The Corrs Albums Ranked
The Corrs are an Irish band that combines pop rock with traditional Irish themes within their music. The group consists of the Corr siblings, Andrea (lead vocals, tin whistle, ukulele), Sharon (violin, keyboards, vocals), Caroline (drums, percussion, piano, bodhrán, vocals), and Jim (guitar, piano, keyboards, vocals). They are from Dundalk, County Louth, Ireland. The Corrs have been actively involved in philanthropic activities. They have performed in numerous charity concerts, such as The Prince’s Trust event in 2004 and Live 8 alongside Bono of U2 in 2005. The same year, they were awarded honorary MBEs for their contributions to music and charity. The band was inactive for almost 10 years because Jim and Caroline were raising families, while Andrea and Sharon were pursuing solo careers while raising families of their own. According to Sharon, it was uncertain if and when The Corrs would reunite. Rumors of a reunion sparked an early 2015 and in a radio interview with Chris Evans in June 2015, Andrea confirmed that The Corrs were working on a new album and would play the BBC Radio 2 Live in Hyde Park festival. Their sixth studio album, White Light, was released on 27 November 2015 and was accompanied by a European tour. After two years, their seventh studio album, Jupiter Calling, was released on 10 November 2017. Here are all of The Corrs albums ranked.

10. White Light (2015)
“Pop Rock with real harmonies sung by 4 extremely talented musicians. If you like Celtic music at all you will love the Corrs, and after a 10 year break their comeback CD is a smash. Beautiful vocals woven with guitar, keyboards, violin, drums and a smattering of traditional Irish instruments for spice. Unconditional and White Light are classic Corrs pop hits to be (Breathless) and the latest instrumental “reel” is as good as anything they played at Lansdowne Road (except maybe not Toss the Feathers). A new mostly vocal offering, Ellis Island, is their tribute to the wave of Irish immigration allowed onto American shores.”
9. VH1 Presents: The Corrs Live In Dublin (2002)
“Amazing. This is a joyous, splendid collection of music and magic. It has been a long time since I have felt a tingle from a vocal performance but Andrea, Sharon, and Caroline are in wonderful form during this recording. Only Love Can Break Your Heart is rendered so well it borders on the sublime. Runaway, if you don’t have it on another recording, is worth the price of the CD alone. The instrumental piece Joy of Life/Trout in the Bath is full of life and verve.”
8. Jupiter Calling (2017)
“This is the album I’ve been waiting for the band to make. They are so good live – really get to see their musicianship stripped of the sheen & gloss of so much of their recordings. This album feels organic, mature, and showcases them at their finest. If you loved “Unplugged” (like I do), this disc will really appeal to you. If you’re looking for the shimmery pop of “In Blue” you won’t find it here.”

7. Home (2005)
“This album to me says “We’re the Corrs, and we play what we want.” I am glad they did so. It is very much the Corrs relishing and showcasing their heritage. I am sure they had a blast recording it. I always enjoy listening to it. Since I am not Irish, when I listen to this album, it takes me on a cultural journey. I especially like the songs done in Gaelic. You really can’t go wrong with the Corrs.”
6. Borrowed Heaven (2004)
“This albums is a little “harder” than the previous ones. I don’t know if that is the right word, but it is different than the other ones. It’s not “poppy” or “folky”. Basically, to me, it is just an evolution or maturing if you will. It is the Corrs expressing themselves at this particular point in their lives. The subject matter, the music. It is where they happen to be.”
5. Best Of (2001)
“”The Best of The Corrs” is a definitive collection of hits from the Irish family band. Although The Corrs have only had mild success in the U.S., they have had an endless string of Number One hits and million selling albums internationally. The Corr siblings consisting of sisters Andrea, Sharon and Caroline and brother Jim display a natural talent and an incredible gift for upbeat melodic songwriting. The band’s Irish roots come across as well especially in Sharon’s violin playing.”

4. In Blue (2000)
“This album is one of the most pop-ish sounding offerings from the Corrs. It is danceable and catchy (Breathless, Irresistible, Radio, Rebel Heart) and contemplative (Give Me a Reason, One Night, Hurt Before). When I listen to music I mainly want to be feeling good. The slower and more melancholic tunes are needed to balance out the effect, so to speak. This album does all that I want perfectly.”
3. Forgiven, Not Forgotten (1995)
“The Corrs magnificently blend very traditional Irish music (most beautifully done) with a more modern sound. The vocals are very strong, and all the instruments played to perfection. The production of each song could not have been better. If you are in any way a fan of Irish music, this is a must have. If you love to hear strong and beautiful women’s voices, again this is a must have. They have my respect.”
2. Talk On Corners (1997)
“Despite the unjustified criticism and the irrelevant insults written here by a couple of insane chaps, “Talk on Corners” deserves to be flagged as the peak of all The Corrs’ career. The highest on both mainstream relevance and creativity, carefully produced and mastered.”
1. Unplugged (1999)
“This Album shows what excellent musicians can do. A full complement of violins etc. The are no tricks this is beautiful music. Many of these songs are far better than the released album versions. If you are to only own one Corrs CD this one is the one to own. Jimi Hendrix’s “Little Wing”, Sharon and Caroline with No Frontiers, R.E.M.’s “Everybody Hurts” , … most every tune here is incredible. Old Town has that live horn. This is a collection of monumental beauty. “
