To describe RTÉ One drama Normal People as immensely popular would be an understatement. The hit show - based on Sally Rooney's 2018 novel of the same name - has captivated audiences across Ireland with its story, straight-forward on paper but emotionally scintillating and scarring on screen.
The show has broken records as the most-streamed series in RTÉ Player's history, proving a much-needed escape to simpler times amid the global pandemic.
One aspect of the show that has undoubtedly elevated it to another level is the soundtrack. Song selection has clearly been a carefully crafted process, with the music enhancing pivotal moments of emotion and euphoria in the storyline.
