Music Monday

It's a little under a month before my trip and what better way to spend music monday than with U2. I wouldn't call myself their biggest fan, but I have a lot of respect for those dudes. When I told my Dad I was going to Ireland, his response was: "Maybe you'll meet Bono." They are the most popular band in Ireland even today and I would say the most popular band in the world. You could fight me on that, but I don't know who else would get such a title. The main type of music in Ireland currently is what it is everywhere else I would assume. Irish Rock is pretty big, but they probably enjoy a good dose of Lady GaGa just as much as the next guy. After doing a little research (googled it) I came across the top 5 biggest selling Irish acts of all time. Strangely, I've heard of all of them.

1. U2 170+ million albums sold
2. Enya 75+ million albums sold

3. Van Morrison 55+ million albums sold

4. The Cranberries 50+ million albums sold
5.The Corrs 43+ million albums sold
