Background[edit]
The band said that Coast to Coast was a step up from their first album. Coast to
Coast has more variety than their first album.[3] In an interview with the band, Shane
Filan said that the album title, Coast to Coast was taken from one line of their song, "My
Love" ('overseas from coast to coast') and also because they're from the two coast of
Ireland.[4]
Songs[edit]
Mariah Carey re-released the song "Against All Odds" in collaboration with the band.
The song was released as the first single from this album. The song was released in
September 2000, a few months after Carey's solo version. "My Love" was released on
31 October 2000 as the second single from this album. It debuted at number one on
the UK Singles Chart and become the band's seventh UK number one. "What Makes a
Man" was released on 18 December 2000 as the third single from this album. It peaked
at number two and was their first single not to peak at number one on the UK Singles
Chart.
"I Lay My Love on You" was released as the fourth single from this album. It was
released in many parts of the world, including Australia, Asia and most notably Europe,
excluding the UK and Ireland. "When You're Looking Like That" was released on 19
September 2001 as the fifth and final single from this album in Australia, Asia, Latin
America, and—most notably—Europe. The song "Angel's Wings" was written by Steve
Mac, Wayne Hector and Jimmy MacCarthy. The band said the song was about a
newborn baby.[5] On band member Shane Filan's 2018 interview, he said the track
"Close" is the most underrated song of Westlife, described it as a "great song" and
wondered why it has never been released as a single. [6]
Critical reception[edit]
Coast to Coast received negative reviews from music critics. Andrew Lynch
from Entertainment.ie gave the album two out of five stars, calling it "just another cynical
collection of formulaic pop".[7] However, the album was reviewed more positively
at AllMusic and Rovi, who both gave the album two and half stars, comparing Westlife
to other boy bands such as Take That and Boyzone.[8]
Commercial performance[edit]
Coast to Coast entered the UK Albums Chart at number one, with 234,767 copies sold
in its first week, making it Westlife's fastest selling album to date. [9][10] The album
remained at number one for only one week,[11] being replaced by The Beatles'
compilation album 1. In April 2011, the album was certified six times Platinum by
the British Phonographic Industry for shipments of nearly two million copies in the
United Kingdom.[12] Up to November 2011, the album had sold 1,685,971 copies in the
United Kingdom, becoming Westlife's biggest-selling studio album there. [13] A gold sales
award disc was issued to the band to commemorate sales in excess of 115,000 copies
sold in Mexico.[14] The album was also certified Gold in Brazil by ABPD, for sales of over
100,000 copies.[15]
Where Dreams Come True Tour[edit]

Main article: Where Dreams Come True Tour
The Where Dreams Come True Tour was the second concert tour by Westlife in
support of their second studio album, Coast to Coast. It was seen by 600,000 fans and
was nicknamed "The No Stools Tour" due to the band's reputation of performing while
perched on stools.
