Manbands ready for chart showdown of the year
PREPARE for the biggest chart showdown of the year - as "manbands" WESTLIFE and TAKE THAT go head to head.
TT are in New York putting the finishing touches to new album Circus Live due out on November 30. Westlife have spent a year working on their surprise new venture.
A Westlife insider told me: "Instead of ballads there will be a rockier feel. They are confident they can beat Take That."
Last time the bands went head to head was in December 2006 when Westlife's The Love Album was knocked off No.1 by Take That's comeback album Beautiful World.
At the time TT's Gary Barlow said the Irish lads, including Kian Egan, wouldn't exist without them.
A music industry insider told me: "This could get messy."
May the best band win...

Westlife To Perform At The Childline Concert
Solo Cheryl for Childline show - Girls Aloud babe's Irish debut at O2
Exclusive by Paul Martin
Pop babe Cheryl Cole will stage her first solo performance in Ireland at the Childline concert, the Irish Daily Mirror can reveal.
The Girls Aloud star has signed up for the massive event and hopes to wow fans with tracks from her new album Three Words.
Organisers were planning to keep the news secret until next month but we can reveal she will be joined by girl band arch-rivals The Saturdays at the bash.
And Ireland's biggest pop act ever, Westlife, will make their stage comeback for their first show since they thrilled a sell-out crowd at Croke Park last Summer.
A show insider revealed last night: "It's going to be the biggest Childline ever with the best line-up of stars. It's a huge coup to get Cheryl Cole making her first solo appearance in Ireland - she will be a massive draw.
"And it goes without saying that Westlife making their comeback at the O2 is a massive thing too."
Cheryl will be desperate to steal the thunder from The Saturdays who have been locked in a chart battle with Girls Aloud for the past year. A source close to the singer revealed: "There is a bit of friction between the two bands to say the least.
"The Saturdays are clearly trying to go after Girls Aloud fans so Cheryl will be out there to really steal the spotlight from them.
"I'm sure there will be an awkward moment if they bump into each other backstage."
Westlife will mark their comeback by closing the show with a series of their biggest hits and new material.
They will perform six songs including two from a new album that they will release early next year.
The band are plotting a major comeback after taking a year off to concentrate on family life.
Singer Shane Filan told the Irish Daily Mirror: "We can't wait to get back on the stage. We feel we have our strongest material for years.
"It was fantastic to have a bit of normality for a year but now we're itching to get back. Our new album is going to be entirely new music - there will be no covers."

Nicky's fears for mature manband
Westlife star Nicky Byrne fears the ageing manband may have to take things easy on stage in future - in a bid to avoid injury.
Hunky Nicky - who confessed to being left in agony after just one game of football this week - admitted he's terrified that the band is getting old.
The chart-topper, who turns 31 next month, shared his panic on his Twitter site after waking up aching following a football match.
"Played football last night - foot is aching", he tweeted. "I don't remember hurting it but I couldn't walk this morning. What's that about?"
Problem
"I remember playing three or four games a day no problem. Not now. I'm in pain.
"Is that an age thing?" asked the worried pop star." If so I wanna be 18 again."
Nicky also joked that he and bandmates Shane Filan (30), Kian Egan (29) and Mark Feehily (29) may find it difficult to get off their stools on stage.
"Pipe and slippers are calling - do you still think I can manage to stand up for the key change?" he asked.
"When we do eventually come back we'll have to be carefull getting up from our stools too quickly - with our age vertigo can be a problem.
"Better call the lads now to practise slow stand ups."

Westlife 3 Piece Perfume Gift Set - Limited Supply!
The first fantastic fragrance from Westlife is available in a gift set with a 100ml body lotion and 100ml shower gel for only £19.95!
After continually being asked by fans both on their websites and in person as well as in interviews what their favourite female fragrances were, the boys decided that perhaps they could develop a fragrance specially for the fans to thank them for their continued support over the last ten years.
Taking inspiration from their favourite feminine accords and with creative input from expert perfumers, Westlife ‘X’ was created.
The light sparkling and feminine fragrance opens with fresh crisp top notes of uplifting lemon, bergamot and blackcurrant leaf, enriched by a full floral heart of rose, geranium, white lily and heady jasmine transcending to a softly sweet and powdery base of vanilla pod and white musks.
