I have to agree with what Kristin says. I can't understand how UATW only ended up at No8. I love "Bop Bop Baby", that ended No5. But UATW is a much better song. Ah well, I'll always love Westlife regardless of chart-positions.

this is what happens when they put out a single while they're on tour. They haven't been able to do all the tv shows, like they usually do the week of release. Lots of people I know had no idea they even had a single out! This happened with Bop Bop Baby, which should have done a lot better than it did. Also, it's getting harder to buy singles now. Places like Woolworths, Tesco, Asda aren't doing them any more, I have to preorder mine every time now as there's nowhere left for me to buy them!

i always buy mine in HMV they always have singles
number 8 is shocking really considering in 10 years they have never had a single outside the top 5 bet the critics are loving this. at the end of the day us fans are the ones who buy there music so its only us to blame or those who didnt buy it and the lack of promotion but hey what ya gunna do jus hope they dont take it to heart ;D

I agree, Charlie. It's sad that they didn't get to do much promo for the single, but I don't think that is the whole reason alone. I think there's more to it than just lack of promotion. The song is truly amazing, and I think it deserved to have a higher chart position than what it got. But regardless of chart positions, I'll always be a Westlife-fan.

Okay, NOW I am slightly confused. You guys are saying the single dropped to No26, but that is not what I have heard. Shane Filan NL has a news piece about the single dropping to No18.

I think people are spending their money on the tour and merchandise - and not buying the single when it is on the album. Personally I have never gone by chart positions to prove how good a single is, but from the record companies point of view that is what they will be looking at. Hopefully they realise the fans love the single and the chart position doesn't reflect what we think. I think they should have kept the original release date which would have made more sense.... or perhaps released it before the boys went on tour. I was certain this would be their 15th number one and the fact they dedicated the song to the fans. I will be screaming extra loud when they sing this on tour.
