------
The line of Irish pop and rock successes is getting longer. Last year
witnessed the emergence of one record-breaking Irish pop act,
B*witched, and the international commercial consolidation of another,
The Corrs.
Boyzone raised the ante yet again with a string of chart hits, U2
released the first of a series of Greatest Hits records and Ash, along
with U2's Bono and The Edge, seized the day as well as the youth vote
for the Good Friday peace referendum.
Pencilled in for release throughout 1999 are records from The
Cranberries, Sin�ad O'Connor, U2, Enya, a Greatest Hits collection
from Boyzone, and (probably) another hat-trick of No 1s from
B*witched. What this means is that up to the end of 1999 at least,
notwithstanding further success from new Irish
acts, the majority of the world will once again be singing an Irish
song.
