The Corrs are leading Irish act in UK all time Top 50

Well, what can I say!

I was both delighted and surprised to read that Talk On Corners was the biggest selling Irish album in the UK over the past 50 years!

I’m lost for words right now, so I’ll let the hotpress article do the rest of the talking:

“The Corrs’ Talk On Corners is the biggest selling Irish album in the UK over the past 50 years.

It also ranks as the No.20 best selling album of all time in the UK, a remarkable achievement for the Dundalk band, which accurately reflects the scale of their impact across the water.“

    That´s really great news! Congratulations! We really miss you guys, but I wishing you Sharon all the best on your career. Greetings from Sweden.

    Does it really surprise you? To be honest all the people always talk about U2 but TOC is one of the best albums ever!! I'm sure if you look for the numbers in Spain, The Corrs are the best sellers from the UK and Ireland too!
  • martaAWTC
    I was right!! the 38º biggest selling album EVER in Spain (in 2007). And the 6º one in English (just below Spice Girls, BSB, Phil Collins, Whitney Houston and Michael Jackson)... I think it's pretty awesome for a non English-speaking country!! (FNF is the 185º)
