Not really an important market besides albums/touring if you can do stadium dates but still
It was larger than New Zealand and Turkey (and only slightly smaller than Argentina) in 2010. IRMA doesn't publish its single certifications, but commerative disks are presented to labels/artists upon request.
Not really a great achievement (I live in Ireland) Most people here don't even buy music, they ilegally download it usually
But if you can sell out a stadium here, that's extremely impressive. No big pop acts have sold out a stadium here
besides Michael Bublé and One Direction (1D sold out 2 nights in croke park here that's like a combined total of
164,000)
