THE CORRS

The Corrs are a band from Ireland, consisting of three sisters and one brother from the Corr family, Jim Corr (keyboard, guitar, backing vocals, born July 31, 1964), Sharon Corr (violin, backing vocals, born March 24, 1970), Caroline Corr (drums, bodhran, piano, backing vocals, born March 17, 1973) and Andrea Corr (lead vocals, tin whistle, born May 17, 1974), who rose to prominence in the late 1990s and have since sold more than 55 million albums worldwide.They released their first album Forgiven, Not Forgotten in 1995, which had its greatest success in Australia, Sweden, Spain and Ireland, gaining later success in the UK and in Canada. The title track, ‘The Right Time’ and ‘Runaway’ were all singles that would reach within the top ten Irish Singles Chart. Success followed in much of Europe, Asia and Australia. Two years later in 1997 a second album Talk on Corners was released which was principally popular in Ireland, eventually raising them to astonishing fame in the UK, and later success followed in much of Europe, Asia and Australia. Both albums have been certified gold in the United States.

In 1999, they recorded an Unplugged album as part of MTV’s Unplugged series. The session was recorded live on 5 October 1999 in front of an audience at Ardmore Studios, Co. Wicklow, Ireland. In 2000, following the death of their mother, Jean, in 1999, they released their third studio album In Blue, which included the song ‘No More Cry’ which Andrea, the lead vocalist along with Caroline the drummer, wrote after the loss of their mother. The hit song ‘Breathless’ from this album also allowed the band to break into the U.S. The band took a break after this, allowing time for Sharon Corr to get married, and Caroline Corr to marry and have her first child, a son, Jake. A compilation album The Best of The Corrs was released in 2001 featuring previous released songs as well as new tracks. The new single that was only released and featured in this complication is ‘Would You Be Happier’. After six months from the album’s release, it turned multi-platinum worldwide. Selling just over 17 million copies worldwide, it is The Corrs’ most successful album to date; and one of the most succesful albums to come out of Ireland.
