Like fellow ex-boybander Robbie Williams, Boyzone’s Ronan Keating has slipped seamlessly from his band of brothers into a solo world of soulful songs and stella success.

The Dublin crooner, who joined the Boyz at the tender age of 17, has added a host of impressive credentials to his CV since leaving the band, including co-managing Westlife, a raft of UK top 10 singles, a Cosmo naked centrefold, and the 2003 Rear of the Year title.

This week Ronan’s just notched up his fourth – count them – UK number one album, Songs for My Mother. To celebrate why not relive the Boyzone years, old and new, on Vision Music, with the likes of their recent smash Love You Anyway, and their classic number one No Matter What.

And if you’ve got the boy band bug:
