Their first album, People , was released in May 1988 and was the most successful debut album in Irish history. It reached number one in Ireland within a week and eventually reached number 2 in the UK Albums Chart . The third single off the album “Feet on the Ground” shot to number one in Ireland on 19 March 1988. The international success of the album received a boost when a music video for the first single, ” Don’t Go “, was played in the interval between contestants and the scoring in the 1988 Eurovision Song Contest . This propelled the song to number 11 in the UK Singles Chart , the highest position the band would ever achieve in this chart. In September 1988, the band appeared on the bill at the Reading Festival . In June 1989 they played at the Glastonbury Festival , and appeared there again the following year.
