There is more than one band with this name. 1. Five (formerly styled 5ive) were a British boy band formed in 1997, created by the two men who had created the Spice Girls - Bob and Chris Herbert. The five lads - Richard 'Abs' Breen, Jason 'J' Brown, Ritchie Neville, Scott Robinson and Sean Conlon - were the five members picked from over 3,000 hopefuls at auditions in early 1997. They went on to have ten top 10 hits in the UK and three number 1's, and enjoyed marginal success worldwide, particularly in parts of Europe and in Australia. Five disbanded on 27 September 2001.

Brian Nicholas McFadden (born on 12 April 1980 in Dublin, Ireland), is an Irish singer-songwriter who rose to fame in the late 90s as a member of the multi-million selling Irish male band, Westlife. He is now a judge on Australia's Got Talent. In June 1998, McFadden auditioned for the new Irish male band (at the time), Westlife with Nicky Byrne and eventually both joined the group alongside Kian Egan, Mark Feehily and Shane Filan.

Westlife is a four piece Irish vocal group composed of Shane Filan, Mark Feehily, Nicky Byrne and Kian Egan. They have had 14 #1 singles grace UK charts to date, which puts them third behind only Elvis and The Beatles. Westlife is the only group to have their first 7 singles debut at #1 on UK charts. They have proven successful around the world except in the United States, where they have a sparse fanbase in spite of their A&R manager, Simon Cowell's fame.
