Re 17 V/A - Patrick Kavanagh - Almost Everything

 

An interesting one here! Originally released on Claddagh Records in 1964, this double album also features the only recording of the revered Irish poet reading his most celebrated poems. Now remastered and reimagined this new two-part album features the original recordings and Kavanagh’s poetry read by Bono, Hozier, Imelda May, Liam Neeson, Jessie Buckley, Aidan Gillen, Lisa McGee, Lisa Hannigan, President Michael D. Higgins, Evanna Lynch, Sharon Corr, Kathleen Watkins, Christy Moore, Rachael Blackmore and Aisling Bea set to a truly wonderful music composition. So it appears that while the new material makes it a compilation there have been enough streams of the original part to allow it to enter the artist album chart too!

CLASSIC COUNTDOWN

Unfortunately the staff responsible for the IRMA website have cleared out slightly early and there is nothing updated there. The figures above come from the OCC website.

Edited December 29, 20231 yr by Shaky Fan

I hate when this happens with IRMA, as it does also happen occasionally during the year, i hope they add the full chart to the site at some point during the week.

I'll add these into the original post from last week at some point but this is what I can work out of the missing positions from those charts. First up the singles. I've confirmed 31 of the bottom 50 singles as follows:

 

54 51 Bing Crosby - White Christmas

46 52 Cian Ducrot - All For You

60 54 Michael Jackson & The Jackson 5 - Santa Claus Is Coming To Town

64 55 Slade - Merry Xmas Everybody

65 57 Ava Max - Christmas Without You

53 58 Dermot Kennedy - Kiss Me

56 59 Lewis Capaldi - Forget Me

69 60 Britney Spears - My Only Wish (This Year)

 

63 62 Eliza Rose / Interplanetary - B O T A (Baddest of Them All)

55 63 Rihanna - Lift Me Up

61 64 Harry Styles - As It Was

62 65 Eminem - Mockingbird

83 66 Nat King Cole - Deck The Halls

75 67 Bruce Springsteen - Santa Claus Is Coming To Town

66 68 Tiesto & Tate McRae - 10:35

68 69 Ed Sheeran - Celestial

 

79 71 Chuck Berry - Run Rudolph Run

82 74 Kylie Minogue - Santa Baby

77 75 Tory Lanez - The Colour Violet

91 77 Beach Boys - Little Saint Nick

92 79 Michael Buble - Let It Snow

84 80 Dolly Parton & Michael Buble - Cuddle Up Cozy Down Christmas

 

Re 81 Kelly Clarkson / Brett Eldredge - Under The Mistletoe

89 82 Elvis Presley - Blue Christmas

93 84 Mud - Lonely This Christmas

98 86 Perry Como - It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas

Re 89 Jona Lewie - Stop The Cavalry

100 90 Pretenders - 2000 Miles

 

Re 92 Gwen Stefani ft Blake Shelton - You Make It Feel Like Christmas

95 94 Frank Sinatra - Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas

Re 98 Cliff Richard - Mistletoe & Wine

 

This one has re-entered the Top 100 this week. As it was in the chart 2 weeks ago it must have dropped out last week.

 

59 xx Taylor Swift - Christmas Tree Farm

 

Meanwhile on the artist album chart we have slightly more positions confirmed. I have been able to work out 37 of the bottom 50 from last week, and again we have titles re-entering the top 100 this week which were also in the chart 2 weeks ago which we know now had dropped out of the chart last week.

CLASSIC COUNTDOWN

 

31/12/22 1980 https://www.rte.ie/radio/gold/clips/11481030/

 

Although the person responsible for the charts part of the IRMA website seems to have returned they still managed to miss out the compilation chart this week so we only have the Top 10 as published on the OCC site. And as expected the missing Christmas charts remain that way and it seems highly unlikely that we'll ever see them as there doesn't seem to be any way of making contact.

Edited December 29, 20231 yr by Shaky Fan

These missing charts are confusing the hell out of me as I'm trying to get the discussion for 2023 up and running at the same time (that should be sorted later on today). I've just been working on the compilation chart part of my spreadsheet which is completely confusing as not only did they miss out the full Top 30 on Christmas week but only the Top 10 was posted on the final chart of the year. From the first chart of the new year I have managed to work out a large chunk of the missing section from that week. The (as full as I can get it) chart for that week now reads as follows:

 

01 01 V/A - Now 113

04 02 Motion Picture Cast Recording - The Greatest Showman

09 03 V/A - 80s No 1s

07 04 Original Soundtrack - Elvis

?? 05 V/A - 70s No 1s

?? 06 OST - Mama Mia

10 07 V/A - The Busk

?? 08 Motion Picture Cast Recording - Encanto

02 09 V/A - Patrick Kavanagh - Almost Everything

03 10 V/A - The Best Ever... Christmas

 

08 11 OST - Guardians of The Galaxy - Awesome Mix 1

?? 12 OST - Suicide Squad: The Album

?? 13 V/A - The Jazz Album

?? 15 OST - Frozen

?? 16 V/A - The Annual 2023

?? 17 OST - Grease
