Westlife named greatest ever boyband in MTV poll

Westlife have been voted as the world's greatest boyband.

In a poll run by MTV to find the top boyband, the Irish group came out winners after some 12 million votes were cast.

The beat off the likes of the Beatles and Jonas Brothers to land the hefty accolade.

It's good timing for the Irishmen, with the band set to head out on a farewell tour soon as they round off their chart-busting career.

Speaking about the poll, an MTV spokesperson told the Irish Daily Mail: 

"The fans have spoken. After two weeks of intense match-ups and more than 12 million votes Westlife have come out on top in MTV's Battle of the Boybands."
