  • ノーランズ (The Nolans) は、1970年代後半から1980年代前半にかけて人気を得た、イギリス(生まれはアイルランド)の姉妹グループである。もともとクラブ歌手だったトミー・ノーランとモリーン・ブレスリンの間に生まれた2男6女が両親とともに「ザ・シンギング・ノーランズ」としてデビューしたのが始まり。その後姉妹の一部が引退し、実娘等をメンバーとする形で活動を継続していたが、2005年に解散。「あの人は今!?」などの番組で、メンバーチェンジ後の活動が紹介されたことがある。 日本では1980年に『I'm in the Mood for Dancing』(ダンシング・シスター)がオリコンのシングルチャートでは1位になり、大ヒットした。翌年、アルバム『Gotta Pull Myself Together』(恋のハッピー・デート)も1位となり、オリコンの洋楽では初めてシングル、LP、カセットの三冠王を記録した。 1991年にはJ-POPの楽曲を欧米のアーティストがカバーする、いわゆる「逆カバー」に挑戦し、同年の第33回日本レコード大賞の企画賞を受賞した。 1980年には石野真子が『恋のハッピー・デート』を、1990年にはWinkが『セクシー・ミュージック』を、2007年にはキグルミが『ダンシング・シスター』をそれぞれカバーしている。
