Posted January 3, 201213 yr A new year and a new thread! And before we get down to business a few links and some background information...... The Irish chart is revealed online every Friday afternoon and covers sales between Friday and Thursday. Since the beginning of 2007 the main sales chart has included all physical and download sales as in the UK. The main charts are the singles chart (a Top 50), the artist albums chart (a Top 100), the compilation album chart (a Top 30) and the download-only chart (a Top 20). The first 3 of these can be found at www.irma.ie while www.chart-track.com carries the Top 50 singles, Top 75 Artist albums, Top 20 compilations and Top 20 downloads along with weekly commentaries. A weekly airplay chart is compiled by Neilsen but since the middle of 2008 this has been unavailable to the public. During 2009 IRMA also started publishing the Indie Album Chart - initially a Top 20 but this was reduced to a Top 10 after a couple of weeks and returning to a Top 20 again in April 2010 which has continued to publish. Traditionally the Irish chart was broadcast on the national pop station 2FM (the Irish equivalent of Radio 1 in the UK!). From the beginning of 2FM back in May 1979 this was normally in the form of a 2 hour show though the format and days and times regularly changed. However at the start of 2010 the show was axed without explanation. For a while they continued to carry the charts on their website but a revamp of the site saw that feature removed. For the last 2 years there was no year end chart on 2FM - 31st December 2010 saw a 2 hour show playing the number 1 singles of the year adding the download chart and artist album chart no 1s of the week and this year there was absolutely nothing. It is most probable that they have lost the rights to broadcast the chart. However the chart show lives on elsewhere in the form of "Top 40 Oifigiúil na hÉireann" (Ireland's Official Top 40). This is a weekly programme presented entirely in the Irish language by Daithi O'Daibhin. It is produced by a company called Digital Audio Productions which ironically was set up by former 2FM presenter Dusty Rhodes. It is syndicated across a handful of stations who seem to broadcast it at different times over the weekend. There is a list of stations carrying the show on wikipedia but this seems to be inaccurate as some of them don't have it listed in their current schedules. What follows is a list of stations which I could find as at 1st January 2012 along with times and links to listen. Unless otherwise stated this would be the "Top 40 Oifigiúil na hÉireann" syndicated programme. Raidio Ri-Ra Listen at: http://www.rrr.ie/player.asx Station Website: http://www.rrr.ie Broadcast at: Fri, Sat, Sun 18:00 - 20:00 Beat 102-103 Listen at: http://www.beat102103.com/player_new.php Station Website: http://www.beat102103.com/ Broadcast at: Sun 07:50 - 09:50 (repeated 22:00 - 00:00) Red FM Listen at: http://www.redfm.ie/player/ Station Website: http://www.redfm.ie/ Broadcast at: Sun 10:00 - 12:00 Spin103.8 Listen at: http://media.spin1038.com/listen_live/popup Station Website: http://spin1038.com Broadcast at: Sun 18:45 - 20:45 This is also presented by Daithi O'Daibhin but is listed as Hit 30 na hÉireann and according to the show page on the website it also features the album and download charts. Spin Southwest Listen at: http://media.spinsouthwest.com Station Website: http://media.spinsouthwest.com/listen_live/popup Broadcast at: as Sun 18:45 - 20:45 This is also presented by Daithi O'Daibhin but is listed as Hit 30 na hÉireann and according to the show page on the website it also features the album and download charts. Spin Southwest is a sister station to Spin103.8 Galway Bay FM Listen at: http://vista.streamguys.com/958 Station Website: http://www.galwaynews.ie/galwaybayfm Broadcast at: Sun 21:00 - ??:?? Ireland’s Top 30 Singles & Albums. This is an entirely different show and all that the schedule reveals is that it starts at 9pm on Sunday evenings. Midwest Radio Listen at: http://www.midwestradio.ie/mwr/listen-live.html Station Website: http://www.midwestradio.ie Broadcast at: Fri (22:00 - 23:00) THE HOT HITS HOUR AS GAEILGE (Brendan Roache is in the hotseat counting down Ireland's Official Top 40 as Gaeilge) Update: 9th January 2011 An update on the links to the stations broadcasting the chart shows..... I have removed Midwest Radio as it appears that they no longer count down the official charts but instead they use their own listener compiled Top 10. I missed LM FM's scheduled programme on Saturday evening so will leave that one in for now. On the assumption (for now) that it is correct this is when you can catch the Chart show online..... Friday 18:00 - 20:00 on Radio Ri-Ra ("Top 40 Oifigiúil na hÉireann") Saturday 18:00 - 20:00 on Radio Ri-Ra ("Top 40 Oifigiúil na hÉireann") 22:00 - 00:00 on LM FM Sunday 07:50 - 09:50 Beat 102-103 ("Top 40 Oifigiúil na hÉireann") 10:00 - 12:00 Red FM ("Top 40 Oifigiúil na hÉireann") 18:00 - 20:00 on Radio Ri-Ra ("Top 40 Oifigiúil na hÉireann") 18:45 - 20:45 on Spin 103.8 and Spin Southwest (Hit 30 na hÉireann) 21:00 - 23:00 on Galway Bay FM (Despite being listed as Ireland's Top 30 Singles & Albums on their website it is actually "Top 40 Oifigiúil na hÉireann"). There is also a possibilty that it is on at the same time on Saturdays. 22:00 - 00:00 Beat 102-103 ("Top 40 Oifigiúil na hÉireann") ================================================================================================================ Update: 16th January 2011 An update on the links to the stations broadcasting the chart shows..... I have put Midwest Radio back as they now seem to be broadcasting the official chart again. And LMFM has been removed as there is no chart show at the time listed. So the up to date schedule is as follows.... Friday 18:00 - 20:00 on Radio Ri-Ra ("Top 40 Oifigiúil na hÉireann") 22:00 - 23:0 on Midwest Radio THE HOT HITS HOUR AS GAEILGE (Brendan Roache is in the hotseat counting down Ireland's Official Top 40 as Gaeilge) Saturday 18:00 - 20:00 on Radio Ri-Ra ("Top 40 Oifigiúil na hÉireann") Sunday 07:50 - 09:50 Beat 102-103 ("Top 40 Oifigiúil na hÉireann") 10:00 - 12:00 Red FM ("Top 40 Oifigiúil na hÉireann") 18:00 - 20:00 on Radio Ri-Ra ("Top 40 Oifigiúil na hÉireann") 18:45 - 20:45 on Spin 103.8 and Spin Southwest (Hit 30 na hÉireann) 21:00 - 23:00 on Galway Bay FM (Despite being listed as Ireland's Top 30 Singles & Albums on their website it is actually "Top 40 Oifigiúil na hÉireann"). There is also a possibilty that it is on at the same time on Saturdays. 22:00 - 00:00 Beat 102-103 ("Top 40 Oifigiúil na hÉireann") If anyone has any additions / corrections to the above list please let me know and I will update it For full archive charts from January 2000 onwards I would recommend the chart-track website as it contains all the weekly charts since then. The irma website seems to have added an archive section which can be found at http://www.irma.ie/charts_archive/overview.asp though this only seems to cover the Top 50 singles and artist albums of 2007 at present. The irma site also contains year end Top 20s since 2001. Also worth checking out is www.irishcharts.ie which contains a fully searchable singles database going right back to 1962 when the first recognised chart was compiled (though there was a Top 10 published regularly from 1959). It is restricted to Top 30 hits but seems to be updated on a regular basis. This site also contains various other facts and figures and does have a certifications section though this is rather limited in content. Sales info is extremely hard to come by for Ireland and the only details that seem to appear are those mentioned from time to time in the chart-track commentary. No certifications are published in Ireland until the entire list of possible certifications for the previous year been submitted and verified. This list is published only once a year and refers always to trade deliveries made up to the end of the previous calendar year. Therefore, the 2009 certifications were published in 2010 - the 2010 certifications were published in 2011 and the 2011 certifications won't be published until an unknown date later in 2012. This takes time. Going by previous years it is typically March when the list is published. It could be (much) later, but it's unlikely to be earlier. They may forget about it and not publish it immediately when it is ready. But it will eventually be published. Please be patient. There is no point asking when the certifications will be known - but as soon as they are, they will be posted here. Many pre-2000 singles charts were posted on the UKMix forums back in 2006.

January 3, 201213 yr Author The Year End Charts of 2011 Irish Top 20 Singles Chart 2011 The following is the Top 20 chart posted on the IRMA website. The chart broadcast on "Top 40 Oifigiúil na hÉireann" on New Years Day 2012 differs slightly and appears to be the Top 40 excluding sales from the final week of the year. If and when I get any further positions or any album charts I will update this. 01 Adele - Someone Like You 02 Jedward - Lipstick 03 Rihanna ft Calvin Harris - We Found Love 04 LMFAO - Party Rock Anthem 05 Little Mix - Cannonball 06 Jennifer Lopez ft Pitbull - On The Floor 07 Maroon 5 ft Christina Aguillera - Moves Like Jagger 08 Christina Perri - Jar of Hearts 09 Pitbull ft Ne-Yo, Afrojack & Nayer - Give Me Everything 10 Jessie J ft BOB - Price Tag 11 Adele - Rolling In The Deep 12 Bruno Mars - Grenade 13 Rihanna - S&M 14 One Direction - What Makes You Beautiful 15 Ed Sheeran - A Team 16 Snoop Dogg - Sweat 17 Lady Gaga - Born This Way 18 The Wanted - Glad You Came 19 Adele - Set Fire To The Rain 20 Aloe Blaac - I Need A Dollar IRMA have also produced a lsit of the 20 biggest selling albums. This list combines artist albums with compilations. There are only 3 compilations in the chart - Now 80, Now 79 and Now 78 (in that order). I have posted the Top 17 artist albums with the Now titles added in bold where they slot into the combined chart. Irish Top 17 Artist Albums Chart 2011 01 Adele - 21 02 Michael Buble - Christmas Now 80 03 Adele - 19 04 Bruno Mars - Doowops & Hooligans 05 Rihanna - Loud Now 79 06 Rihanna - Talk That Talk 07 Westlife - Greatest Hits 08 One Direction - Up All Night Now 78 09 Coldplay - Mylo Xyloto 10 Imelda May - Mayhem / More Mayhem 11 Florence & The Machine - Ceremonials 12 Mary Byrne - Mine & Yours 13 Imelda May - Love Tattoo 14 Lady Gaga - Born This Way 15 Jedward - Victory 16 Ed Sheeran - + 17 Olly Murs - In Case You Didn't Know This is all that is currently known!! If anyone would like to hear the actual countdowns from "Top 40 Oifigiúil na hÉireann" then I have posted it on You Tube. TsrCYWgsRTg Finally I'm going to repeat this in large, bold type though no doubt someone will ask anyway Sales info is extremely hard to come by for Ireland and the only details that seem to appear are those mentioned from time to time in the chart-track commentary.

January 3, 201213 yr Author **Just a reminder...... I will post the charts here around 6pm on a Friday The agreement is that no-one other than the agreed regular posters from the thread should post the charts before that.**
January 4, 201213 yr Hahah Jedward at #2! Glad to see Little Mix as high as #7 and very surprised Matt managed #25, that's pretty good going. Hopefully we get more of the album chart, I don't care much for the singles. Edited January 4, 201213 yr by Electro Paradise
January 4, 201213 yr Author We will have more of the album chart at some point! IRMA usually post the Top 20 on their site and the Hot Press Annual due for publiction in the spring always carries the Top 50.

During this period ‘21’ has now spent a phenomenal thirty weeks at No1 and has never dipped lower than No8. With hefty price promotion in-store and on-line, Bruno Mars climbs from No12 to No2 with ‘Doo-Wops & Hooligans’ – the fifth best-seller of 2011 and a former No1. Olly Murs climbs a place to complete the Top 3 with ‘In Case You Didn’t Know’ giving him his highest placing in the Album Chart to date. With no significant new releases this week, the remainder of the Top 40 is characterised by resurgent 2011 best-sellers – most notably Jessie J (up from No21 to No10), Lady Gaga (up from No26 to No14), Katy Perry (up from No39 to No19) and Nicki Minaj (a re-entry at No17). One notable absentee from this week’s Top 30 is Michael Bublé, whose ‘Christmas’ album takes a record-breaking plummet from No1 to No60. The previous three X Factor winners Matt Cardle, Joe McElderry and Alexander Burke all spent exactly four weeks at No1 on the Singles Chart following their victories, and this week Little Mix emulate the success of their predecessors by taking a fourth week at the top with ‘Cannonball’. Olly Murs continues to mount a challenge, up from No3 to No2 with ‘Dance With Me Tonight’ – also gaining his highest-ever position on this chart. Rihanna & Calvin Harris climb a place to No3 after 14 weeks in the Top 10 with ‘We Found Love’ while Coldplay’s ‘Paradise’ drops two places to No4. There’s only one new entry in this week’s Top 30 – JLS with ‘Do You Feel What I Feel?’ at No29, their ninth hit single in Ireland. Shaky Fan's Commentary As well as Michael Buble's drop in the album chart there is another huge fall for a Christmas hit over on the singles chart with Ryan Sheridan dropping out of the Top 50 from no 8.

January 6, 201213 yr #1 on iTunes all week and only #4 in the end? Hmph. I suppose it must have not had a very good lead then :( Ah well, #2 is still good, at least it got the #1 where it counts more :P Fantastic to see '21' getting a thirtieth week at #1 - can't believe how many weeks it is ahead of the UK :o Bublé 1-60 :lol: I WISH Troublemaker would be doing that poorly in the UK :( Although I prefer it to Dynamite.

January 6, 201213 yr Author Year end charts for 2011 updated in 2nd post. Also fixed broken link to listen live for Midwest radio
January 8, 201213 yr Author Gonna try to do this every week (probably on Sunday evenings!). It's a podcast of "Top 40 Oifigiúil na hÉireann" which I plan to upload to You Tube. g_g6CUhFOko
January 9, 201213 yr Unbelievable that the best selling song in Ireland for once wasn't an X-Factor, charity or novelty single!
January 9, 201213 yr Author Update: 9th January 2011 An update on the links to the stations broadcasting the chart shows..... I have removed Midwest Radio as it appears that they no longer count down the official charts but instead they use their own listener compiled Top 10. I missed LM FM's scheduled programme on Saturday evening so will leave that one in for now. On the assumption (for now) that it is correct this is when you can catch the Chart show online..... Friday 18:00 - 20:00 on Radio Ri-Ra ("Top 40 Oifigiúil na hÉireann") Saturday 18:00 - 20:00 on Radio Ri-Ra ("Top 40 Oifigiúil na hÉireann") 22:00 - 00:00 on LM FM Sunday 07:50 - 09:50 Beat 102-103 ("Top 40 Oifigiúil na hÉireann") 10:00 - 12:00 Red FM ("Top 40 Oifigiúil na hÉireann") 18:00 - 20:00 on Radio Ri-Ra ("Top 40 Oifigiúil na hÉireann") 18:45 - 20:45 on Spin 103.8 and Spin Southwest (Hit 30 na hÉireann) 21:00 - 23:00 on Galway Bay FM (Despite being listed as Ireland's Top 30 Singles & Albums on their website it is actually "Top 40 Oifigiúil na hÉireann"). There is also a possibilty that it is on at the same time on Saturdays. 22:00 - 00:00 Beat 102-103 ("Top 40 Oifigiúil na hÉireann") Edited January 9, 201213 yr by Shaky Fan

Olly Murs has to be content with holding on to the No2 spot for a second week while Little Mix drop to No4 with ‘Cannonball’ ending their four week reign at the top. With nine artists acheiving at least four weeks at No1 in the last year, 2011 saw artists holding on to the top spot for significantly longer than in 2010 – with only 16 different tracks topping the chart in 2011 compared to 25 different tracks in 2010. This week’s Chart sees a few heathly climbers as Jessie J leaps 32 places to enter the Top 10 at No3 – her best performance since topping the Chart last February with ‘Price Tag’. Rizzle Kicks jump 27 places with ‘Mama Do The Hump’ to enter the Top 20 at No17 while Taio Cruz takes ‘Troublemaker’ up 21 places to enter the Top 30 at No25. Adele again heads this week’s Album Chart in a Top 10 line-up of artists unchanged since last week. In a slight shuffling of position Olly Murs moves up a place from No3 to No2 with ‘In Case You Didn’t Know’, Coldplay’s ‘Mylo Xyloto’ moves up a place from No4 to No3 while Florence + The Machine climb with ‘Ceremonials’ – up to No5 from No6. Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds see their self-titled debut move up 29 places back into the Top 20 at No18 while the sole new entry in this week’s Chart belongs to The Maccabees whose third album release ‘Given To The Wild’ enters the chart at No31 – their first appearance on the Irish Album Chart.

January 13, 201213 yr Flo Rida has done pretty much exactly the same in Ireland as in the UK then, but slightly more erratically. To compare; UK chart run 2-3-4-5-6-7-3-1- Ireland chart run 5-3-5-6-13-12-7-5-1- 'Mama Do The Hump' has also repeated its UK feat of outcharting DWTT and WIWAY to become Rizzle Kicks' highest charting single as the lead artist :D And another new peak for 'Earthquake' - slowly working its way up there :P :D '21' now up to 31 weeks at #1! Will be at #1 for the one-year anniversary if it manages it again next week :P It could do the same in the UK next week but will more likely end up #2 behind Bruno Mars as he's overtaken in the midweeks.

January 13, 201213 yr Gotye has charted on our shores, finally :D Should break the top 30 next week too :) All I need now is for 212 to become a hit and then I'll be laughing
January 14, 201213 yr Gotye has charted on our shores, finally :D Should break the top 30 next week too :) All I need now is for 212 to become a hit and then I'll be laughing i still haven't heard Gotye on the radio, how did he chart? Do you reckon Six will re-enter this week with A Whole Lot a Lovin' ? :kink:
January 14, 201213 yr i still haven't heard Gotye on the radio, how did he chart? Do you reckon Six will re-enter this week with A Whole Lot a Lovin' ? :kink: He charted at No.47.. internet hype I suppose? Plus it was assisted massively by the Walk Off The Earth cover doing the rounds on YouTube during the week. If you haven't seen it check it out, it's really cool :) And I didn't get your Six comment?
