the Week topic is: what are your hopes for Westlife over the next ten years? Have your say in the forum now.
Last week we asked you which of your favourite artists or bands you’d recommend to Westlife and why. We had a great time reading your suggestions, and here’s one of our favourites, from luvin Mark Nicky.
‘I would recommend Nickelback for the lads, there music is amazing and the style differs all the time so they can do like really rocky songs but then slow ones aswell. Their music is really enjoyable just like Westlife's so i think Nickelback are not only a good band for the lads to listen to but also i think they are a great comparisson the lads as they are different but also the same as they change their style of music constantly.’

The Spice Girls were the UK’s top touring act of 2008, according to figures released by collecting society PRS For Music.

In total, UK tour revenues were up 30% to £403m in 2008.
PRS for Music chief executive Steve Porter says, “Live music is more popular than ever and therefore it is a great UK success story, generating huge revenues for UK PLC.
