98FM Toll Trolls go Platinum

The 98FM Trolls have battled their way to the number two spot in the Irish Album charts only to be beaten by Eminem. The Toll Trolls have sold over 20,000 albums through HMV outlets exclusively and have achieved Platinum status from IRMA.

The Trolls were borne out of a campaign 98FM and The Sunday World took on behalf of Dubliner's to get the Toll Bridge opened for one morning. They wouldn’t open the Toll for us but M & 50, the 98FM Toll Trolls have stayed with 98FM and produced an album all of their own for the Make a Wish Foundation.

The voices of the Toll Trolls, 98FM’s Dermot and Dave said

“We are delighted at the mania M&50 have caused in HMV's throughout Dublin, our listeners love them and we are thrilled at the contribution we have been able to make to the Make a Wish Foundation”.

Michael from HMV Henry Street said

“In all my years working for HMV I have never seen demand like this before, the Toll Trolls have out soled the next best seller by 5 to 1 since its launch! We are delighted to be a part of this Charity CD campaign that has proven to be so successful”, Cathy Elliott.
