Following on from the reissues of Everybody Else is Doing it, So Why Can’t We? and No Need to Argue – and 30 years after their debut release – UMe are proud to issue the band’s greatest-hits collection Stars: The Best of 1992–2002 on vinyl on May 27, 2022.
The Cranberries rose to international fame in the 1990s with global smashes such as Zombie”, “Dreams” and “Linger” – collected here alongside tracks from their five albums for Island – plus two tracks unavailable on other albums, “New New York” and “Stars.”
The Cranberries debut album Everybody Else Is Doing It, So Why Can’t We? was released and charted at #1 on the UK album charts in March 1993. Their second and most commercially successful album No Need To Argue was released in October 1994 and stayed on the UK charts for 98 weeks after being certified multiple platinum, making the band global superstars.
In April 2019, The Cranberries released their eighth and final album, In The End, the vocals for which had been recorded by Dolores prior to her tragic passing in 2018. Guitarist Noel Hogan confirmed its release would honor her memory. In The End reached top 10 in the UK, Ireland, Germany, France, Italy, and on the Billboard Independent Albums chart in the US. It was nominated for Best Rock Album at the 2020 Grammy Awards.
