Based on BPI certifications, the group have sold 20.2 million records and videos in the United Kingdom alone across their 14-year career–6.8 million singles, 11.9 million albums and 1.5 million videos. Their biggest selling album is their first Unbreakable compilation, followed by Coast to Coast, with six of their albums selling one million copies or more. Their biggest selling video is "Where Dreams Come True", which has sold 240,000 copies to date.[1][2][3] In 2012, the Official Charts Company listed Westlife 34th amongst the biggest-selling singles artists in British music history.[4] As of August 2015, the group has sold 50 million records worldwide. They accumulated a total of 26 top ten hits including 14 number one singles and 11 top 5 albums in the United Kingdom.[5][6][7] Despite their success worldwide, Westlife never managed to break into the United States, achieving only one hit single in 2000, "Swear It Again", which peaked at No.20 on Billboard Hot 100 and was certified Gold.
