Ranking The Corrs: Every Studio Album – From "Forgiven, Not Forgotten" to "Jupiter Calling"

Hey music lovers! Let's dive headfirst into the shimmering world of The Corrs, a family band that effortlessly blended Celtic folk with pop sensibilities. This isn't just a list; it's a journey through their discography, a ranking that'll hopefully spark some debate (and maybe even a few nostalgic tears). We're ranking every single one of their studio albums, from their breakout hit to their most recent release. Buckle up, it's gonna be a wild ride!

5. Jupiter Calling (2017)

Okay, let's be real. Jupiter Calling was...different. After a long hiatus, this album felt a bit like a reintroduction, but not quite the triumphant return many hoped for. It had some moments of brilliance, sure, but overall, it lacked the consistent magic of their earlier work. The production felt a little dated, and while there were some catchy tunes, it didn't quite grab me the way their other albums did. It felt like a band finding its footing again, which is understandable, but not their strongest effort.

4. In Blue (2000)

In Blue marked a shift for The Corrs. Experimenting with different genres, it veered more towards pop than their earlier Celtic-infused sound. While commercially successful, it's not their most cohesive album. Some songs are absolute bangers, like "Breathless," but others just didn't quite hit the same mark. It's a solid album, don’t get me wrong, but it's not their best work.

3. Talk on Corners (1997)

Ah, Talk on Corners. This album practically launched The Corrs into stratospheric fame! It's a beautiful blend of their signature Celtic sound with a broader pop appeal. "What Can I Do?" and "Only When I Sleep" are undeniably classic Corrs tracks; songs that are still instantly recognizable and endlessly replayable. This album cemented their place in music history, capturing a unique sound that felt both fresh and timeless. It's a near-perfect blend of pop and folk.

2. Borrowed Heaven (2004)

A slightly underrated gem. Borrowed Heaven showcases a more mature and sophisticated side of The Corrs. The songwriting is phenomenal, with lush instrumentals and powerful vocals. This is where their musical versatility truly shines. It's a less immediately catchy album than some of their others, rewarding repeated listens. If you haven't given Borrowed Heaven enough love, do yourself a favour and give it a spin. You won't be disappointed, I promise.

1. Forgiven, Not Forgotten (1995)

The undisputed champion! Forgiven, Not Forgotten is the album that started it all. It’s raw, it’s energetic, and it perfectly encapsulates the essence of The Corrs' early sound. From the soaring vocals to the infectious melodies, every song is a masterpiece. This album feels like a warm hug on a cold night, full of nostalgic charm and undeniable talent. It's their debut, and they absolutely smashed it out of the park! This album is essential listening for any music fan, period.

Honorable Mention: While not a studio album, The Corrs Unplugged deserves a shout-out. Its stripped-back arrangements showcase the raw talent of the band, highlighting the beauty of their music. Highly recommended!

So there you have it – my ranking of The Corrs' studio albums. What’s your take? Let's get that discussion going in the comments below! I'm dying to hear your opinions! Let me know if I totally missed the mark on any of these. Let's argue it out like proper music nerds!
