Irish pop group Westlife has released “25 - The Ultimate Collection,” a compilation album marking the band’s 25th anniversary.
The album includes 21 tracks from the group’s catalog, including “You Raise Me Up,” “Uptown Girl” and “Flying Without Wings,” alongside newly recorded material from members Shane Filan, Nicky Byrne, Kian Egan and Mark Feehily.
Among the new songs featured on the release are “Chariot,” written by Ed Sheeran, Johnny McDaid and Will Reynolds, and co-written and produced by Steve Mac, as well as “Your Love Amazes Me.”
The group also announced additional dates for “Westlife 25: The Anniversary World Tour,” which will include performances across Asia, Mexico, Scandinavia, Australia and New Zealand.
The tour begins with a 13-date residency at Dublin’s 3Arena in September this year before continuing through the United Kingdom and Europe. New tour dates include a Jan. 20, 2027 stop at the Mall of Asia Arena in Manila.
“What better way to mark 25 years of Westlife than with an album that brings together our biggest hits alongside new music we’re so proud of,” the group said in a statement. “We’re excited to head out on a global tour and celebrate these songs with the fans who’ve made it all possible.”
Westlife has achieved 36 No. 1 albums worldwide and 14 UK No. 1 singles over the past 25 years. The band has also sold more than 55 million records globally and performed more than 200 shows across 30 countries since reuniting in 2019.
