In the 13 years Ronan Keating has been centre stage in the pop music pavilion, he has released nine critically-acclaimed albums, sold over 20 million records, earned a place in the Guinness Book of World Records for the longest complete run of top 10 singles in the UK and, along the way, transformed from boyband pin-up to one of the most iconic pop personalities of our generation.

His stellar career took off in 1993 when he successfully auditioned for Boyzone – a five-piece boyband from the northside of Dublin, who would, in the years that followed, transform from boyband to phenomenon, to reach the highest echelon of international pop stardom. A unique charm and distinctive vocal ability won Ronan the position of Boyzone’s frontman and provided him with a platform upon which to launch a solo career in the late 1990s, a career that gave him a whole new legion of fans and prompted his rise to megastardom.

When You Say Nothing At All, the stunning ballad from Richard Curtis’s romantic comedy, Notting Hill, helped Ronan hit on a winning formula when it debuted at number one in July 1999 in the Irish and British charts. Within weeks, it was occupying a top five position in dozens of territories across the globe. Its success was just first in a line of remarkable musical achievements. When You Say Nothing At All was taken from the album Ronan , which spawned a trove of chart-topping tracks. The instantly recognisable Life is a Rollercoaster, released in the summer of 2000, cemented Ronan’s position as a respected solo artist while its follow-up, The Way You Make Me Feel, was recorded with Bryan Adams, one of Ronan’s central artistic influences.
