Irish boyband Westlife have been recognised as one of the best boybands ever, by a US magazine.

The four piece, who have been together over 12 years, have only ever scored one hit in the US with 'Swear It Again'.

Entertainment weekly wrote: "Long before American Idol, Simon Cowell signed this Irish pop group. In the decade since, they've sold 40 million records and gained considerable international recognition"

It was also noted that American Idol season two winner Ruben Studdard, had a huge hit with Westlife's song 'Flying Without Wings'.

The 'Raise Me Up' singers just made the list, coming in at number 19, just behind Take That at number 16.

New Kids on the Block came third, second place went to NSync and the Jackson 5 won the top spot.

Westlife to release new greatest hits album

The foursome recently parted ways with Simon Cowell's Syco, after the boys became frustrated with his staff's decision to only release one single from their last album 'Gravity'.

After 12 years together the Irish band has moved on to RCA records and will be releasing a greatest hits album this autumn.

The first single from the much-anticipated album will be hitting the shelves on the 12th of August. The band is set to play the Marquee in Cork on July 9th where fans are expected to hear a sneak peak of the song.

Speaking to The Star, Kian Egan said: "The new single is up-tempo and very different for Westlife- Mark co-wrote it with John Shanks.

"Simon's company has become more about TV as the music industry is shrinking."

"We'd have arguments about wanting to release more than one single with Syco, and Simon wouldn't even be involved. Leaving was the best decision for us."
