A new Westlife #1 hit single signals that Christmas must be on its way. The boy band's return to the top is becoming an annual tradition. This time it is with a remake of Bette Midler's "The Rose." Amazingly, this is the first time the song has been a significant pop hit in the UK. Westlife manage to prevent the Green Day - U2 collaboration on "The Saints Are Coming" from hitting the top. Look for a number of new top 10 singles next week as Akon, Justin Timberlake, Christina Aguilera, and Robbie Williams all add physical sales to their download-only releases from this week.
