'Come Out Ye Black And Tans' by The Wolfe Tones popping up at #5. Something to do with Irish politics. Something something nationalism something something British imperialists. I don't entirely understand what's going on but here's an article.
Also 'Yummy' is resurging as Bieber is pushing the download link on his Twitter, he's releasing limited CDs and cassettes as well and even did a 'streaming party' for the song lol. Obviously aimed at trying to get a #1 debut in the US but having some knock-on effect here too (it's back up to #6). |

Very easy to understand the tioaseach Leo Varadkar wanted to commemorate the people who lost their lives in the war of independence 1919-21 that came from the British paramilitary side of the conflict and many politicans said they would refuse to come to it due to the atrocities they caused. One of the most famous was on 'Bloody Subday' when the Black and Tans entered Croke Park in Dublin and killed a load of people with no evidence of who they were only they knew croke park being a gaa pitch would have a lot of nationalists there. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bloody_Sunday_(1920) |

It's a pleasant enough song ~ |

not the first time Irish Nationalists impacted iTunes either – "The Irish Brigade" had a #33 official chart hit with 'Roll Of Honour' in Feb 2014, I recall it was skipped on the chart show too due to its political nature.
although I don't expect this one will even go top 100 officially particularly due to its timing. |

Indeed I remember it, same week as Dapper Laughs made top 40 with 'Proper Moist' so there were two songs they couldn't play on the chart show....

It's a pleasant enough song ~ Hahah and I thought you were smart!!! It is a bit mental that it's went all the way to no1 on iTunes though due to this as it's only really been a story in the Irish media, think there may be a bit of a campaign to get it there. It's no1 and No2 in Ireland. |

Fair enough, I find it very simple.

I never here use "Irish PM" always Taoiseach also, I never use Irish Police, always Gardai, or Garda or Guards. |
