In 2005, the band went on hiatus for a decade in order to raise their children and work on side projects. Whilst not as popular here in the US, they have had some success, particularly following their 1999 performance on MTV Unplugged and their subsequent third studio album, In Blue, which reached Number 21 on US album charts and was certified Platinum.
Their initial popularity stemmed from roles as musicians in the 1991 film The Commitments, a quirky story about a band of Irish misfits who come together and form “the world’s hardest working band.” Though it took a few years for them to find success, their debut 1995 album Forgiven, Not Forgotten was a smash hit around the world. They formed a quartet in 1990, when Jim and Sharon added the other two siblings to their group. Hailing from Dundalk, County Louth, Ireland, The Corrs are a foursome of siblings Andrea, Caroline, Jim, and Sharon. Irish family band The Corrs has built a successful career in Europe, with 40 million records sold and multiple Number 1 hits.
