February 26, 201213 yr So is this the first official Top 100 singles chart? Where was it posted? Are there previous Top 100 charts available?
February 26, 201213 yr Author Trying to find out from the guy who posted it! He has just come online so hopefully I'll find out soon....
February 26, 201213 yr Author Just got a reply! Apparantly it was posted in full on the IRMA website on Friday at lunchtime but was then taken down and the Top 50 put up as usual. From the way the reply I got was worded there is a possibilty that they will be posting the full chart in future. While updating my spreadsheet I did notice that on closer inspection Ireland has had a Top 100 for quite some time. Chasing Cars is listed with a total of 188 weeks. Checking my spreadsheet it has spent only 51 weeks inside the Top 50 which means a further 137 weeks below the Top 50.

I just hope that they're consistent with it, I'd hate if it was Top100 one week Top 50 the next. Surely they'll have the top 250 on record anyway!!!!
February 27, 201213 yr Just email IRMA to ask them to post the Top 100 from now on, I wonder what they'll reply! :kink:
February 27, 201213 yr Author It was either a one-off mistake or they're intending to start posting it every week! We'll find out for sure on Friday...
February 27, 201213 yr A top 100 would be really lovely. Maybe we'll actually get sales figures next.
February 28, 201213 yr IRMA got back to me You are correct, since last Friday we have increased our Top 50 Singles charts to a Top 100 chart. The reason why we have currently listed the Top 50 Singles charts is just a ‘cosmetic’ one as I’m waiting for our web designer to come back to me with a Top 100 logo. Hopefully this will be fixed by this coming Friday and going forward you should see the Top 100. As for the sales figures – these are private and confidential and only disclosed to IRMA members. Best regards, Daniela EXCITING!!!!!! :cheer:
February 28, 201213 yr Author Brilliant! I can now amend my spreadsheet to incorporate the Top 100 - didn't want to do it if it was only going to be for 1 week! :)
February 28, 201213 yr Brilliant! I can now amend my spreadsheet to incorporate the Top 100 - didn't want to do it if it was only going to be for 1 week! :) Me too, I wish they updated the archive, just from the start of the year, of the Top 100s. :

Kimbra). The last song to return to No1 was Jessie J’s ‘Price Tag’ exactly a year ago, deposed for one week by Lady Gaga’s ‘Born This Way’. Emeli Sandé dips to No2 after her two week stint at the top with ‘Next To Me’, ahead of Flo Rida who takes a fifth week at No3 with ‘Wild Ones’ (feat. Sia). Jedward claim this week’s highest new entry at No5 with their fifth Irish hit ‘Waterline’ – voted last Friday to represent Ireland in the Eurovision Song Contest in Azerbaijan next May. This will be the first time any act has represented Ireland in two consecutive years. The next new entry is at No15 for the unlikely pairing of N-Dubz’ Dappy with Queen’s Brian May on ‘Rockstar’. It’s Dappy’s second solo appearance in this chart following ‘No Regrets’ which reached No8 last year, and it’s Brian May’s third – ‘Driven By You’ and ‘Too Much Love Will Kill You’ charted in the early 1990’s. The third and final new entry in this week’s Top 30 is at No20 for Philly hip-hop duo Chiddy Bang with ‘Ray Charles’ - their second Irish hit following ‘Opposite Of Adults’ which reached No10 two years ago. Following her Brit Awards performance and victories last week, Adele returns to No1 in the Album Chart with ‘21’ – bringing her tally at the top to 34 weeks. Emeli Sandé’s ‘Our Version Of Events’ climbs back from No3 to No2 while Whitney Houston’s ‘Ultimate Collection’ drops to No3 from last week’s top spot. Irish artists claim both of this week’s new entries: Keywest are at No15 with their debut release ‘The Message’ and The Cranberries are at No17 with ‘Roses’, their sixth studio album and first new material in eleven years. Of the previous five, their debut ‘Everybody Else Is Doing It, So Why Can’t We?’ was the most successful, spending five weeks at No1 in 2004. Edited March 19, 201213 yr by Shaky Fan
March 2, 201213 yr Good grief, a top 100? I wonder how many copies an average No.100 sells :D Anyway good to see Gotye back where he belongs
March 2, 201213 yr Author Good grief, a top 100? I wonder how many copies an average No.100 sells :D Can't see it being too many! :)
March 2, 201213 yr Author Also, Jedward entering at No.5 does not bode well for our Eurovision chances Lipstick entered at no 2 but was that so soon after winning the Eurosong? Waterline will be around for a while yet and will no doubt drop until the physical is released (I'd imagine just ahead of the contest) and it will bounce back up. Lipstick's full Top 50 chart run was 2 3 3 3 3 6 11 11 16 12 14 11 3 1 1 2 4 4 5 10 12 20 19 31 33 30 31 44

It's going to be more difficult to compare how well songs do now when we have half of them on Top 50 runs and the other half on Top 100. :unsure: But don't get me wrong, I'm LOVING the Top 100!
March 2, 201213 yr Just in case anyone is interested, Maverick Sabre announced at his concert on Wednesday that 'Lonely Are The Brave' has gone Gold (after only 4 weeks). The album chart must be having very high sales at the moment! Edited March 2, 201213 yr by CianS
March 2, 201213 yr I'm just annoyed at their insistence on keeping sales private. Having the top 100 is really nice though. Pity there's no archive.
