Twenty years ago this week, Dreams by the Cranberries reached its highest position of number 27 in the UK singles chart, having entered the top 40 the previous week at number 36. After one week at its peak position, the song started to slide down the chart but remained in the top 40 for another two weeks.

Dreams was released on the Island record label and was the second of nine top 40 hits for the Cranberries in the UK. It was taken from the double-platinum-selling album Everybody else is doing it, so why can’t we?, which spent one week at the top of the UK album chart.
