02 Six - There's A Whole Lot of Loving Going On (2002) 1
01 Matt Cardle - When We Collide (2010) 1
...really? What a bizarre top five - Hozier, two UK reality TV winners and two songs that never charted in the UK!
Why Matt Cardle out of everyone, did Irish radio really massively get behind it or something?
^ I agree apart from Hozier. He's a homegrown talent with a statement song that really penetrated the national discourse of recent years and became a huge talking point itself. The song's chart run is phenomenal - 118 weeks in the top 100 and counting (currently at #67).
I knew 'When We Collide' and 'Impossible' (and 'Hallelujah') broke through in a big way, but not to that extent. Even 'Cannonball' made the top 50! Slightly embarrassing that we're so damn basic taken by talent show winners' singles, especially seeing the trainwreck that was Six in the runner-up slot :') (Nuhdeen and her passport must be raging they missed out on that honour with 'Sound Of The Underground' nowhere to be seen).
Also surprised to see 'Cheerleader' and 'Hips Don't Lie' so high, and Shaggy's 'Angel' seems like a completely random inclusion. Knew 'Jumbo Breakfast Roll' and 'Horse Outside' were big viral novelty hits but never knew they were such commercial forces.
Interesting chart all in all. Cheers for posting it, Shaky Fan.
Thanks for the doing this, really interesting to see the contrast with the U.K. 21st century so far! Surprised Matt is #1 but I am sure by this time next year Hozier will have got there (unless some other big song pops up in 2016).
Biggest surprise for me was Little Mix's Cannonball! Didn't realise it was that popular in Ireland.
