Cian'S Monthly Review

Cian'S Monthly Review: February 2012

This month sees Maverick Sabre jump 8 places to the top of the chart, thanks to a combination of the the continupous loop of his debut album 'Lonely Are The Brave' and also the pre concert hype as I saw him in Dublin on the 29th where he had a brilliant performance and showed he truly deserved the number one position.

The Weeknd have a huge jump up 218 places to number 2, this month I downloaded his three mixtapes ('House Of Balloons', 'Thursday' and 'Echoes Of Silence'), which weren't as good as expected I love his song 'The Birds Part 1' and his feature in Drake's 'Crew Love' and was expecting the mixtapes to equal that standard, but the only tracks that did were his cover of Dirty Diana 'D.D.' , 'Montreal' and 'High For This'.

February saw 'Passenger' by Lisa Hannigan get its first plays and it notched up an impressive 48 plays putting Lisa 4th this month. Keeping on the Irish theme we see The Coronas re-enter at 5, thanks to the recent album 'Closer To You' and The Kanyu Tree make their debut off the back of the album 'People Street' at number 13.

In the art of reminising on the past I listened to the complete by singles by some artist from over the years I didn't get the chance to listen to, all of which happen to be male solo artist, Craig David, Enrique Iglesias and Daniel Bedingfield. This reminising results in re-entries from these three at 7,8 and 12 respectively.

Finally Shakira makes it back into the Top 10 mostly due to the fact that 'Je L'Aime Á Mourir', the #1 single this week, notched up a huge 25 plays this month.

Total Plays this month: 1046 up 0.09%
