Talk on Corners is the second album by Irish band The Corrs, released in 1997. The name of the album is derived from a line from the albums' song "Queen of Hollywood".
After its release, songs from this album were to dominate their live set for a long time to come and through the biggest growth period of the band's career. During this album's long reign, they worked solidly with very little time off and gained a lot of exposure with TV appearances and tours. Their next studio album took nearly 3 years to materialise. In between was a live 'unplugged' album which introduced only a handful of new songs. Hence their continuing reliance on existing material, some of which became subject to rearranging or remixing along the way.
Talk on Corners was The Corrs' breakthrough album in the UK, but not initially. The first 3 single releases from the album ('Only When I Sleep', 'I Never Loved You Anyway' and 'What Can I Do') all failed to reach the top 40. Meanwhile they had contributed to the album Legacy: A Tribute To Fleetwood Mac's Rumours with their version of the song 'Dreams'. They had incorporated the song into their live set and eventually decided to release it as a single. Its release followed a live concert at the Albert Hall on 17 March 1998 (St Patrick's Day), televised by the BBC, coupled with a day-long TV special devoted to The Corrs on VH-1 as a preamble to the event. In concert, they were joined by Fleetwood Mac drummer Mick Fleetwood (who was also producer of the Legacy album) on 3 songs, including 'Dreams'. The event did much to raise the band's profile. The single 'Dreams' was released a few weeks later and the Talk on Corners album was reissued with the track 'Dreams' added. A remixed version of the single became their first UK top 10 hit, partly helped by BBC Radio One's decision to include a Corrs single on their playlist for the first time (they had previously regarded them as a folk band).
The album took off and more hit singles followed. The next was a new version of their previous single 'What Can I Do', remixed by Tin Tin Out and radically transformed by the addition of a prominent guitar riff running through the whole of each verse. This gave them their next top 10 hit. In November, they put out a further remixed track from the album as another single - 'So Young' - which also made the top 10. A 'Special Edition' version of the album was released, with a modified running order and featuring these remixes. The album also included an additional track, a remix (courtesy of Tin Tin Out again) of 'Runaway', a popular song from their first album, which was to become their next single and giving them a number 2 hit.
Talk on Corners became the UK's #1 selling album in 1998 and eventually went on to sell 2.7 million, making it one of the best selling albums of all time (in the UK). It also tops charts in at least another 17 countries. Coincidentally it is only marginally behind Fleetwood Mac's Rumours, the album that provided their breakthrough hit song in the UK.
