Irish Women In Harmony’s cover of Dreams by The Cranberries, released earlier this year, captured the hearts of the nation. A collective of Irish female artists came together while physically apart to create something powerful, in an effort to raise awareness and support for women in need. All of this, during one of the most challenging periods of our generation. The track lifted spirits across the country, with many echoing the words, ‘it’s not a song, it’s a movement’.

In its first week, the single hit number 1 in the official homegrown chart, making the group the first female act ever to do so. It was also the highest new entry in the official charts at number 15, making Irish Women In Harmony the first female Irish act to break the Top 20 in over 10 years. Dreams was also number 2 in the Irish airplay chart and number 1 in the Breaking Tunes chart. The track has just passed 3 million streams on Spotify and the group have almost 300,000 Spotify monthly listeners. 

Irish Women In Harmony were thrilled to raise much needed awareness and over a quarter of a million euro for Safe Ireland through the release of ‘Dreams’ earlier this year. All profits from streams and downloads of ‘Dreams’ will continue to go to Safe Ireland, always.
