May 1, 201015 yr Author Why the hell are there Irish artists on this thread? The heading clearly says British & Irish artists. From the first post in this thread: What would the Top 40 look like if only British & Irish artists were allowed to chart, and collaborations were only allowed if a Brit was the main artist? Why the hell are Irish artists included in this thread? Are you gonna ask this question EVERY month :lol:
May 1, 201015 yr Oops, didn't know I had asked that question before :D My point still stands though. Why are Irish artists included in a thread of British 'homegrown' artists?
May 1, 201015 yr Oops, didn't know I had asked that question before :D My point still stands though. Why are Irish artists included in a thread of British 'homegrown' artists? The British Isles can technically be considered homegrown, and Ireland is part of the British Isles.

May 15, 201015 yr They are, but UK based. It's terrible how Sophie couldn't even make top 10 on a chart with all-British artists though :(
May 15, 201015 yr They are, but UK based. It's terrible how Sophie couldn't even make top 10 on a chart with all-British artists though :( She's #8 if you knock out Pendulum (Australian so they shouldn't be there anyway), Taio (features an American), Chipmunk (features a Dutch) and Alexandra (features an American).
May 15, 201015 yr She's #8 if you knock out Pendulum (Australian so they shouldn't be there anyway), Taio (features an American), Chipmunk (features a Dutch) and Alexandra (features an American). Yeah, but 'Features'.
May 15, 201015 yr Surely if you're including Pendulum (British based Australian) you have to include Aggro Santos (British based Brazilian)?
May 16, 201015 yr Yeah, but 'Features'. I know that, I'm just saying if the regime was made a bit stricter and ONLY 100% British/Irish songs could chart, Soph would be #8. :lol: Surely if you're including Pendulum (British based Australian) you have to include Aggro Santos (British based Brazilian)? I think britster just forgot Pendulum were Australian. They seem to be considered British all the time.
May 16, 201015 yr The British Isles can technically be considered homegrown, and Ireland is part of the British Isles. Only Nothern Ireland is British. Boyzone for one are all from the Republic of Ireland so should not be in a British only chart.
May 16, 201015 yr Only Nothern Ireland is British. Boyzone for one are all from the Republic of Ireland so should not be in a British only chart. But this *isn't* a British only chart - regardless of the justification for Ireland being included britster specified it's British & Irish.
