#ThrowBack Thursday: The ComeBack Corrs

It seems only right that on #TBT, we pay tribute to the #CBC; the ComeBack Corrs.
The fantastic four made a surprise appearance at The Ruby Sessions earlier this week - at which we were on hand to bring you this report; it got us rummaging through our archives for the last time the group fronted our magazine.
The last occasion they were Hot Press cover stars - together, at least - was in June 2004. At that point, they were also making a comeback of sorts, with their first studio album since In Blue catapulted them to worldwide success four years earlier; little did we know the hiatus that would follow.
In the issue, Jackie Hayden finds the siblings in rare form - though Andrea confessed it's not always rosy.
"We get irritated with each other in some situations where we're stuck together," she laughed. "Sometimes the sofa is too small for us!"
And towards the end of their natter, Jim said, "We're very aware that our strength is in the sum of the parts, and we're very comfortable with that. But you never know what the future holds."
How right he was.

Elsewhere, we were thoroughly looking forward to Euro 2004; this being a time, for our younger readers, when quadrennial trips to the continental showpiece weren't a thing.
Alongside a preview of the tournament was an interview with Ashley Cole. Just a few months before he got together with Cheryl Tweedy - and became prime tabloid fodder in the process - he told Paul Nolan of the unacceptable level of intrusion by the press.
"You don't want your private life splashed all over the papers, so you have to be careful in what you do and where you go, and behave in a responsible way. I think that level of intrusion seems to be here to stay; it’s not gonna stop so, you just have get on with it.
If only he knew... Read the full interview here.
Funnily, it's not the only example in the issue of someone whose romantic life would soon land them in a different level of fame; the Sounding Off section featured a short interview with a relatively unknown model-turned-singer; Ms Carla Bruni.
And on the charts, which of 2004's memorable anthems owned top spot? Britney, Maroon 5 and Eminem are among the big hitters in the singles chart, but they just can't knock one song off the top.
Jeez, we've come a long way in 11 years (we hope)...
