Westlife: 'We're over breaking America'
Westlife have insisted that they are no longer concerned with breaking America.
The Irish boyband cracked the US Top 20 with their debut single 'Swear It Again' in 2000, but have never scored a follow-up hit across the pond.
Their latest album Where We Are features production from several prestigious American producers, including Ryan Tedder and Brian Kennedy, prompting rumours that they are plotting another assault on the lucrative US market.
However, group member Mark Feehily claimed that this is merely a coincidence.
"We looked outside the box on this album and that brought us to America as well as other places in the world - London, Ireland, everywhere. It wasn't a conscious decision to break the States or anything," he told DS.
"With America, we're over the fact that we haven't broken it. If it ever comes up as an opportunity, we'll definitely take it, but we don't design things to try and break America anymore."
Westlife's Where We Are LP charted at number two behind Susan Boyle's I Dreamed A Dream on yesterday's UK albums chart.

Westlife say they are closer than ever
Pop group Westlife have said that they are now closer than they have ever been, following recent tragedies and losses in their lives.
Speaking to Sky News, Shane Filan said that Stephen Gately's death had an impact on the group.
He said: "As a band we've got closer in the last three or four months. We're closer than we've ever been."
Advertisement"When something is taken away from you, or someone like Stephen that was looking forward to his next album, and you know he can't do that now, it kind of puts things into perspective a lot."
Group members Kian Egan and Nicky Byrne also lost their fathers in the past year.
Byrne said: "I think we're all looking forward to the next year, to be honest."
"There are times when you look back at it and think, 'Should I be enjoying myself?' That's part and parcel of it."
"It's certainly better than sitting at home and doing nothing but crying, because I've done all my crying, I just can't cry anymore."

WESTLIFE: NO 1 ALBUMS ARE MORE IMPORTANT
WESTLIFE have given up caring about No 1 singles, and their boss Simon Cowell agrees.
Despite racking up 14 chart-toppers over the decade, the Irish lads – set to crash the top 10 with new album Where We Are – believe the life of the old-fashioned single is over.
Shane Filan, 30, said: “Getting the album to No 1 is more important than having a No 1 single for us and Simon agreed.
He pushed us to make a great album. He agreed we needed to up our game and not to record as many covers. We needed to get back to making great pop music.”
The quartet’s new opus features a more mature pop sound, an idea masterminded by the X Factor guru, 50.
Shane explained: “Simon got us in with everyone we wanted to work with. And we only hired producers we haven’t worked with before.
“It shows in the quality of the music and as a result, a lot of the songs are more up-tempo.
“Simon and Louis Walsh think it’s the best album we’ve ever made.”
Westlife are back after a year out from music but they believe that in that time Simon has become even more powerful.
Shane said: “It seemed impossible for him to get any bigger. But we look at him as a record boss rather than this global superstar.
“We tease him that Westlife was always his first real success and that he made his first major millions off of us.”
