Alternative rockPop

Westlife is a Alternative rock and Pop act. Their sound grew out of Backstreet Boys, Newton Faulkner, Shaznay Lewis, NSYNC and Diana Ross. Those roots explain a lot about how Westlife arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Michael Learns to Rock, Shayne Ward, Gareth Gates, 98º and 911, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into ArrDee, No Angels, Shayne Ward, Alsou and Ruben Studdard, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 43 connections around Westlife, reaching back through Backstreet Boys and forward to ArrDee.
